Second one day international

[glyn]

England have won! :icon_bigg

Made hard work of it though, needed a good innings from Flintoff. Got the winning run with one ball to spare!

Nixon did really well, rotating the strike and good running. Stayed in there for a partnership of around 60 - just a shame he didn't finish it.

Flintoff was magnificent, showed a lot of composure.

Finally a win. Shame about Vaughan though.

"The public out here take the view that this match was about two poor men fighting over a penny."

Ironic thing is whoever gets the penny then gets it stolen off them by the Aussies. Fcuking convicts :icon_roll :icon_lol:

The Aussies are very gracious when the attention isn't on them aren't they

Is there any side that will even give them a game during the world cup . The one day side is looking every bit as invincible as the test team:icon_conf

They are the favourites but I believe that on their day, any of the top 8 sides can beat each other.

I see SA as the biggest challengers, SL are up there too with the West Indies the dark horses. The other teams will have to improve quite a bit in the next few months though.

Its possible of course that they could have a bad day,but if the likes of England and the other pretenders are 40 odd for 3 then the Aussies seem to nail you. If the Aussies are 40 for 3 they have so many good players down the order that teams will probaly still truggle to restrict them to under 250.
