Three days, two matches, two wins; it doesn’t get much better than that. If you are England, it usually gets nowhere near as good as that where limited overs cricket is concerned (and Test cricket since 2006). But the Ginger Prince’s trusty charges have once again shown that they have what it takes to win abroad when the pyjamas are on.
Another convincing 50-run win today sees the ever-improving short game squad claim another scalp; even it is over a Bond-less New Zealand. Let’s not do this achievement down though, England were appalling at theTwenty20 World Cup, while Kiwi cricket involves a plethora of limited-overs matches with two Tests thrown in every couple of years or so, and they were at home.
Only another five one-dayers to go until we get to seThe way England has played the twenty20 matches against New Zealand was impressive. It was really inspirational victories for England. They played well in all three departments of the matches. Collingwood is leading the side in the front. This is what needed for a captain to influence the players. So, I see a good future of the side in the coming days. However, England’s test performance is below the mark. So, they need to work on their test performancee a Test match in March. Happy days

I agree England played well and its good to see the tour getting off to good start but success of the England cricket team is going to be judged on how well we can play at the longer version of the game not a 20 over slogout. Don't get me wrong twenty20 is good for the game and is creating interest amoung young players, but we have to perform at test level.
