T20 Cricket World Cup

[Cheddar George]

Two swing bowlers and the balls not swinging ....... 72-0 from 5 overs !

The Guardian is showing the score as 832-0. Mind you, the way they're going...

De Kock out (snigger), de Villiers in. Frying pans and fire spring to mind!

Jinxed him. Result!

T20 is an amazing game. SA score 229 and you think "That's it, game over. Nobody can chase a score like that"

Then the England batsmen come out, all the pressure off and just hit it. And suddenly it's game on. 65-1 from 4 overs. Whoever dreamt up T20, I'd like to buy them a beer

Looks like it's going to the wire...

What a game! Shambolic bowling from both sides but some glorious batting, particularly from Root. What a player that lad is.

Is it on the telly on a sensible service?

 

[John the Monkey]

Satan's badgers, what a game.

 

[AndyRM]

Meant to add, great efforts from De Kock and Roy. Without their innings' the game would have been nothing.

@srw - It's on Sky. Cricinfo and BBC have really good live updates and pretty much instant highlights too.

Just watched the highlights video on the beeb - all over in 5 minutes, via assorted bizarre scoops and ramps to score sixes. It's not Test Match Special, is it?

For live coverage I follow the Guardian's Over by Over when I've got the time, and I refuse to contribute to Jerry Hall's next divorce settlement so don't have Sky.

Cricinfo's live commentary for me. Has the nifty trick of popping the score in the browser tab, so one can have it peeping out from behind whatever you're supposed to be doing...

Despite their ineptitude in other areas, the ICC's "Digital Offering" is pretty good, and that's where I watched the highlights tonight.

I love the cricinfo score tab. Whoever came up with that is a genius.

The Guardian did it years ago.

Indeed, and in all forms of the game. Mention for Roy who only faced 16 balls for his 43.
