The 'tournament sixes' graphic is giving the middle finger to the associates, completely ignoring the first phase of the tournament which was considered a part of the proper tournament.

'This is good bowling under pressure'

Err. Bangladesh need 17 an over, hard to think of a less high pressure situation in T20 cricket.

Shakib has been rubbish.

Think he's doing a decent job of making sure they get something and keep their NRR from taking too bit a hit, to be honest.

Good stuff from Shakib. Playing himself into form for the back end of the tournament.

You should've seen how he started the innings. Played dotballs which in turn put a lot of pressure on Tamim to score. Rubbish bowling too.

Perfect example as to why stats shouldn't matter this much in cricket. Shakib has scored a half century but it's a very, very pointless innings as it took the momentum away from Bangladesh at a key time. Reminded me of some Misbah's innings.

Excellent win and start to the tournament. Helps our NRR as well.

Credit to Pakistani bowlers, it was a very flat pitch.

Joe Root vs Andre Russell right now. Kinda like watching two sons fighting each other. Joe Root is the favoured son though.

Curious to see how Braithwaite performs. Bought for big money by Delhi.

Root's batting nicely (sorry for jinxing him and getting him out) but Hales needs to get a shift on.

Barely more than six an over. Roy exactly run a ball... Need better from them.
I think he's got too much into the mindset of playing around Roy and is not taking the initiative himself to force the issue. Which is stupid when you consider his record suggests he's one of the best T20 players we've had.

Also why have we changed our kits from orange to pink?

Afridi best all-rounder? Really? What kind of clowns are voting in these polls?
