Unconvincing is right. But for Collingwood, the overall score might have been more reachable against an Irish attack that was spirited, but little above mediocre in quality. But England's bowling was not much better; Flintoff got his wickets but went for over 5 runs an over, something unsual for him. Anderson was nothing special while Mahmood was his usual second rate. Unless England up their performance, I not only cannot see them beating any of the 4 major teams that they have to play, but even Bangladesh might give them a run for their money or more!
