England turned the tables on Australia yesterday, completing a sweep of the finals in the CB Series in Australia. This is the same English team that had everyone wondering two weeks ago if things could get any worse. The Englishmen won 4 consecutive ODIs including the 2 in the finals, to hand Australia their first home finals series defeat in 14 years.
With Paul Collingwood rounding into form with scores of 106, 120 n.o. and 70 in his last 3 matches, a streaking England could go deep in the World Cup. This result also underlines the fact that despite their extended brilliance, this Australian team is no lock to win the World Cup. On the other hand, this defeat may just spur them on to ensure that they do win the trophy.
