Thank God For That!

It's finally over for England, and not before time to be honest.

The selectors got it wrong for most of the tournament and should have picked more spinners (like the all the semi-finalists), although I suppose one could argue that there aren't too many in the country that would have made a difference.

The fielding was generally awful, although got better as the tournament wore on - to be fair, the only way was up, as Yazz and the Plastic Population once said.

The batting was poor too, with only Eoin Morgan prepared to take calculated risks. Jonanthan Trott ought to be praised for the way he played, even if he did appear to bat slowly, his strike rate was in the 80s.

The England management ought to be chastised for the winter's programme, where some of the players have spent almost 6 months on tour, which is too long for anyone. It doesn't matter whether it's their job, very few can handle that sort of schedule.

We won the Ashes in Australia though, we'll just forget about everything else!
