Well I'm sorry but I've had about enough of defending England, I'm normally defencive about England but i'm sorry but some of there batsmen are a joke. Why did we wait so long to take the batting power play ? take it when ravi and kp are going well.

Ravis shot was shocking especially as kp had just been dismissed, another decent start but not good enough to go on.

Kp pretty unlucky i have to say.

Shah quite frankly way out of his depth at number 3 or 4 simply not good enough and is restricted with not enough shots in the locker.

Flintoff simply should be batting at number 8 and no higher ? sorry fred I've had enough now no matter how highly i rate you, you simply cant get a run or even look like getting a run.

Strauss shocking shot to a gentle medium pacer

Colly another good knock and he looked like he was in control

Prior should simply be higher in the order and another decent knock and kept things simple

Why cant they smack the powder puff medium pacers around ? and how do they let a spinner who is not turning the ball dictate not to mention Chris Gayle's bowling. They move away to make room both sides of the wicket and look like they ain't got a clue ? stand still move forward and smack it straight down the ground and use your feet to the spinners and don't let them settle.

Any thoughts out there !

Kp was really unlucky. I can understand why Ravi played the shot as he'd hit 2 sixes with it but maybe it wasn't the right time to play it, hopefully he'll be a bit more careful next time. I would put Prior in at 4 Colly 5 and whoever at 6 before Dimi at 7. Shah just looks to nervous at the moment.

We have one player lower down the order who can whack it out of any ground in the world and he dont even get a bat !

I was just going to say about dimi they should have brought him up because that would have worked or not worked and eitehr way they wouldnt have lost much if it didnt work
