Though West Indies played as if they had a flight to catch but one should give credit to English bowling unit that came good today.
This clearly showed why England should qualify for Quarter finals. They have the fightback spirit, to back from dead and fight till the end. Something about their resolve reminds of 92' Pakistan. They have let games off also which should remain a concern for them. Even though they played with an odd combination of bowlers but against more disciplined batting sides like of Ravi Bopara can leak runs easily. Shahzad or Anderson need to part of this team if they get into trouble. Tredwell bowled brilliantly and secured his spot for the future games.
This game has now opened up the Group and I feel England will now qualify and I would not be surprised if we see Australia taking on England. From the resolve they have shown I feel any team facing them should be wary of this side ability to fight hard.
Strauss and Flower make a great combination and with Mushtaq helping as spin coach they do have the experience and knowledge to figure out their oppositions. They were bold in their team choice today and left out the likes of Collingwood. Such decisions can only be taken by a side which has internal harmony and professionalism.
well done England.... lets see if WI and Bangladesh can spoil your dreams in future games...
