I'm wondering no more.. 100 not out off 47 balls

But England's bowling is poor

how many do they need 2 win

Chris gayle passed it....what. Chris gayle is gayle force. You haven't been watching t20 tournaments this year Chris gayle has been destroying teams this year. It's the best I've seen gayle for a while. And today it was no surprising he destroyed England today. Can't see England doing that well they don't have the class players like West Indies, South Africa and India. They have Ben stokes and butler but will they deliver in big tournaments. Time will tell.

they badly need guys to match Gayle's performance if they are to progress further for sure..

I'm sure if the West Indies were to face the New Zealanders in the next stage everybody would be looking forward to seeing fireworks from both Gayle and McCallum!!

^^ They could look forward to it if they wanted to but they wouldn't see it as McCullum has retired from international cricket

Shame that big Kevin was in the studios in England and not in the team..
And why hasn't Broad been included in the squad.

^ Broad hasn't bowled well in white ball cricket for a long time. The truth is England haven't produced a top class limited overs bowler for many a year, I would have picked Plunkett though to add a bit of pace.

Agree completely on KP, there's an argument to not have him in the Test team but there's no way to justify him not playing t20s

Thanks for correcting me again I forgot about McCallum retiring

He's being saved for test matches.

^He'd only have to bowl 24 deliveries a few times a week... If I was him I be pissed at not being included in the squad.

England women won their first match against Bangladesh by 36 runs.
