Well a comprehensive 100 run win for England in this festival match
England's total of 179 proved far too much for the visitors with
none of Australia's batsmen able to get going
The accurate bowling of Gough and Lewis reduced Australia to 31/7
in the 6th over with all the recognised batsmen back in the
pavilion
From there the result was inevitable
The England innings by contrast saw some very entertaining batting
Highlighted by the stable innings of Trescothick, the hard hitting
of Pietersen and the terrific stroke-play of Collingwood
