Collingwood is so under-rated in one dayers. Playing this beautifully at the moment. Bell is in danger territory though - on 42...

Haha, legend. I'm a bit worried that I think an Australian is ace...
EDIT: Peter Roebuck has England as favourites now.....whoa there sunbeam, we still need 150 with only one recognised batsman in the hut to come.

Yep, he's handy enough if Freddy and/or one of these two are still there

Wow, did you just actually just acknowledge that Dalrymple could possibly do something useful?
Very unlike you!

Heh, TBF that style did have a bit of a revival in the early 90's - and it's not anywhere near as bad as McGrath's early days bowl job.I know, it's very 1930's and he's obviously unshamed about it...or maybe he just thinks it looks good? *shrug*, he's a simple country lad(/36 year old)
Anyhow, Bell and Collingwood successfully milking the slow bowlers up to this stage. And Bell gets his 50 now, too.

He actually surprised me the other day with his little not out innings and his throwing arm has strengthened a lot, and his bowling hasn't been TOO bad in the last few games, so yeah, he's gone from average-to-****house allrounder to "handy"Wow, did you just actually just acknowledge that Dalrymple could possibly do something useful?

High praise indeed
Actually, there's been a couple of times recently when he's bashed a quick 30 or so in the last few overs, which surprised a lot of us.

Haha, I told you repeatedly he wasn't useless, but did you believe me? Noooo...

Sorry! I thought it was just a sweet little smile, in recognition of Blazing Jamie's recent efforts with the bat.Hey, haven't you been reading about the roll-eyes smiley?

A bit like Oram eh Prince?Haha, I told you repeatedly he wasn't useless, but did you believe me? Noooo...
(still don't rate Dalrymple too much though). And yes, I know you'll come back with "I never said Oram was useless, just that he wasn't a genuine international ODI allrounder or number 6 batsman"

Jeez, I have a feeling I made a stupid avatar bet revolving around England's performance in these finals - I hope it was about England winning the whole shebang and not just winning one of the matches.
