T20 World Cup

[Sean Ashley]

The bowling unit is on point. Archer staying fit has been crucial he makes the attack so balanced.

And when your attack is doing it. Then the job for the batters becomes much easier.

If west indies win by under 50 runs then we avoid India. But I'm not afraid of anyone.

Brutal.

USA blown away … what else is there left to say

SA beat the windies, so we finish second in the group. Obviously we won't know who we face until the last round of fixtures in the other group, but does anyone know if we'll be the 1.30am game or the 3pm game? BBC hasn't updated yet, all still showing as TBC.

It all depends on India. They will play in the semi final that best suits their time zone, due to the massive popularity of cricket there

Agree with this, Archer is a point of difference to the side.

Bumrah is the key for India, if we can get on top of him then we have a chance against India

It’s easier said than done. He’s so precise in both the power play and at the death.
Salt is key for trying to take the game to them early.

Agreed, it's a huge IF because he is that good. He essentially reduces the innings to 16 overs.
Rashid is the closest we have to that

Similar to Wood in that respect. doesn’t have huge variations. Can blow away tail enders and win matches but can go for a lot of runs.
