Didn?t start well losing the leading run scorer of the competition Solanki for 0. Vaughan and Trescothick put on 38 before Gillespie bowled Trescothick. Batty went for one been bowled by Warne with a flipper. Flintoff hung around with Vaughan before been LBW to Clarke. 4/78. With the introduction of Bichel it was a great move taking Clarke for 9 and then the big wicket of Vaughan for 60. 6/121. The tail had some resistance but Gillespe cleaned them up. Winning in a thriller by 14 runs.

Bowling is so easy in the game.......most of the time.

My best results are always against Bangladesh though.

I bowled them out for 18 and the next game I noticed that they beat India by scoring 301 and get India out for 217.

The coach must have geed them up some what.
