For a Joyous And Meaningful One Day International.

Hwo wrong was Lever about a three-page thread, tops?

Huh? Lever predicted a three page thread for the 20/20, not this one...

My bad.

Pretty uninteresting game bar 30 overs.

KP's innings was brilliantly constructed, Wobbles did what he does in ODI cricket, and Shah batted like a man who was deservedly a little bit p1ssed off.

At some point the bloke has got to get a dip up the order. Wasted, purely wasted at 6!

No comment on Bell in this game... usual usual from him. Although I'd rather have him up top in ODI cricket than Cook.

One further comment -
Bopara looked totally out of his depth with bat in hand and wasn't even asked to bowl!!
Does that mean he's in for his batting alone?
Ahead of Shah?

I'm not buying that. Out of his depth? He made a low score - as batsmen do from time to time.

Wasn't like he was flailing around like a guppy prior to holing out.

Should he be batting at four with Collingwood - with nearly 150 ODIs to his name - and the more experienced (and with a rare ODI hundred under his belt) Shah below him in the order? That's a point worth debating.

The rest is bollocks.
