Great bowling 

[Tommy Fresh]

Namibia's bowling is definitely better than their batting which is the positive here at least

[RowlattsFox]

Slow pitch and slow bowling makes it difficult to go big. Lots of swinging hard but ball going nowhere. Going to be tight, aim for 100.

Yeah think Namibia will struggle getting close to that (should anyway)

[StanSP]

More rain! 

 

From espncricinfo:

 

[Tommy Fresh]

Down to 10 overs? No more from Wiese then

[RowlattsFox]

Apart from light there is no reason why they can't just carry on playing with usual rules. 

[RowlattsFox]

Brook doesn't look the most powerful but can hit a ball. Lovely stuff from him 

[leicsmac]

Well, that total is certainly enough.

 

Now to hope for at least 5 Namibia overs and there's no washout in the Scotland-Oz game.

[Super_horns]

Decent total there.

Now got to get the wickets and hope the rain stays away .

[RonnieTodger]

Fair play to the ground staff. Looked impossible earlier on. 10 over game was a pipe dream. 

[trabuch]

I'm surprised Wiese hasn't gone in up the order. Watched him here at Sussex for a few seasons - absolutely slogging it in the T20.

[trabuch]

Ahh - there you go.

 

 

[Ian Nacho]

Never seen that before

Cheers Australia

Seems a bit odd that despite England finishing 2nd in their group, they were pre-allocated the B1 slot and so avoid playing the A1 team (India). I’m not complaining as they are a good team to avoid but surely it would make more sense to have B1 allocated to the team who actually finished 1st! I’d certainly much rather play USA and West Indies than India and Afghanistan.

[RowlattsFox]

You have to say fair play to Australia. Could've easily lost that with the wrong attitude. Unlucky Scotland, they've performed well at this tournament. 

[Super_horns]

Sounds like it was a very close game !

 

Aussies just getting over the line 

Good effort from Scotland.

better than we did and yet they're out and we're through.  Can't see us doing much unless we can turn things around.

The Oz game was the only real blip though and England dealt with Oman and Namibia better than Scotland did, that's why they went through.

 

Honestly I think this is a pretty open tournament given the results so far, and England have a good a shot as anyone bar the Aussies and possibly India.

Bit unusual to have international T20 games back to back like that isn't it? Assume its the same location 

 

They could easily lose all 3 but England have to be happy with them games.
