Not a bad game at all there by Silk. Takes another screamer then just stood and delivered towards the end. No dancing around, just power hitting. I'll take that over airey-fairy reverse sweeps any day of the week.

So maxwell with twice the neck and half the ADD?

Those last 10 overs hosed England. They really should work on that.

And their last 10 overs bowling as well. Thought they had this and just been outclassed

Guptill: only ever scoring runs when they literally don't count.
The rest of the team should be embarrassed as gently caress, though.
E: conspiracy theory corner: the rest of the team agreed to get out for gently caress all to try and boost his confidence. At least, I hope that's the case.

Why does he need the confidence boost? This thread told me he was thrashing them in the nets and due for a big one

On the topic of India/Pakistan relations: they tend to get on really well in expat communities. I will be watching all the world cup with a load of Indians and Pakistanis and it will be great.
