Not sure - but now with KP gone - that goal might be attainable.

It all now rests with Shah and Flintoff, on a slow pitch England should have batted second IMO, as you know what score is needed - and can pace he inings even in 20 overs.

6 overs left - 10 an over would be nice.

I think 10 an over is probably the minimum requirement to test the Aussies; anything less and it would only need 1 of their big guns up front to come off and its curtains. This would be a great time for Flintoff to stick it to his critics.

Why did he have any?, yes but I am not putting the X on with commenting on his innings thus far.

Why do we have this psychological block against the Aussies?
I know they're playing well, but we've helped them get us out cheaply.

Pietersen should have come in after the top 2 fell, and Prior - as NE says - is not an opener. Then again, he isn't a wicket keeper either but never mind.
If Flintoff bats well it will be vaguely miraculous. He should come in after Shah. EDIT: He was already out. But at least he got 30 odd.
Let's hope Kirtley can do well with the ball. Failing that, let's just send for the rest of the Sussex team and call them England.

I wonder how pleased Collingwood is with his decision to bat first.

Surrendered - that proves mikey's pessimism was fair comment.

Indeed; England have managed to bat themselves out of the match and possibly out of the tournament if things go badly wrong with the new ball. The only chance we have now is if Australia really, really lose their bottle. Unfortunately world champs don't do that very often.
