Spectacular by anyone's standards.

Shows how T20 can provide 'entertainment' but not necessarily good cricket. Putting aside duff lower order and quality spin the problem if you concede too many a wicket can set the dominoes tumbling quickly. Poor by anyone's standards, but a double wicket killed the game off.
Worst thing that can happen is some clown (Vaughan) will use this poor Indian winter to justify destroying the county game, when much of this team has plenty of 20/20 experience, even in India.

It's not a duff lower order that's what made it so bad, although as you say these things do happen in T20 cricket when you are chasing such a big score. Plunkett and Rashid at 9 and 10 are both very decent batsmen. You could argue Rashid is a better batsman than a bowler. Pretty much everytime I watch him bowl he bowls a pile of rubbish. He either bowls badly and gets wickets with full tosses and long hops or he bowls badly and gets smashed around.

That's the life of a leg spinner. I speak as one. Plunkett is all brawn and no brain.

I've been involved in worse/better. Captained a team who got 92 all out (I top scored with 39 btw). Oppo were 69-1 chasing. They then lost 8 wickets for two runs and lost!

Well, it was a duff performance by the lower order, the lesson of this whole tour is the need for remedial lessons in how to play in spin-friendly (or in this case flat) tracks.
As you say, it falls apart very quickly in 20/20. I've seen these matches when one side gets a big score then it goes horribly wrong in the opponent's innings. In 50/50 at least you get more cricket to watch, although they've become rather predictable. Time for two-innings 1 day cricket???

Even Essex surely wouldn't lose 8 wickets for 8 runs would they?
Cue somebody telling me we have or something similar!!
