World Cup Warm Up #1

Good performance all round really. Real shame about the opposition but it provides a decent confidence-boosting opportunity. Lewis was the obvious star with the ball but all the bowlers made excellent contributions. Freddie looked like his rhythm was spot on; Mahmood was a little wayward but once he gets used to the conditions I think he will do really well, although he won't be the 1st choice over Anderson or Lewis. And Anderson was even in the catches today.

The real test of our mettle will be on Friday against the Aussies who will still be smarting after their brief tour of NZ and recent destruction by England. Still, if we play like we did today we should roll them over easily.

England expects...

"Mahmood was a little wayward" -- oh surely not!

A welcome return to blogging, tho.
