I think it'll be Bresnan who won't make it in the starting XI, we've got medium pacers in Collingwood, Bopara and Trott and the extra spain always comes in handy in the sub-continent.

Yeah i think Bresnan will go, Yardy isn't the worst bowler, his economy rate is decent, not a mug with the bat. And as you said, Colly,Trott,Ravi all provide seam options.

I can't see England going in without 3 frontline seamers.  Colly can go do the same holding role that Yardy does (and probably turns it more).  Bresnan will definitely play.

My pick is Sri Lanka to win it!

Broad is looking very good - although the Pakistani's are looking decidedly average.

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

So people will fork out for the slightly different kit

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

There are sponsoring restrictions at the World Cup, hence the slightly modified kits.

Not in Aus it isn't. I was just following on cricinfo mate.

Back to back 5 for's for Broad and a Pietersen 50 opening. Not bad news for the English really considering the lead up!
