England Vs Kenya

Ok. Fair enough. "A professional win" according to Virgil. I wouldn't exactly agree but there were a few moments of a reasonable clinical performance that made me feel like we could progress further. However, the key to that progression will be whether we can find the gumption to perform against the rest of the best.

Highlights:

• Mahmood back in the side and bowling a few straight ones.
• Jimmy Boy sober enough to get some nice early movement - looked worn out after 6 overs though.
• Pretty good fielding and getting a few run outs
• Flintoff's inswinging Yorker to their skipper
• Ed Joyce's batting
• Figjam's clinical 'I'm gonna be here at the end and get the winning runs' batting
• The look on Virgil's face when he was caught at Backward Point

Lowlights:

• Failure to kill them off when they were 90 odd for 5
• Ed Joyce's drop

All in all pretty good. Might even peak at the right moment. They really need to destroy Ireland later this week...I mean really destroy them. That will make the likes of NZ and SA sit up and pay attention. One convincing win will make these lads buzz. A sad testament to their confidence levels I know, but true nevertheless.
