All cricket lovers will have wanted Brian Charles Lara to score a century in front of his home crowd. It was not to be. He managed to get himself run out after a fairly stupid call by Samuels who the crowd had not come to see. We won the match with a brilliant century by Pietersen, but I do wish, like Boycott whenever he scored a century, he would take his guard, Hip Hip ugh! and start again. Nevertheless, we won the match with a ball to spare.

You wish Pietersen was more like Boycott? I'm not so sure, England are short of big hundreds men, but Pietersen has passed 150 in test matches 3 times in 2 years, he's by no means the weakest link.
The problem, you could say, is that we don't have a Lara, but nor does anyone else anymore. On the bright side Harmison is rumoured to be back in form, Jones may be fit soon and Plunkett has matured and picked up his pace to 90mph+ when he puts his back into it. Add Flintoff and Mahmood to the mix and we should soon have 5 bona fide fast bowlers. No team has a Lara, but no team has this luxury either.
I expect a victorious summer.
