Country:  | We made that match much harder than it should have been...Our batting order is a mess, with Pietersen injured and now Vaughan missing Friday's game, Flintoff needs to bat higher, alogn with probably Dalrymple. Its all very well having Bell, Strauss and Collingwood but they bat too slow to fill the whole top/middle order...Here's how id have it...
Strauss
Bell
Bopara (if he plays on Friday)
Flintoff
Dalrymple
Joyce
Collingwood
Nixon
Lewis
Panesar
Anderson
It doesnt really matter though to be honest, because we'll lose...

Country: | No surprise with the result to be honest but without Pieterson and Vaughan it was never really going to be a contest. Aussie's won by 4 wickets.

Country: | Although it was looking a bit bleak for us when we were 4/48. It was a a struggle, but we got there in the end. I think it was a wake up call for the Aussies, we musn't underestimate the Poms, they almost had us.
Beach Cricket starts today! YES!

Country: | Actually turned into one of the more interesting games so far. At one stage I honestly thought we were going to lose. Would have made me look like a nob for calling England lame..

Country: | Kiwi's nearly had you yesterday, would have done comfortably if they'd taken their chances, and if they had 5 frontline bowlers...

Country: | Yeah at least we came home with some pride. Besides the side that beat you 3 times in a row wasn't the full strength side with KP, Vaughan and perhaps Trescothick not playing...
