2014 ICC World Twenty20

Nice start. 0-2 after 1 over.

How the hell did England manage to take 2 hours to bowl 20 overs,a complete joke.

It took a while to keep picking it out of the crowd and off of the ground after they dropped it

Plus the incessant 'drying' of the ball.

Can't believe England actually won,thanks to a 150 partnership between Hales 116 not out & Morgan 57.Still in shock !!

Cracking chase, Hales wow... a true Chris Gayle style knock. Formerly ranked number 1 in the world, begs the question why has he never been capped in odi cricket? Oh yeah Cook wanted to open with his mucker Bell.

Bresnan 0-48 .... all i can think is that he must be the nicest guy in the world or a huge ass kisser to the right people.

Is that the highest score that's England have scored in the T20?

Hales has finally fired, just like he's does at county level

No, it was only England's 12th highest score in T20. The highest was 214 against New Zealand in February 2013.

If your going to point the finger at a bowler then look no further than captain Broad who should do his talking on the pitch & not off it moaning about the weather.

Broad now hides from bowling in the Power-Play overs & at the back end of the innings,just like his Notts mate Swann.Bresnan does both these shitty jobs.Bowling figures have to be taken in context.
As well as dropping 2 catches,Bresnan had 2 dropped off his own bowling.

Completely agree about Broad hiding from bowling at the tough times... but i would also ask, when was the last time Bresnan bowled well and took important wickets in any form of the game?

^^ I take your point,I've watched Bresnan bowl for Yorkshire from his debut as a 16 year old & he's never been a 5 wicket haul type of bowler in the same way Broad or Anderson has been.Hopefully Jordan can be that man,& if he had a decent run up he be bowling at 95mph instead of 90.
