Momentum

Wickman is now extremely concerned about momentum. Everyone in the England camp has been talking about it for the last few days. A win against the Aussies began to give us some "momentum". We then seized on it to beat the Sri Lankans. After that we were in full momentum swing and trounced the Jaapies. But then we had momentum issues and lost to the Kiwis yesterday who picked up a bit of momentum of their own. So in ODI terms we were LLLLLLWWW and now we are LLLLLLWWWL. What next? Will we symmetrically now lose five more in a row with negative momentum? Wickman is confused.

What's even more confusing is it seems you can have two kinds of momentum. KP here talks about not losing the Ashes momentum. So maybe there is Test momentum as well as one day momentum and you can get destroyed by Australia six times in a row in one day cricket but lose no Test momentum in the process?

Wickman needs a lie down.
