England's Men have started this competition well, albeit with a couple of extra end wins in a tournament full of high-scoring games. In their first game they eventually defeated Netherlands 9-8 after being 2 up coming into the last end and losing 2 shots. Following that they managed an even worse last end against Australia, losing 3 shots after being 3 up coming into the last end. England scored a single shot in the extra end to win 12-11 in a wildly fluctuating game.
However a prerequisite of a successful team is being able to cope with pressure and England certainly showed that they can do that with extra end wins. It would be better if they could do without the self-inflicted pressure, but two wins out of two is a good start.
