England in Series win!

February 7, 2008 · Filed Under England One Day Cricket

Just two games in and England have already won a series in NZ! Ok, so it was only the twenty20 2 game series but it is still a series! I didn’t see any of the first game, and have yet to watch the highlights of the second, but the overwhelming feeling I’m getting is the Kiwi’s are on a step hill, one of the downhill variety.

They’ve lost so many key players in the past few weeks and months, ones that they could rely on to provide the goods whilst the rest of the players quietly have an impact on the game despite not being the ’star’ players. We should have won the series like we did, and we should win the upcoming series now having seen what we are up against, but that is by no means a certainty.

I can’t really go into individual performances having not seen the games, but lets hope it will put us on a decent platform for the upcoming ODI’s! If you have seen the games and have a quick opinion about any player’s performance stick it in the comments section and let me know what I’ve missed!
