    Stanford Super Series result

    Anybody else think like me that England looked like they weren't really trying too hard on Saturday night? It looked like they were a bit embarrased to be there and were hoping to 'do the decent thing'.

    Wife forced me to watch it

    I thought England were just tulip, you could tell from their faces whilst batting that they were getting a bit stressed, followed by a very aggressive attempt at defending their 99 runs but on the day they were just out manouvered by the bowling order and then out classed by the west indian batters

      I think the chap in the times had it right - they realised they could make a fortune and choked.

      The pre-match blurb was all about what was best for England if they had focused on the fact that the game could make each of them a dollar millionaire, they would have been a lot more composed.

      I don't think there was any "doing the right thing" they just choked.

        If it causes a ressurgence in West Indian cricket then it can only be a good ting....

        What's a poxy 20/20 match in the scheme of things, a strong west indian side would do more/ make more money for the game in the long run.

        They did end up "doing the right thing" but probably not out of intention...

        I think it would have been pretty devisive and bad for morale if they'd one.

        I'd know how i'd feel if next week Swann pulled into training in a new Ferrari...

          They choked. Bit like the Rugby League world cup side really

            That's a different matter entirely. In all likelyhood, they will progress to the semis anyway. Australia will be over-confident after such a convincing win and England will shock them with a 3 point victory.

            And in other news, a small herd of Gloucester Old Spots have been picked up on radar by air traffic control...

                England have been tulipe at ODI's and 20/20 for a long time, they were long odds to win that game.

                    It was such a boring and one-sided game that if I was Stanford I'd find someone else to play his all-stars next year.
