England
by DON on Apr 18, 2007 12:16 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

England lost because of out of form Vaughan and Flintoff, two of thier ey players. Also, bowling lacked teeth, and feilding was done obligatory. The couldnt have succeded in going more far...it was fair enough result.

1) England score was 115 for 3 in 27 overs against South Africa.Then they collapsed within 7 overs.

2) England was 169 in 29 overs against Australia. Then they reached 247 in 50 overs.Only 78 runs in last 21 overs!! and an artificial collapse. Here we can SMELL A BRIBE !! Am i right?

England never showed desire to win. The key players Trescothik, Simon Jones, Ashley Giles were not in the team. What heppened to them? Harmisson too is not there after he retired.
Bowlers like Sajid Mahmood, panesar are pathetic.

True, Infact Flintoff was a total failure. ENG Need / expect a lot from Flinty. Anyway, as usual, 4 very best teams are in SEMIs
