No reliable fast-scoring opener since Trescothick went, so either (a) the openers hang around not scoring much, and we're well behind the rate by the time the strokeplayers get in, or (b) the openers get out and we're two wickets down for not much.
The current batting order is all wrong for me. I think Bell and Prior should be #s 4 and 7 or so. Maybe open with Bopara and Pietersen himself, to get the ball moving around right away. Then Shah, Bell, Collingwood, Flintoff, Prior.
