Why are England useless in ODIs?
For the same reason they are useless in tests I guess. None of their batsmen have any form or are much good apart from Flintoff maybe and they have an average bowling attack. Collingwood has been poor since his 200.

Healy! Worst guy. "All I know is the rule is different, if it hits the top of a fence it's four so hitting a rope on the full must be six"

Shocking.

Pity they didn't do away with these excessively long tournaments 12 months sooner. What a waste if time they are! Not Aus' fault that England are so brainless, but really, what is the point? 146 for 9 ffs .....

Just looked at cricinfo's ballbyball commentary - ugh. Lee's face must have been a picture when Loye swept him on one knee for 6, but apart from that it's just horrible. Another idiotic runout. Another massive contribution from Collingwood. Joyce palpably out of his depth.
Can Stauss consider himself unlucky to fall to a catch like that? Poor sod is having a bit of a run, isn't he.

So how long do we reckon it'll take Aus to knock off the runs. I reckon they'll try for 20 overs if they get a start.

Don't know about that. I'm sure most Aussie fans are loving seeing their team give other teams a hiding. I know I like the All Blacks doing that. Still a fair bit of interest in who will join them in the final, despite neither of them being worthy.

I know Lou Vincent scored 100* today but that's about all he has done this summer, his form has been very poor. Craig Cumming on the other hand has been batting very well, Scott Styris won't be joining the Black Caps as expected due to a calf strain.

I think I would prefer Vincent to open over Cumming in ODIs in Australia. He's suited to Australian pitches having grown up on them and is a more explosive player. Cumming's batting just seems a bit, I don't know, blah (can't think of a better word) to me. Having Vincent opening means McCullum can go back down the order and you would be replacing him with a similar type player to get the innings off to a flyer. Having said that, it is a bit of a shame we have to resort to bring back guys like Vincent and McMillan really. Means others haven't been taking their opportunities.
