Here's my team:-

Hales
Kesweitter
Bairstow
Morgan
Butler
Wright
Swann
Broad
Bresnan
Briggs
Finn

Fat Samit is my role model but he's a crap spinner and only a steady batsman, better for 50 over or if you really need a 3rd spinner in a test match. Dembach seems to get smacked all over the place so just get big Bres to bowl yorkers. Play 2 proper spinners and get Wright to bowl a few overs if you need him. Let Bairstow bat and let Wright do the job he did in the 2010 t20 wc and biff at 6. Swann and Broad are better sloggers than Bres so let them go in 7/8.

Looks like Watson is a good bet for man of the tournament.

He said on Twitter he's been stopped from saying that! He didn't say it at all during his commentary on Gayle & Charles's innings yesterday, I'm devastated!

Easy win for you lot today. WI should have enough to win today, think Pakistan, Aussie will win tomorrow. That my weekend betting.

if finn hits the stumps it should be a no ball and free hit ... that will stop it

[procricket]

Broad should not be in the side he is a liability

Kieswetter didn't play either really!

I think we can beat the Lankies with early wickets, but we have to get out batting order right, the pitch at Kandy has been getting slower and lower while we've been here and CK seems to have lost the ability to rotate the strike (and keep wicket), teams haven't been getting bowled out at all so need our best 5 bowlers in and forget whether they can. At or not.

Luck to still be in the thing as we were dire against a very poor Windies side.

Better off dropping bed wetter, having Bairstow keep and fat sam come in. Doesnt matter who opens they wont do worse than kieswetter
