Quite a (nice) surprising win yesterday. I wouldn't have picked Jimmy, so shows what I know! A huge win, but KP let us down in the field at least twice out of his 3 run out chances. Ah well, a huge win and at least we can't get whitewashed now.

I'd go with the same side tomorrow. Sad to say for Bopara & Woakes, but meh for Patel & Wright.

I think you are being a bit harsh on KP there, he got to all three chances very quickly and was shying at one stump, not an easy skill. If he had taken more time to aim the batsman would have been in anyway.

Some fairly poor fielding from England there and we have 310 to get.
Need a good start.

Cook will probably get fined too because the innings over ran by about 10 mins.

England were as bad today as they were good on Monday.

Far too slow after a good start, it put too much pressure on those coming in.

I find ODI boring tests are the best.

This end of Englands innings is extremely painful to watch.

Not as painful as the beginning. There's just no flexibility in our batting lineup. If Kieswetter gets out, KP or Morgan should come in. If Cook gets out, bring in Trott. We're well off the ground average of 260 for the first innings!

Yeah agreed,  Cook and Trott batting together would more times than not, have a negative effect on the run rate. 

Wow, a boundary as I speak.  Its a veritable run fest.

At times we seem to be completley clueless in ODI's. It's painful to watch.

Can't believe it took till the second to last ball for some real aggression.  Swann showed up a lot of the line up in that one ball.

Not good enough, the balance is all wrong, once Cook and Trott get together it inevitably slows down and then we end up chasing the game just as the opposition brings on the spinners (who we have been shite against for years) and/or their best bowler.

Drop Trott, promote Morgan to 3,
