Fantastic from Gayle . Only caught the end of it but when he plays like that, not many sides would know how to bowl to him

Don't actually think the due was that bad, I thought it was more off England players not really playing much in these condition before.
not sure how many of the players have played day nighters in India, Bangladesh before.
the bowlers get better the more they play in these conditions.
think the bowlers need to practise more with the wet ball.
It will be interesting to see what night conditions are like around the country, India's a big place! As they said, it was very humid which could have had an effect. On the plus side for the bowlers, a damp outfield could slow the ball down to the boundary. gayle had a simple answer to that....

dont pretend to know a huge amount about the 20/20 game but whenever ive seen him play chris jordan looks terrible as a bowler. Am i missing him at his best or is he an actual waste of space?

Seems to do nothing except bowl wides or very easy balls to be smashed out the park.

He was England's most economical bowler today by a country mile. 6 an over is pretty damn good in T20.

Has a good Yorker but you need more than just a Yorker to get wickets.

Just been looking at some T20I bowling averages ...

Ben Stokes - 59.50, 9.52 economy
Chris Jordan - 29.33, 8.58 economy

Averages don't really mean much in twenty20, or wickets really, it's mainly economy, and neither are too smart on that front.

England set a challenging score but they were Gayle-forced, that's T-20 cricket and why it's difficult to pick a tournament winner. Just one spectacular performance from one player, with bat or ball, can win any game.

England's women about to kick off against Bangladesh on Sky Sports

Must say I'm loving this Bangladesh National Anthem........this is the 2nd time I've heard it now. It goes on forever but it's very hypnotic and tuneful

NZ bat. Interesting to see Ashton Agar bowling early. His first 2 balls each go for 6....

Just put the telly on for the game and there's already 8 overs gone

There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to when these games are starting........I was expecting it to start at 10am

the men's early games have been starting at 9.30am our time , but for some reason the women's games are all 10.00am starts if there is an early game

So obvious that BCCI have doctored all the pitches india are meant to be playing on.

How the hell can Dharamsala be this slow.

Nagpur was kind of understandable since that wickets always been slow but Dharmasala always been a pacy wicket and quick scoring ground.
