Did you see the Irish lad from where mairead grew up? Out first non no ball of England's tournament!!

Lovely quote on the Guardian obo

"I think where Fletcher went wrong was poaching an Irishman from the Ireland team," says William Andrews. "If he'd taken one of their Australians we'd probably already have one hand on the World Cup."

Ah, have just realised that we are batting first. Will we ever learn!? At least we have Vaughn and Pietersen in, assuming one of them hasn't gone before I finish typing this!

[mockney piers]

Oh dear, Vaughn's gone :(

[CrystalClear]

yeah. great replacement for strauss!!

[Huguenot]

and it's all gone quiet over here....

[mockney piers]

That's because we're having a mare, pietersen, coligwood and flintoff gone in 2 overs

37th over: England 137-6 (Dalrymple 2, Nixon 2)
