    Didn't mind too much getting some overs of Bopara and Root in, as otherwise if SA did manage to stay in we would have been stuck with them bowling the last ten overs which could have been catastrophic, but didn't like bowling them together, would have preferred rotating them alongside Anderson and Tredwell so we still had a threat at one end.

    Bopara I don't mind because he's a useful bowler. Root on the other hand is not a bowler and was expensive.

    The England Youtube channel has been posting some decent u20s clips recently. Heres 3 with our James in it, showcasing his ability and how well mannered he is!

    Bugger, Cook's gone. Now the swashbuckling strokemaker that is Jonathan Trott <sarcastic smiley> comes in.

    Trott gets too much flak, he has a better strike rate than bell, and his average is incredible.

    Agreed. You need a steady hand at 3 even in one dayers.

    Well he's made a decent start, let's hope he builds on it. Good to see them keeping on top of the run rate anyway.

    I'll be happy if Trott is there at the end on 50 or 60 not out because that means we would've won the game. There are plenty of other quick scorers in the team.

    Good feeling isn't it? I got hammered after I finished mine. I expect you to do the same.
