England v/s Canada (Group C) at St.Lucia
England 279/6 in 50 overs (Joyce 66, Collingwood 62*) beat Canada228/7 in 50 overs (A Mulla 58, Bopara 43/2) by 51 runs.
Match home
A win for England but nothing to shout about. A pretty cold performance but after two big upsets on Saturday, they will take this. The day began with the news that talismanic all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was dropped for this game as he was out drinking till 4am on Saturday morning. His night of adventure ended with capsizing on a pedalo and had to be rescued by hotel staff. As a result of indiscretion, Flintoff has been stripped of his vice-captaincy.
This event was overshadowed by the tragic news of Bob Woolmer's death, a day after his team Pakistan crashed out of the world cup with a defeat to Ireland. A sad day in the history of sport.
