Haha, and you'd have to say SA have mucked this up massively too. Post ABdV the batsman has been the primary culprit in succumbing to what England have done best throughout the summer - pressure bowling.

I liked his comment about how batting was difficult out there 'although I managed to make it look easy'Swanneh: "it's just been nice to have played a game where no one has got a 100 against us"

You can say what you like about this English ODI side, but you can't deny we're good to watch.
We just don't do dull games...
Top, top, top of the group (!)

Yees. I still think Strauss was seriously lucky today - damned nearly lost with Broad well short of his full quota.Straussy. Broady
Anyway, time to enjoy this one.

No, we don't like to make things easy for us,at all. If this keep up I'll have gone grey by the end of it.

Yup, that's it. Carrying the tournament, us.
To paraphrase a purple faced denizen of hell: cricket; bloody hell.
Can't defend 327 against Ireland, bowl out SA for less than 171.
I thought that Strauss actually captained in the field pretty well this game. Starting with Yardy was worth a gamble, though he probably should've come off after his second over, and he rotated his bowler well throughout and was quite aggressive in his field settings.

I kept telling anyone that would listen, that we'd beat them, but nobody would have any of it.
That game was bigger than just one game. England will now probably finish at the top of their group, which means they'll have an easier time in the next round. They'll make it to the quarters! If they win the World Cup after playing so poorly, it'll come back to that game.
Hey Australia were awful at the beginning of the 1999 World Cup and they won. England can win this World Cup. Their chances have changed so much on account of this one game.

Would be funny if the only game we lost in the group was against Ireland

Really? Should have been Broad IMO.

Bowling KP and Yardy for so long at the end was criminal though.
