What shall we do with Vaughan? We need him for his captaincy, but he's no great shakes as an ODI player, especially an opener. No doubt he'll pick up an injury too, which will leave Flintoff burdened with the captaincy again.
Good to see Dalrymple contribute and stabilise the innings, and nice of Mahmood to thrash a few at the end!
It was quite amusing to watch Pietesersen come down the wicket to the Bermudan 20 stone bowler, and then get stumped!!!

Ireland are going a little slowly against SA. A shame, as I would have liked to see them turn over that score.
Sri Lanaka 286/7 after 50, and I don't think Scotland will get near that. You never know though...
Hmm, all typed at the same time 'ey? Well, what I can say about the captaincy? We beat Aussies and NZ without Vaughan, but with Bermuda 32-5 (Yes, Mahmood with a long hop, gone for 4) All I can say is, he proved himself. I think Strauss was a better captain than Freddie, but the selecters gone with him and all I can say is good luck. Joyce should be rested for the aussies clash, give Strauss a chance to show. Maybe a good 40-60 runs for him will put his confidence up.

Woah, Lewis just made it 32-6, bowled Mukedden after he leaves it and misjudges the bounce. Turning embaressing for Bermuda, will they even make 50 runs?
