Wow, just wow!

I didn't really care who won, that was just entertaining cricket all round.

after 15 overs both teams were on an indenticle score for the same amount of wickets!

And then that final over, and what the hell was that throw!

Like I said. Wow!

I didn't see it, but will watch the match next weekend. Keep in mind that the 'Superstars' were missing their two best players.

Well this game is even worse than last nights one in terms of quality so far!?!?!

The number of dropped catches is insane!

:(

Why did KP give himself a 4th over at the expense of Sidebottom, who is our best bowler?

Is Sidebottom injured?

I think it's because the pitch was conducive to spin. At least he's admitted that he's not good enough to be a 2nd spinner. So Swanny in for the big game; who's going to get left out?

Luke Wright.

If he's not bowling and he's batting at #7, what's his role in the team?

Also, regarding the match, I assume he was just testing things out and wasn't as bothered about winning it. Which is why he bowled Anderson more than Sidebottom despite knowing Sid would do a better job.

I think he was giving Anderson a chance to show what he can/can't do. I'm not sure I'd pick him, but yeah Wright seems a bit of a loose end in the lineup...

Oh My God. Middlesex blew that big time!

I guess that's what nerves does to you.

Oh Dear!

Oh dear oh dear

The batsmen couldn't do it, can the bowlers? It's going to be very hard!

I guess not

Completely out played and out classed. Easiest $16.5M ever earned...

That was woeful. As they said after the game, the England team were so keen to stress that they weren't in it for the money, that they convinced themselves and as such didn't give a shit about the game. So little effort all around.

Just shocking.
