Scoring 178 in 43 overs against a modest Kenyan attack was always going to be easy for England [ Images ].

Rediff.com's expert thought that England, with Kevin Pietersen [ Images ] and Paul Collingwood [ Images ], were good to get even 100 more runs.

England's innings therefore opened with a pressure index (PI) of just 28.

When captain Michael Vaughan [ Images ] went early the PI rose to 36. At 52/2, when Thomas Odoyo dismissed Ian Bell [ Images ], it was again 36.

But as Ed Joyce and Pietersen got down to work, the PI dropped further. At 119/2 after 20 it was 26; and at 148/2 in 25, the PI was just 17.

This match proved that Pietersen is still England's best batsman. It also proves Joyce could capture the slot vacated by Marcus Trescothick [ Images ] and that Vaughan doesn't really fit into England's ODI team.

But that was true of Mike Brearley and England's Test team some 30 years ago too.
