Captain Paul Collingwood blamed Englandu00a0 batsmen after their record run of Twenty20 victories ended by a four-run defeat against Australia yesterday.



After Ian Bell and Steven Davies had set the platform with an opening stand of 60 from 46 balls, England'su00a0 managed just 53 runs in the next 10 overs, while also losing six wickets.

That left them needing 18 from Brett Lee's final over and while Chris Woakes kept up hopes with a six, Tim Bresnan could not deliver a similar blow that was required from the last ball.u00a0 "I thought we could win. But we went through those middle overs and had a lot of dot balls," said Collingwood.
