ochuckles (U11047275) posted May 20, 2008 rob when I meant bowlers I meant really good. Mills is usually really good in ODI's, not sure why. Oram is just as niggardly as in tests and Patel I rate higher than Swann. And NZ's tail enders can all clear the boundary (Martin won't be playing). If the ball swings the English attack will edge it especially if Jimmy A brings his A game. If he brings his other one...

ochuckles (U11047275) posted May 20, 2008 Robs how about this, if the games are low scoring I favor England if they are high scoring I favor NZ.
