Smashing them about, lovely stuff
Jos Buttler wants to get back to the hotel to watch Scotland get knocked out.
England win by 10 wickets
117-0 (9.4 overs)
That'll sort the questions about run rate!

Puts them damned yankee upstarts back in their place.
Still got to beat a recognised major player though.

Interesting POV given that West Indies have won it twice in the last ten years and are the home team.
Well, yeah, we lost our one major-team match so far, but look where the Aussies are now..
South Africa?
Aussies with a must-win match vs India, and it's one they'd prefer to win big to put a bit more run rate daylight between themselves and Afghanistan, in case they roll Bangladesh.
Just took a peek on Cricinfo, and there's potentially rain in play. A washout would really set things up for Afghanistan.
And you know what? If the Aussies lose, and Afghanistan go through ... I won't be too disappointed. Firstly, because it'll be the end of David Warner in Aussie colours. Secondly, because IMO the Afghanistan side will deserve it for their win against us.

Just a quiet guy.
Why do you not like Warner?
1. His role in sandpaper-gate, in particular dragging Bancroft into it and probably ruining a youngsters career permanently.
2. He's just generally struck me as a bit of a knob on the field. No idea what he's actually like off-field, but I've never liked his on-field persona.
3. As much as he's still capable of winning matches single-handedly, he's not a tournament winner anymore and I firmly believe his presence in this T20 side has blocked Australia from picking a better side for the long term.
