Swann, the stand out bowler. Would love to see him grow into one of the most effective ODI spin bowlers!

Doesn't say much for our domestic one day stocks when Dernbach has been the best quick in the CB40 by a mile.

Come on, that last shot was a ****ing joke. Two feet off the ground, arms everywhere. The fact that he somehow edged it down to third man for 4 doesn't make it effective, it makes Dhoni a ****ing jammy bastard.

Yep, no batsman ever has scored a run off edges in one day cricket.

chap's got 6000 runs at 50. your bitterness is obvious and it adds to the ebauty of the knock.

One of the most effective ODI bowlers of all time, I mean. You don't think he can? :p

Nah, won't have a long enough career to be talked up as an ATG, though I don't think his final figures will be a million miles away from Saqlain's.

Beautiful backdrop, one of the lowest annual rainfalls in the UK and good passionate support. Yea horrible place to play cricket.

Can England finally jettison Fatel and Dernbach now? It's worrying when Bopara isn't the biggest waste of space in the side.

I've got to admit Dernbach impressed me in his his first few matches, bowled well at the death and not too bad up front but he's gone to **** in these last couple of games. To me it appears he doesn't handle the pressure very well and loses the plot.

Lots of things you could criticise England for during that innings but Swann only bowling 9 overs was nothing short of ridiculous. If Patel and Bopara are going to get through more than ten between them in the middle overs then it should just mean that Dirtbag bowls less overs up front. The proper bowlers in the side should not be robbed of overs, especially if they happen to take 3/34 off 9 and the opposition cracks 300 FFS.

I said in less than 50 words. :p

Patel getting an 8th when he'd given away 5.5 an over for his first 7 was stupid.

Seriously these DL targets have been incredulous this series. 295 off 47 overs...probably lost a powerplay over as well

Loss of a PP over may not be a bad thing though, as we're usually disastrous in the final PP session.

Patel needs to score a fair few to make up for his efforts with the ball and in the field, doesn't he.

Three overs of dicking around lost. Look at CB40 scores - they're never far off 50-over scores.

More classic Cardiff weather...
