Australia V England - 1st Final Match

Oooh...that's gonna hurt!

Paul Collingwood has risen to hero status and should have his MBE upgraded to OBE (at least). Mind you Shane Warne might have a word or two to say about that!

Good lads. Held their nerve. The game was won in the field. 170 for 1 and all out for 252. Good fightback. And then batting...well at 15 for 3 I was thinking "Bugger me! What is the matter with these fools!" But Belly & PC did well and Freddie looked good. 1-0 up. Boy, I need to sit down. Can't believe it. The Aussies looked pretty ordinary and it is not often they get bowled out in an ODI. It's not often we bowl them out in Test matches.

Ricky Ponting: You smug idiot. Pride always comes before a fall (or is it a fool?).

Further to the Aussie ODI Record:

Played 644
Won 395
Lost 223

Bowled out: Only 110 times! Only only 6 times in their last 30 matches. Suck on that Ponting.

Who do we drop to let Pietersen back in for the World Cup? Joyce or Strauss?

I have to say, I am for sending Strauss on holiday. He needs a rest.

Strauss has sit down for a while. But personally I don't think Virgil will be fit enough to play. In which case only Mal Loye will lose out. Joyce should open with KP and Bell at 3.
