Cricket world cup positives

1) Ravi Bopara. Good innings yesterday from a young lad when more experienced players were falling apart around him. Couple of good knocks, useful back up bowler and good in the field. Young man who could have a future.
2) Collingwood. Vital to both the one day and test teams. Copes will (as does KP) with the knowledge that the majority of englands run total will be his responsibility.
3) KP. Decent world cup, some good scores and finally passed 100. Like colly needs more back up so his occasional fails don't condemn us to defeat.

Nixon also had a decent WC but being passed 30 its probably the only time we'll see him.
FLintoff looked better with the ball again, more control if not penetration, wouldn't class either of those as real positives though.
And that's about it.
