Take that you whinging poms. You were all gung ho about England beating India in the ODIS...forgetting that you had a 2 game advantage and still had to go to the last game at Lords to win the series... Furthermore, I heard the sky comperes laughing about kiwis batting only because it was against Yuvraj....before the match Mascerenas got the stick too....how the mighty have fallen.... India atleast has an excuse that the team has to undergo rebuilding again... what's yours?????

I'm sorry, but i think it's time that our regular key players, sat back and had a break. They need the rest, they looked tired, England have had a busy schedule with Test Matches & ODI's since winning the Ashes. No other country has played as many games as England. Also............... I think we need to have a look at the way the other teams play in the ODI's, like Sri Lanka & Australia. The openers attack nearly every ball, where as England blocks or leaves it. After the last to games against South Africa & New Zealand, we need to kill the game after getting such a good start. Why can't we kill the game off?

After watching England crash and burn again it's got me thinkin "are we actually any good at cricket" We invented 20-20 and are county 20-20 is amazing. Why don't England drop a couple of ther under achievers and see wat they do. It might just buck there ideas up. What was Pieterson doing, the run outs were poor, shah was unlucky, but where have the sixes gone. Why can't our tail enders hit sixes like every other team. I say drop the household names and bring in sum off the brilliant cricketers we have in the county championship(or do there names not fit as they are no known) Look at Steve Mclaren(he has got balls) dropped Beckham for poor displays and he came back evan stronger and better. Do the same in cricket it might give them the shock they need to get there bums in gear. All of Englands games in 20-20 so far have been embarrissing. Top players are getting to comfortable.
