England’s tale of woeEngland’s failure to qualify for Euro 2008 would be akin to India not making it to the main draw of Asia Cup cricket. Unthinkable, but the eerie prospect does loom over England. SOUTH AFRICA-PAKISTAN ONE-DAYERS 
Pollock turns the clock backSouth Africa clinched the ODI Series against Pakistan 3-2, soon after winning the Test series 1-0.
