Same here - though I doubt we will win.
Going to be multi-tasking today - watching cricket on TV and listening to match on my laptop!!

Real tough one to call....it is similar to South Africa,Blackcats........Sri Lanka are favourites but in England are capable...like New Zealand.
Swindon Kick off at 1?

Yes - match at 1 but unless we are well and truly thrashed cricket will still be on then won't it?

Great start winning the toss and batting first.
For me its a also a great decision to put Bell up top with Strauss (dont let us down!). This isnt a thrashers pitch and we need these 2 (probably our 2 best batsmen in the side?) to play themselves in and bat long.

 Sorry thought by the question mark you were implying I wouldn't need to multi-task

First time England have played a World Cup knock out game since 9th March 1996, when we lost to?
Sri Lanka.

Agreed Spencer, frustrating to see him caught batting with the tail too many times, hopefully he can get a few for us today. Going to need to set a pretty hefty target i think. |

Only doubt Ive got about todays team is Tremlett. Really like him as a test bowler. But I dont think he has enough variation for one day cricket. He needs a wicket early in his first spell or I think he will go for 7.5+ an over.

Strauss needs to calm down, it doesnt matter that Bell has got to grips with the pitch and the spin much quicker than Strauss. Back yourself!

Straussy needs to get walking now, bowled by a part-timer's long hop. Argh.

Dissapointed in Strauss. He should have just tried to score singles and support Bell.
