England so far so good !

115/0 after 24 overs

Knight : 57
Trescothick : 50

All they need now is to keep wickets in hand till 35 overs atleast and they are pretty much right on target !

Asif_k · January 11, 2003, 6:18am

England 211/5 in 43 overs

Hogg 3 for 55 in 9 overs

yep, Had england not shown this kind of stupidity they would have wrapped up the game. They had an opening stand of about 165 then collapsed.

Nakhrey_Wali · January 11, 2003, 4:14pm

How can england lose this match ?

They were v well positioned for about 70% of their batting.
I guess they somehow managed to axe their own feet. Well played Aussis :k:

England have always been a team who can put up the odd good performance, but they seem rather hopeless at the death.

I think it's probably time they let Vaughan have a bit of a bat in the ODI format, since he's now been newly included for the WC. Owais Shah deserved the spot after his ton against the Bradman XI, but Vaughan still needs to get some matches under him, as he's lacking exposure with the white ball compared to the other senior bats.

oh come on yaar, Vaughn is a sure shot slection in WC matches for England. The reason he didnt play yesterday is that he had shoulder injury and knee injury.
