we still need to sort out our batting but good fight at the end shown by our bowlers and glad we won

Er... you realise it's been the batting rescuing us from terrible bowling so far this world cup till today? With the loss to Ireland being due to terrible bowling after the Batsman had given them a good platform? Even today only Swanny, Brezza and Broady can hood their heads up.in bowling terms. Jimmy and Yardy were shocking.

sorry i did actually mean are bowling as our batting has been sound apart from today, and jimmys not a one day bowler and certainly not compared to his test bowling ability

Jimmy's problem is Indian pitches, remove swing and he's just a straight medium pacer.

KP going home and Morgan called up to replace him. I'd imagine Bell will be moved up to replace him at the top. Don't think it will strengthen or weaken the batting, it's just a shame that we couldn't have them together this world cup! Although the batting looks suspect against Bangladesh if Morgan isn't their in time :/
