Fortified, you may want to continue along Henley Street to The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and spend an hour or so in this engaging, relaxed museum where actors appear in Shakespearean costume to show how people lived and worked in Tudor England. If you've had your fill of Will, and fancy a bit of shopping instead, head south once again.

... world cup, Pakistan have shown glimpses of that unpredictability, such as in their batting collapse against Canada, and the capitulation of their bowlers against new Zealand, by giving away 92 runs, in overs 47-50. If there has been too little fluctuation in Pakistan's form for their supporters' comfort, England have more than compensated, with see-sawing performances at this year's event. Interestingly, Strauss' men have done better against better teams and played abjectly against minnows. They began the tournament by allowing unfancied Holland to score 292 batting first, with the likes of Anderson and Broad not living up ... 't agree and the batsman got the benefit of the doubt, though television action replays were inconclusive. Suddenly, instead of being 7 wickets down, the Windies were awarded 6 runs and their score mounted to 210/6. Soon after, at 222/6, the Windies needing 22 to win off 53, England players could hear the fat lady clearing her throat to begin singing. What happened in the next few overs would have done the Pakistan squad proud. Tredwell struck, getting Russell LBW, his 4th wicket of the match. With Sarwan looking good, the Windies needed someone to keep him company. Swann ...

... side through to a thrilling win in their first game against Holland. Prior has also not impressed in the brief forays he has had in the last two games. It is becoming increasingly evident that the smartest bowling side is likely to enjoy an edge over the others. Unfortunately for England, it isn't them. Though Bresnan got a five-for and decimated India's tail, in the tied game, he did not have too much to show against Ireland. Anderson has been going for plenty of runs, and Ireland's Kevin O'Brien in particular treated him with scant respect ... , Group B was thrown wide open. While making it tougher for India to head the group, the result also propelled England, and a win against against South Africa, however unlikely, could have pushed England to the top of the group with the prospect of facing New Zealand in the quarter-finals. But all that was before England's game against Ireland on March 2. England's batting has flourished with Strauss striking a purple patch, and Pietersen's promotion to opener has given England the boost they needed at the start of their innings. Added to that, Trott and Bell have carried on from where ...

... sent back their best players after the test series in South Africa. This allowed their bench players to get useful practice in the ODI series that followed, while players such as Gambhir, Sehwag, Tendulkar, Dhoni and Zaheer Khan could get some rest ahead of the big event. On paper, this England teams appears to be a balanced unit. Skipper Strauss, though not renowned for his ODI exploits, is likely to bring his technical prowess to bear at the top of the order. The decision to use Pietersen as an opener is arguably the smartest thing the ... bat 50 overs. Pietersen began the ODI series in Australia with an innings of 78, but was mediocre by his standards, thereafter, failing to exploit good starts in the last three games. If England's ace performs to potential, the team could make this world cup an event to cherish. Trott has been the best batting find of the Australian tour. After playing a huge part in England's Ashes victory, Trott scored a couple of centuries in the ODI series to underscore his importance to the team. Bell got a few starts in the ODI series but a highest of 45 ...

... Bangalore, with their patent weaknesses showing no signs of ebbing. As has become his norm,  of recent times,  Pietersen threw away his wicket after settling down. If a batsman who is beginning to see the ball well fails to complete the job, he leaves the door open to disaster, and England could still have snatched defeat from the proverbial jaws of victory. With 33 runs needed off the last 4 overs, Strauss's men were tempting providence. But as he has done on umpteen occasions, Collingwood revealed the tempered steel he was made of, and after 20 were taken in the ... additional spin option, alongside Swann, the only bowler to impress, with 2/35. Part-time spinner Pietersen went for 18 in 2 overs. With Broad's Sreesanth-like penchant to go for runs when he is not taking wickets, England, given their limited bowling options, must wonder how they are going to be able to stop the Indians. On the plus side, England's batting stood the test, with skipper Strauss leading the way, and solid technique displayed by Trott and Bell. Prior and Wright did not get a trip to the wicket. With Broad and Swann -- no rabbits with the willow ...

