Name the England starting line-up for this weekends 3rd one day international against Zim, as a tie breaker I want you to name a song that should be played if Zim should actually win this match.

A song? The Hallelujah Chorus? How's about for England 'The Man don't give a ******' by the Super Furries as they don't really want to be there. Or, what about 'Goodness Gracious Me' by Peter Sellars. I know the song isn't really relevant in itself, but I could imagine Blowers saying that very line if Zimbabwe win.

Interestingly.. with 10 overs to go.. only Wharf has figures that really stand out:

Code:
Bowling                      O      M      R      W
Wharf                        6      1     10      0
Anderson                     8      0     34      0 (1nb, 3w)
Collingwood                  6      0     30      0
SP Jones                     6      1     24      1
Giles                        6.4    0     31      0 (1w)
Vaughan                      8      0     36      1 (1w)
Given that they are part timers... Collingwood and Vaughan look to be holding their own right now: not sure they would do so against better batsmen.. but it's all good experience and adds welcome flexibility in terms of ODI bowling options.

What happened in those final 9.2 overs?

Code:
Bowling                      O      M      R      W
Wharf                        8      1     30      1 (1w)
Anderson                    10      0     51      0 (1nb, 4w)
Collingwood                  6      0     30      0
SP Jones                     8      1     43      2 (2w)
Giles                       10      0     44      1 (1w)
Vaughan                      8      0     36      1 (1w)
Giles managed to contain the damage to 13 off 3.2 overs but other than that England leaked a shocking 20 runs off 2 overs from Wharf... 16 off 2 overs from Anderson... and 19 off 2 overs from Jones... predominantly to the following world renowned batsmen:

Code:
H Masakadza                              b Giles               21  24   2  0
*+T Taibu             c Anderson         b SP Jones            24  18   2  0
P Utseya              not out                                   4   1   1  0
By my reckoning England conceded 45 off 6 overs from the seamers: thank god we weren't bowling to Symonds and Gilchrist!
