You could probably pick players out of Birmingham league who are fitter and would be more successful than Patel

Kies and Buttler were magnificent and we can win the World cup if we play like this. Also brilliant bowling from Dernbach, Bres and Swann. Fielding back up at a high level again.

A very cold evening at Edgbaston. When we got there I thought this was going to be another unlucky washed out match for WCCC but in the end 11/11was played. It was a measured start by England going at about 9 an over till Buttler decided to take on Parnell. That was a superb interlude which as it happened was the match difference. Never heard of this fellow before but he does hit the ball. Talking of players I have not heard of Briggs was another surprise. I was well impressed by his bowling spell. Enjoyed the sheer cass of Amla that stood head and beard above everything else.  Looking forward to start f the WC twenty20 next week now.

Was just about to post something very similar aftab235.  We were really p**ded off with the delay due to the weather but decided after the game we wouldn't have seen such a display had it been a full 20 over game.

Butler?  What a hero.

Really enjoyed the evening but how the devil could it get so damn cold?  I'm still trying to warm up.

The first Six of Buttler's epic over was probably the sweetest struck ball I've ever seen.

The over starts at about 2:15
