Story ICC 2008: England A New Begining ODI Squad VS New Zealand Now Up Win VCash

[cricket22]

batting has been awful so far And my best batsman Patel is injured for 3 weeks.

bowling had been poor apart from Harris and occasionally Davies, Munday bowled about 40 overs in the first test with no wicket and a RR of about 4.5.

Used the McCullum pic with Gilchrist in because it was the only half decent with him in action.
