That's it now with Bresnan gone. We can't even cash in on the Aussie bowlers dropping like flies.

As soon as the world cup squad gets picked, half of those picked decide not to show up.
How embarrassing that was.

Can someone talk me through how Ally Cook is adjudged not to be aggressive enough for this form of the game and yet Jonathan Trott is in the side? Seems a strange one to send Cook home, and I'm still not sure I like this "open with the Wicketkeeper" idea: I know it worked for Gilchrist, but he was one the best of all time.

Trott when he was first picked by England was considered a 20/20 man....we've got the 50 over stuff in a mess for a while now....of course it will now be said we don't have 50 over domestic cricket. Think it was always going to be hard for the players to get up for this after The Ashes.. |

Plus Aus are much better at 2 innings cricket than they are at the 3 innings variety they played for most of the English winter.

Aren't the Aussies ranked 1 in 50 over cricket? So in some ways it's not be that surprising they are playing well here. I still don't think we can get our 50 over side right. As Nemo said people like Ally Cook should maybe get a look in. It isn't T20 which we do have right and maybe we should look at players who can do a bit more than just slog. I remember back in the day the Aussies used to field the same team for both tests and ODIs. Why not?

Englands attitude to 50 over cricket reminds me of Swindons attitude to cup competitions.

At the rate the players are going down injured, some of the Barmy Army might get a game.
It's ridiculous that the players get 3 days back in the UK before flying off to India to start the 7 week World Cup, which will probably be as tedious as the last one.
The T20 World Cup is more entertaining as it's all over inside three weeks.

It probably doesn't help that nearly all our bowlers are injured now. Trott looking very decent though, still a little concerned about the pace of his batting on the sub continent but his actual stats are looking very impressive at the moment.

Trott's been quality, just need KP/Bell/Morgan to stop batting like fucking girls and get some around him.
