Make mine a large one...It seems that this was the cry of England's beleaguered bowlers after Friday's defeat against NZ. Players out on the razz, getting fined and rumours that Freddie got drunk and capsized a boat...good lads. In a way it's a shame they can't put as much vigour into playing cricket. I like a drink and a night out as much as the next man and cricketer's come from a long line of party animals...it's in the blood. But don't get caught! And it would have been fine if they had just thrashed Oz or even NZ...but after a losing match far better to sit in the corner with a beer and lick those wounds!
So today, hangovers will have resolved, players rested, time to take on the minnows. But wait, what happened yesterday? Pakistan outclassed by Ireland. India mauled by Bangladesh. Its worrying but Ireland could actually win the World Cup. What happens then? Give them Test Status?
England need to attack hard today and show their true spirit. To play defensively will be a mistake because Canada will be spurred on by what happened yesterday and will look to dump our drunken team overboard.

If Canada can score 220 runs against us, what on earth will Aus and SA get??
Dreadful game. Absolutely dreadful.
