England Defy The Odds
----------------------------------------- 
England's cricketers have won the Commonwealth Bank one-day cricket series in Australia.
Two weeks ago bookies were offering odds of 200-1 against an England victory.
They beat the home team on Sunday to win the second in a three-game series and take the trophy.
England followed up their thrilling four-wicket win in Melbourne on Friday by defeating Australia by 34 runs in a rain-shortened match at the Sydney Cricket Ground - salvaging some pride after losing the Ashes 5-0
Paul Collingwood continued his golden run of form with the bat with a defiant 70 to help England reach 246 for eight from their 50 overs.
Australia were set a revised total of 211 off 33 overs to win after the match was interrupted by four rain delays but could only muster 152-8 when the foul weather stopped play a fifth time and England were awarded victory under the Duckworth-Lewis system.
