England exploit SA failings 11:40am on 30 Aug 2008 I am one who has not been overly impressed with Bell's scoring recently...

...but I think if anyone is critical in any way of Bell's last innings then they must be barking mad. It was a masterful innings of pure beauty. Watching it, I was as surprised and as gleeful as a female monkey in a cage full of straight bananas.
England exploit SA failings 10:52am on 30 Aug 2008 5-0 would be a long-term boost of confidence to this impressively growing team.

Keep up the great work lads...
Can sorry South Africa fight back? 7:04pm on 27 Aug 2008 To clarify the cycling link:

Much the same as a cyclist's wheel goes around and around, as does the Olympics and English cricket on a regular basis, you will find Pietersen, without his bike, at the helm of the circle following proceedings.

I hope that clarifies matters for you.
Can sorry South Africa fight back? 10:53am on 27 Aug 2008 I understood Pietersen told Smith, when caught behind, "Get out of here!" which surely is more a reference to the gold medal won by the British Olympic Maze Escape team.

Nothing to do with cycling at all, as bikes are not allowed in "Maze Escaping."
Can sorry South Africa fight back? 09:50am on 27 Aug 2008 The problem with last night's result is that we might be falsely lured into believing we have a great team put together.

We've made good progress, but the team hasn't been tested much for stress fractures to show.

Anderson's looking very poor. Geeze, if you can't get your game up in a confident, winning team then... adios.

Prior's keeping was first rate, but was very lucky with his batting. But fortune favours the brave.

Bell can't get the singles required and places pressure on himself and the incoming batsmen.

Broad was an absolute star. What a diamond he will develop into. Play him, and play him often. He'll polish into a really sparkling gem.

The Bopara's, Patel's, Shah's and Wright's are still unknown quantities/qualities. And even Collingwood's return is for that matter. Maybe even Harmy, too.

Great result. Great to watch. It felt great! Guess we'll find out if they really are great...
Pietersen has the midas touch - for now 12:53pm on 26 Aug 2008 That doesn't excuse Bell for not taking more singles.

20/20 will change one-day game-play--and having a pedestrian opener not only adds pressure to the following batsmen, but will simply make us "not good enough" to compete against the best.
