JOKE

Twenty20 England
comment on the article

I dont like to come on hear and slate a team but todays shocking display with the bat has forced me into this. We look like we have never played the game. we loose two quick wickets and the wheels come off. S A will get the runs in 10 overs.

POOR!!!!!!!

Lol. Luck... yeah because it's a lottery is why it's the same teams that seem to be winning consistently.
That's a cop-out and an excuse.

THis is only the second 20 over tournament of all time! There's only been one team win so far and they struggled to get through the first phase!

Test match cricket proves beyond doubt how good you actually are.

I do agree with yoru views on test cricket.

Unfortunately the sad reality is England has a better chance of rolling over the saffas in a T20 game than they do in a test match currently.

When SA play India luck might decide the winner.
Last nigth had nothing to do with luck and everythign to do with SA just being a better side on the night. From fielding to batting to bowling they were just a class above.

And yet again KP failed (well semi-failed) and England couldnt win.

hotdiva, can't disagree with your comment. We invented all forms of the game yet can hardly claim to be masters of them.
We are just about marginally better at 50 overs that we are T20, but hardly something to crow about.

P.S looking at your posts you claim to be a West Indian supporter or a Pakistan supporter. Talk about hedging your bets - get of the fence before you start slagging other countries.

I am sorry but I disagree. There is no virtually no relationship between results at 2020 and proper cricket. Lets examine them

Holland beat England.... no way would the dutch win a test series against england

Australia go out in the first round....no way are austeralia a weak side, they remain powerful and beat south africa in their last test series

West indies beat australia...no way would this happen, aussies are in a different class at the real stuff

West indies beat england.... england hammered them in the test series and the one day series

India go out before the semi finals..... india are in the top 3 in world cricket

so all in all its a joke 2020 and bears no resemblence. Anyone who argues otherwise has no understanding of the game at all.
