"Dire" doesnt come close to describing England's first half performance. Hang on, I thought they were rerunning the Andora match from Wednesday night. My mistake.

If Michael Vaughan has to captain the side can he at least bat in a position suitable to his ODI batting ability - i.e. just in front of Panesar. Ditto for Bell the snail (great test potential but complete waste of time in ODI's).

Open with Pietersen? May as well - he's normally batting within the first 4-5 overs anyway when the ball is still swinging, and it might actually put the opposition on the back foot with the field in during the PP's.

All I can say is thank God for Paul Collingwood.
