England got their first win of the World Cup with an unconvincing victory over Canada. No minnow-bashing for us. Top player in the match was the Guyanese Sunil Dhaniram who took 3 major English wickets to help keep our total down. Official Man of the Match Collingwood lost out here thanks to his unproductive bowling after his quickfire unbeaten 62. Bopara took his opportunity after Flintoff's drunken antics and his performance was quite a contrast to the other bits-and-pieces Englishman Dalrymple whose disastrous batting and bowling saw him slump to being the third worst contributor altogether in the World Cup so far. Joyce's sluggish top score barely got him into the top ten in the match.
