England ICC Champions 2009?

Well done to the England cricket team on what was a fantastic performance against the South Africans last night. The victory sees them through to the semi finals and gives them a great chance to do the unthinkable and win the ICC Champions Trophy.

Following dismal performances in the post-Ashes one day series, England were a massive 18-1 to win the ICC Trophy. Being drawn in the same group as South Africa and Sri Lanka, probably the two best one day teams in the world, along with a potentially tricky New Zealand team, probably didnt help their chances. Well, they have proved everyone wrong, with victory of Sri Lanka and hosts South Africa, the team have every chance of going all the way.

Despite the injuries to Flintoff and Pietersen, the England team still look to be on the up, with Joe Denly and Owen Morgan coming through to prove themselves and a great new bowling attack of Broad, Swann, Anderson and Onions. In Andrew Strauss the team have a great natural leader, despite too very average performances with the bat so far. English cricket is set to be on the up once again.
