Never thought it would be as straightforward as this tbh ... expected us to be chasing 150 at least.Er just went to make the kids breakfast and we needed 49 now we need 18. WTF?

KP. Any spinner worth his salt got something in this match, wheras playing an innings like pietersen's just wasn't on.

42* off 28 balls may have just clinched it, I suspect.

Inclined to agree. Not just how many he scored but how he scored them too.
Two thoughts:
1) We must always play Bresnan; did almost literally nothing but...
2) Two test series suck arse. How good would a decider be now?

Routine in the end, shame there isn't a 3rd test now.
All we needed was Timmy to win a match. Still number 1, HCSI.

Pietersen will take all the plaudits and rightly so but Cook the real batting hero for me. Set up both innings. Generally its upto Cook and Trott to set up England these days. If they fail, normally England fail.

Strauss is safe for the time being as he's only the fourth or fifth worst batsmen in the top six. Until we get an established #6 and/or Bell recovers from his slump/continues with his reversion to the mean I think he's good.
It's still a legitimate question though and the circling of the wagons from Team England ("How dare the press entertain the thought of dropping Sir Andrew?! He plays like the bastard offspring of Jardine & Hobbs!!") after four straight defeats (all due to batting, pretty much) has been slightly unedifying.
