Crap format, crap tournament 
That said, I still hope India wins it
They destroyed Sri Lanka today, with Irfan Pathan taking a 5-for

.... and you'll be watching it.
I might watch India's matches. Other than that I'm not too bothered.

Looking forward to it but not a cat in hell's chance of England winning it again with no KP and it being in the sub-continent but let's see.

Ajantha Mentis picking up the mystery spin where he left off. His performance today against Zimbabwe (6/8 off four overs) leaves him with a T20I career average of 9.84!

First ball and it's a wicket.

IMO yes hes exactly one of those, he hardly gets any turn on the ball yet he baffles batters. I havent a clue what he does to get the wickets he does but he does it over and over again.

Shapoor Zadran giving it to India! 22 for 2 after 4.1.
India moved on to 68-2 after 10.
Yuvraj out, 68-3.
That’s it, a six and India 159-5.

If Afghanistan didn't drop so many catches they might have been in with a shout.

I don't quite agree with this. He doesn't get massive turn like someone like Swann or Ajmal can, but there is deviation on the bounce. The trick is that he bowls top-spinners, back-spinners, off-spinners, leg breaks, googlies, flippers and the carrom ball and that they are bowled at a good pace for spinner (55-60 mph) which makes the slight deviations more problematic and makes the ball come onto the bat that little bit quicker. It's not quite Murali-style googlies turning a mile the other way though!
edit to avoid double post/ Centurion - do you know why P Kumar is not playing for India? They have L Balaji as a second (third?) seamer, but Praveen Kumar seemed the obvious choice due to his control. I've seen Balaji play in the IPL but never really rated him - he may be a little quicker but his control is noway near as good.

Taylor getting in on the action now. Very expensive last few overs for Bangladesh!

McCullum caught out on the last ball for 123, highest T20 international score. Magnificent batting!
191 for 3 by NZ.
