New Zealand v England 2nd One Dayer 12th Feb 2008

Here we go again, another torrid England batting display and England’s 4th 10 wicket defeat in one dayers. Once again England’s middle orders were found wanting, all England’s batsmen without exception need a few runs under their belt. Boparas initial burst onto the cricketing scene seems to have fallen well and truly flat now whereas Pieterson really needs a big total to remind people of how good he is. Mustard is surely not an international opener. 3 dropped catches in the field scuppered any hope England had of salvaging anything from this game. Move on now, can things get any worse.
