England win the CB series.

One of the most unexpected series wins of all-time has been achieved by England. Paying $41 for a $1 bet a few weeks ago after people bowled out for 110, they have bounced back superbly and will now lift the CB series trophy. At the time of writing Australia still has a minute chance of winning the 2nd final but looking at the radar the rain won't stop in time.
Congratulations must go to England who were down and out and less popular than a Sheik Al-Hilaly at Cronulla beach on Australia Day about a week and a half ago. They will gain a tremendous amount of confidence coming up to the World Cup and the Australian selectors will have a huge task of getting the team right.
