2012 ICC World Twenty20

^ England's 2nd batsman to make 99 in a T2
this year,following Hales 99 v West Indies this summer.A nice problem to have.

The differences between England and Afganistan are not just in the batting and bowling..
There's a large gap between England's sharpe fielding and Afgan's woeful performance in the field.

Comprehensive victory by England......... at one stage Afghanistan were 26-8 and in danger of posting the lowest international T20 score they recovered to being all out for 80,so England won by 116 runs and are already through to the super eights. they next play India on Sunday.

In what was already a dead match,with South Africa & Sri Lanka through to the next stages,will be a 7 over farce after a rain delay.Maybe not the best idea to stage a major tournement during the monsoon season.

Yep not the best idea was it
South Africa bt Sri Lanka by 32runs in the 7 over match
South Africa:78-4 Sri Lanka:46-5

I've been looking forward to the Australia v West Indies match..

West Indies could be the ones to watch..

With Gayle, Pollard, Samuels and Bravo...
Just a shame that their bowlers aren't top notch.

In the Australia vs West Indies match 50's from Gayle and Samuels helped West Indies post a very competitive total of 191-8 in their 20 overs,should be a good game with Australia having to bat well to win this one.

Looks like your point about the bowlers not being top notch proved vital as Australia were 100-1 after just 9.1 overs....... then it started raining and if no more play is possible then it will be Australia who will win on the Duckworth/Lewis method. shame the weather will ruin what should have been a great finish. update......... Australia won by 17runs on DL.

In the 1st game of the day New Zealand are playing Pakistan......... Pakistan batted 1st and posted a total of 177-6 in their 20 overs.

Interesting New Zealand's strength is in their agressive batting against a very good 20 over Pakistan bowling attack..

My money is on Omar Gul and teammates.
