It's the taking part that counts, yeah right!

I'm confused, two weeks ago the England Cricket team were being battered in the one day series by a rampant australian side bent on getting revenge for losing the ashes...again!
Now I'm all excited about the aggressive, creative way that they have beaten two of the worlds top one-day sides putting the South African hosts out of the tournament!
This upturn in the teams fortunes has come in tandem with a downturn in the form of Captain Sensible who in the two tournament games we've played has scored 9 and 25.
Anyone want to petition Andrew Strauss to throw his wicket away for the rest of the tournament?
