over ODI. On each occasion the top scorer was an Irishman. Ed Joyce
made 107 at Sydney in January 2007, while Eoin Morgan?s 58 was the
best at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. ...

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:20:45 +0100
Two more failures for Shah and Bopara... Bopara runs out Denly . Both
Shah and Bopara sloppy in the field.
Of those who have played a fair bit and were available for this series,
the five England leading international limited overs players by average
are:
Bell 35
Collingwood 34
Strauss 31

What is so pathetic about the Poms in the ODI's
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:07:28 +1000
Is that I dont rate this Australian side. To me the Indians and Africans are
way ahead.
Anyway the result in the 6th ODI has all of a sudden made the last ODI very
important.
The Poms dont want a white wash and the Australias are just as desperate to
claim a white wash

Taken from cricinfo:
"England's captain now occupies decidedly rarefied air. Among batsmen
who have led their country in upwards of 15 Tests, only five - Don
Bradman, Jayawardene, Sobers, Graham Gooch and Lara - have averaged
more than Strauss's 56.14. That he relishes the responsibility is
encapsulated still b ...

Made me laugh

Somebody emailed to the Guardian's coverage:
When England travel to SA for the Champions Trophy, where will the
