England 266-7 50 overs

[Shaggy]

How he gets into the team on current form I'll never know.

And as for Bell, takes an absolute age to bed himself in to 20s/30s and then gets out.

And why Mal Loye was dropped in favour of what's currently on offer is a scandalous decision.

Just how turgid is this current lot, safe, steady & boring us on the way to a 250 is about the best I can describe them as,

The top 3 should all be binned. It won't happen, but they should.

Joyce has done the best of the three, but he doesn't convince me.

Vaughan has NEVER scored a one-day hundred! Not even when he was world no.1! What chance has he got now, bereft of form and confidence? It was a woeful shot this afternoon.

Bell is the biggest joker of the lot. I've never liked him and he's getting worse. 30 odd off 74 balls is no good to anybody. If he's gonna get just 30 odd, do it quickly. He never, EVER converts his starts (never scored a one-day ton either) and he scores at a snail's pace. The Aussies don't have anyone like him in the side - why should we?

Today was abysmal but for a brilliant last 10 overs. KP needs to start converting his 40s and 50s into huge scores, and Flintoff needs to sort his footwork out.

Those who continue to doubt Collingwood want their head looking at. He's our best player. Another tremendous knock today.

It's opening fast bowlers that are not as good, Freddy & Monty in the middle are decent, and we are rubbish at the death as well.

[lfc4ever]

Mahmood opening with a maiden?? K'nell, wonders never cease.

[Shaggy]

11-2! Run out. Brilliant from Mahmood.
