One Day Final - Sydney


This is definitely turning into a strange weekend for sport. After England struggling against Italy and Wales loosing to Scotland in the rugby, the focus now shifts to cricket. And a team which, two weeks ago, was on its knees and lucky to get into the finals manages to win the second match in a row so that the finals don't even need to go to the third match. Of course the weather and the Duckworth-Lewis system may have helped but that doesn't change the fact they won. Ther last few matches have rested squarely on the shoulders of the few, and Collingwood has risen to the moment. Plunkett has also come on wonderfully.

I hope they don't go into the World Cup thinking they are better than they really are. They are going to need some hard graft from here on.