... to injury. However, this line-up could prove less effective against spin and India are certain to go into Sunday's game with 2 front-line spinners, in Harbhajan and Chawla. Additionally, Sehwag, Yuvraj, and Pathan present Dhoni with an embarrassment of riches in the spin department. Compare this with England's spin options, which include Swann and Yardy. The thought of facing part time spinner Pietersen, in addition, is unlikely to keep India's batsmen awake at night. Broad and Tremlett are likely to complete the bowling line-up at Bangalore. In the 2008 series, Broad appeared not to have ... target to 198, 20 more than the visitors could muster. Incidentally, barring the inclusion of Kohli, in the current squad, the Indian batting line-up was the same then as it is now. India's bowling is missing Ishant Sharma from the 2008 squad, which had Munaf, Zaheer and Harbhajan. England had Anderson, Broad and Swann, in their bowling, with only Tremlett missing, in comparison with the current squad. Include Strauss and omit Owais Shah from the side that toured in 2008 and you have the current batting team. So how is the current team perceived to be different? To start ...

... take on co-host Sri Lanka in the fourth and last quarter-final of ICC World Cup 2011, on Saturday, March 26. Sri Lanka are favoured to win playing in home conditions against an erratic England, but is there something England can do to upset Sri Lanka and knock them out of the World Cup? In this article, I consider Sri Lanka's weaknesses and England's strengths that might aid them in this endeavour: * Sri Lanka's inconsistent top order: Dilshan can be one-man army on his day, but more often than not, the Sri Lankan opener is out to a ... " is a rhythm bowler. Upset his rhythm and he goes for planty of runs. An inform Strauss and Prior must aim to do that. * England top order in good form: Barring Collingwood, the England top order batsmen are all getting runs. Strauss, Prior, Trott and Bell have been playing consistently well, while Morgan is due for a big one. Swann is no rabbit with the bat either. * England bowlers getting their act together: With the inclusion of Tredwell, the England bowling has a settled look to it. The two frontline spin bowlers will be an asset at Colombo. Anderson has been the sole disappointment ...

... including Stonehenge and the lesser-known Woodhenge. These, together with grave-mounds located all over the region as well as Averbury on the Marlborough Downs, are the most important examples of life in prehistoric Britain that we have. This was, after all, the most inhabited region in the South of England. In contrast to these bare uplands, is the county town of Salisbury, situated among fertile water meadows. Its cathedral spire, which rises above the town's skyline, was an inspiration for the landscape painter John Constable. Dorset remains a quiet and rural county due largely to the fact that it ... gentle undulating hills and in all the Southern counties, beef cattle graze. Daisy meadows can be found in central Dorset which stretch along the Hampshire river valleys. Bournemouth is, perhaps, Southern England's most popular holiday resort, brimming during the summer months with holiday makers and tourists. The New Forest provides a stark contrast with its vast tracts of unspoilt woodland although it too is a major visitor attraction. South England also boasts a large collection of stately homes and in particular manor houses with almost one in every village. Thankfully, most villages retain their medieval heritage, with a church, a village ...

... to add a little bit of punch to the attack. The difference between the two sides ended up being English superiority in the scrum and line-out, mixed with an extremely organised defence, but even that did not become apparent until the final quarter of the match. For all of England's flakiness, it would be wrong to take anything away from the Scots, who put on a spirited effort, despite being given absolutely no chance of coming away the points. Scotland coach Andy Robinson will no doubt be proud of his team's brave performance but rather than focusing on ... , but if this performance is to go by, the inclusion of Banahan will make the captain's injury of minimal concern. The 6 ft 7 behemoth is more than ready to be unleashed against Ireland star Brian O'Driscoll. The Welsh will be looking for another below par outing for England. A dreary rugby match is perhaps just what Warren Gartland had hoped for and is perhaps wishing for again, since now his side have a glimmer of hope of lifting the Six Nations title. It remains to be seen whether Croke Park will see a scene of English jubilation or ...

... the Spanish could have prevailed in any one of these three instances, but because of Sidonia's inexperience at sea, they made very poor choices and were ultimately destroyed by severe winter storms as they tried to navigate the treacherous seas west of Scotland and Ireland. Experience wins battles indeed. England had fewer resources and fewer ships, but the experience of her leaders, Sir Francis Drake comes to mind first, made enough of a difference that the British were able to turn the situation to their advantage. Once again, experience wins battles. ... When it left Spain in 1588, the "Invincible Armada" hardly expected to be returning the next year in shambles. They departed with a fleet of over 150 top-rate ships and manpower exceeding 40,000 souls. Their voyage took them to England, then on to Holland, completely around the British isles, and finally back to Spain. In the process, they lost over 70 ships and 30,000 men were killed. The ultimate cause of this catastrophic failure can be pinned on several reasons, but the biggest reason for Spain's failure was ...
