USA and Canada. But I fail to see what that has to do with our shower of simpletons in Wellington?
Need to drop Morgan, switch Ballance to no.5, and play Hales at no.3. Possibly Jordan for Finn, but that's county bias showing through. Captaincy to either Root or Broad (heart says Root, head says Broad).

Honestly think you're shuffling deck chairs there - I'm not sure Moores has a clue, they are so obviously lacking direction and tactics.
I saw Andrew Strauss as a key note speaker last week and chatted to him afterwards, he didn't have much positive to say about the Moores era, gushing about Flower and his meticulous preparations. It was very clear that Moores is old school and Flower much more progressive, does that tell us why our already fairly poor ODI form has been slammed in to reverse?

The best players are already in the squad. It's just that they are nowhere near good enough against the best ODI teams in the world.

My view is that 50 overs cricket has moved on and is now an extended 20/20 game. England have yet to realise this. Not that it will help them much.
There is a DSTV advert here for the CWC called Get Fired Up with all the nations getting really excited and then they cut to 2 Poms sitting in a cab - one says "we will be hopeless" and the other agrees. Quite funny and spot on!

I am copping so much stick from all this, as I am running the sweep at work.
I may have to stop going out!

England clearly lack the positive attitude to do well in this form of cricket. We played scared or we play stupid pretty much all the time. No sense of tactics or confidence. It's not that the players are rubbish I think we have some decent players, but we only seem set up for test matches and not the short form. Despite Southee's heroics the batsmen let themselves down badly and as for poor old Joe Root who had to stand and watch the incompetence at the non-striking end I feel nothing but sympathy. Scotland will fancy their chances on sunday.
