Englands Golden Generation English Cricket Team provides ConsolationEngland’s footballers failed to live up to their ‘Golden Generation’ tag after their embarrassing exit from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. But their cricket counterparts might still have a chance to live up to that label. While Capello’s men were getting knocked out after losing 4-1 to Germany.

The England cricket team was winning the third one-day international against Australia. Even though it was by one wicket, it gave England an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Success is now not only expected from the superstar footballers and anyway, it will now be another 4 years before England will have another shot at football glory at the world stage. In the meantime, however, the cricketers have made dramatic progress. After little more than a month of winning the ICC World Twenty20 in West Indies, they are now eyeing a 5-0 win over Australia.
