Swing low, sweet Pedalo

England finally manage to squeak through into the next stage of the Cricket World Cup, where they'll face Ireland.

As the BBC pointed out, England have only won three matches against Test playing opposition at the World Cup since 1992. On the other hand, I think New Zealand are good enough to win the whole thing (or at least get to the finals against the Aussies), so losing to them in the first round isn't *that* disasterous. So complete humiliation (i.e. 8th in the Super 8s) should be avoided...
