Decent start to the super over for the US.
Pakistan need 20 from 6 balls to win!
3 wides! Awful bowling!

Are Pakistan trying to lose this, what a shocker of a bowling super over.
Absolutely dreadful bowling and fielding. USA deserve to win this. Pakistan have been well embarrassing stuff this.
6 needed to draw from the last ball!

Wow. What a result!
Well done USA!
USA win. Dreadful bowling in the super over by USA, but Pakistan have been absolutely awful, and deserved nothing.

Wow. Amazing result for USA. Beat Ireland and they will most likely qualify from the group.
U-S-A! U-S-A!

Amazing result. But it could be good for cricket, and inspire young American kids to take up the game.
Amir not sure what he was doing bowling all them wides, crazy scenes, and very enjoyable to watch.

Amir is normally such a good bowler.
What was he playing at?
He has been banned for betting offences. I am.sure that he didn't throw the game, but it was so bad...
Dude spent three months in jail for spot fixing. You would hope that he's learnt his lesson!
I wouldn't hold your breath! The whole of this American cricket team are ex-pats, and whilst there's a few kids that were born and brought up in the US knocking around the squad......they are all kids of ex-pats!
ESPN had the match buried on their website as about headline #10 from today. And I couldn't find any mention of it at all on CBS Sports!

Can you imagine how long a Test match would take in the US?
I know they already lose a lot of overs during the day and there are loads of drinks breaks, but with all of the adverts, most Tests would take a month or two to complete!

Well exactly. Which is why I suggested that I am sure that he didn't throw the game.
But.... it was so bad for a quality bowler.

SA v Netherlands is turning into an interesting chase. Netherlands only managed 103 in their innings, but SA are bringing out their classic choke, falling to 3-3...

SA 12-4 off 5 overs.
AUS asked to bat first by England.

How idiotic to open the bowling with Jacks. Hope they don't regret it.

From the updates I'm seeing glad I've stuck with SA v NED... SA 55-4, need 49 from 45.

England coming back into it, but has the damage already been done?

What the hell is the plan with Jordan? This is bloody rubbish.
Both bowling too fast, didn't they effing realise they were playing at the Kensington Oval. Buttler really shouldn't be captaining opening and wicket keeper in 20 20 matches.

Not sure we have a hope to get over 200 against the Australian attack.
Hope I am very wrong

England need 202 to win.
Still struggling to understand why Jacks bowled that second over, and why Topley wasn’t given the nod. Especially with the Aussies having a couple of left handers up the top end of the order. Wood should of gone round the wicket, and strangled them for room. Broad had loads of success around the wicket.
Hoping Buttler and Salt can get us of the a flyer.

Outplayed and tactically naive. We are playing too many batsmen who are out of form and a bowling attack thats is not really suited to the Kensington Oval.

Pathetic in the end, never in it.
Oh boy do we miss Morgan.
Buttler is not captain material. Just let him bat.
Hard to take being totally outplayed by Australia.

Poor performance in the end with the bat. We got off to a good start and laid the foundations, but just couldn’t keep it going. Australia were smarter with their bowling, and the fielding positioning was far better than us.
A very disappointing performance.
