Thought of the Day: Paul Revere wasn't really onto something

The latest ODI between England and New Zealand ended in something of a blow-out, with England hitting over 400 runs for the first time in an ODI, while New Zealand managed to field eleven players in the same uniform.

Nice work, lads.

The exciting way in which England played, the total runs scored & their ability to bowl out the Kiwis cheaply was as drastic change to their form in ODI cricket since Kevin Costner was the worlds best-known bodyguard.

No-one messes with trousers that high.

While I'm glad that England have managed to shake off the cloud of curmudgeon that has blanketed the team in recent years, one 400+ score does not make a...summer?

A quick look at the list of all 400+ scores in ODI cricket shows that these have been happening for ten years (thanks again, South Africa) and three were scored in the latest World Cup alone.

I've mentioned before that there is plenty of upside to this young England team, but I don't know if everyone should be worried about the English arriving just yet.
