Symonds axed from Aussie squad, good old Andy blows it again, great player no discipline.

England's warm-up wins need to be put in the context of the opposition IMO, which wasn't exactly great on either night.

They're still no better than 5th or 6th best side in the competition I reckon, even with home advantage.

Personally I'd be going with:

Bopara, Wright, Pietersen, Shah, Collingwood, Foster, Rashid, Broad, Swann, Sidebottom, Anderson.

Good for the first 10 overs

absolutely shocking for the next 30

Stuart Broad 3 run outs missed and a dropped catch in the last over

all true - but i can't believe how slow we looked at getting to the stumps and backing up.

well played holland

Stuart Broad is absolutely gash!!

Anderson is the only decent bowler we have.

Hitting the wicket without the ball

Add that to his gash bowling performance in his other overs and i'd say he was our worse player.

Am i right in thinking that if he never threw that last ball, it would of gone into a super over ?
