England look safe now.





Yeah, England just haven't been able to replace a #decent-pace-bowler-and-shit-batsman. That's why they're not the best team in the world right now.

Flintoss was shit. Boucher wasn't great but he was usually good for a 30 not out in the days when SA had no middle order. Can't remember much of his wicket-keeping; a WK has to be exceptionally good to get my attention. All my focus is always on the bowling and batting.

Boucher caught a lot of erm balls for SA which is all you can really ask from a wicketkeeper. Oh and the constant geeing up of the bowlers. And yes, Flintoff as a batsman was fairly awful. Very good as a bowler tbf. Can't say he is particularly missed though, it's true.

Bopara gets his 50.

126-3, Hilfy gets Cook for 58.

Ah, yes, and a fine WUM as most wicky's are.

England win by seven wickets (D/L).

4-0 in the series.

Aussies.

Stick to rugby.

Who needs to sledge a middle to lower order Zimbabwean batsman?

That's Tatenda Taibu, infamous midget who has just retired from cricket to become a preacher. Boucher definitely picks his targets. Still, sad for him.

Everyones favourite Australian and honourary Indian Brett Lee has retired from International cricket

He was only a wicket behind McGraths ODI record for Australia so surprised he doesnt go on for one more series.

What a player though

That spell at Trent Bridge '05 (second innings).

Wouldn't be surprised if India got him for a minor coaching role.

He'll also stay on for IPL cricket and earn some money.

Good bowler on his day. It was all about pace with him - didn't rely on accuracy like McGrath.
