what odds would you have got on Collingwood and Tremlett taking all 10? in fact what odds would you have got on anything in that game? can't wait to see the highlights, they really should extend them or something. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You mean C4 actually make their highlights program decent? And not cram 100 overs into half an hour including interviews, analysis & ad breaks? Not likely tbh.

Interesting to read yet more comments today from an Australian squad member about an England player, Hussey about spotting weaknesses in Pieterson's technique. icon_rolleyes.gif

Maybe it's time they started looking at themselves and their team mates current inadequacies instead of the opposition.

once again, pciffffffffffffffffffb

what an absolutely stunning performance. twice he was called upon and twice he completely changed the flow of a game massively into englands favour. was slightly disappointed 400 wasnt made - was glad that ashraful went for the big hits because it got a bit exciting, but how demoralising to be going in and smashing it about yet STILL see the required run rate go up and up even in the early overs.

and what a game to go and watch. magnificent innings by strauss and tresco, magnificent bowling by tremlett on debut but fook me, paul collingwood was the absolute star of the show - everything went right.

and by that i mean:

1) england were sticking at around 180, the runs stopped flowing with those three wickets, collingwood comes in, bang bang baaaang, suddenly whoosh it's almost 250 and we're not even into the 40th over yet

2) england were getting bashed all over the place by ashraful especially. harmison conceeded 19 runs in one over. collingwood comes in, first two overs go for only 4 runs and then goes wicket after wicket...

Several of you have written in to point out that the biggest score in an ODI is 398 by Sri Lanka against Kenya in the 1995-96 World Cup. Unless Pietersen goes mad, then I suspect England are going to fall some way short of that.

he clearly underestimated the power of the collingwood

I still stand by what I said, we didn't get 400 because Collingwood and Strauss decided to stick with singles too often, and pc started slowly too, but yes pcifb however kpifffffffffffffffffffffffffffb.

sebs beat me home icon_frown.gif

Collingwood batted sensationally today, and totally selflessly throughout - always running for Strauss without thought for his own century, which is what makes him such a great figure in the team.

For me though Ashraful's innings made the day. There was no way they were ever gonna get the runs and though it would have been great for Tremlett to get the hat-trick, the way the little man set about the bowling defied belief. I was gutted when he was out and he got the biggest ovation of the day as he trooped off.

You can score at 6 or 7 an over quite comfortably without hitting boundaries - especially when you're as rapid between the wickets as Collingwood is - so there's no reason why Collingwood can't bat higher up the order than 6 or 7 really

I know he can, but Pietersen can too, and do it better imo, pc and as should've just slogged with 4 overs left if they'd have lost their wicket then and Pietersen had come in then I've no doubt we'd have done it.

Well I saw it up until Vaughan got out then I passed out. However looking at the result it looks like an awesome result. The second highest ODI score ever (icon14.gif to Collingwood/Strauss) plus what looked like a FB innings from Ashraful. That guy looks like a future ODI match winner.
