Cricket (General)

Brilliant win for England.
To chase 196 in 20 overs is a fantastic achievement

I enjoyed the coverage on BBC, nice change from Sky. Fair play to Isa doing her presentation with no jacket on. She has a fine set of biceps

Excellent win and with so many first teamers missing.

Yep, YJB really got us off to a good start

Having listened to Michael Vaughan for a period of time for the first time, I'll not complain about Shane Warne and his bants again.

Yes, he was awful today.
Always looking to shoehorn some "bantz" in, and even at the end, he said "IS THERE A TWIST TO THIS GAME???" about 10 times.
Tries much too hard.

To be fair, the BBC’s target audience is not Sky subscribers, it’s to get more people watching cricket again. That can only be good for the game. The reality is Sky’s cricket audiences are pretty small.

Great having live cricket on terrestrial TV. Coverage adequate enough, commentators abysmal.

They'd be much better with the Sky commentary team. You'd learn far more from Hussain, Atherton, Holding etc.

If you are not a Sky subscriber you would never of heard them before so really makes no difference. Imagine the Daily Mail outrage if the BBC were paying Sky for the commentary team.

Not sure what they would they learn about T20 cricket from those 3 ? Did any of them ever play it ?

Warne of course has, was he on today ?

Keys and Knight did but they are both pretty average,

Very good win by England today. Pakistan again getting into a decent position but not driving home their advantage.

World Cup next year will be interesting if both these teams can kick on from here.

Moeen takes a wicket with his first ball!

[Steve Hunt]

On this day 40 years ago John Arlott completed his final Test match commentary.

"And after Trevor Bailey it'll be Christopher Martin-Jenkins"

The batsmans holding the bowlers willy

Getting a pounding from the Aussies at the moment and Warne just doesn’t stop talking. A double whammy

Pietersen is a peculiar annoyance, too.
