The test side is the best team in the world by far, only South Africa are even close.
One day side is pretty naff though, needs mega sorting out and fast.
The Test side is good but South Africa are number 1 for a reason, they murdered us over here in the test series last year. We could easily have been whitwashed. We are comfortably number 2 though.
ODI results had been improving under Cook & we have an excellent recent record in ODI cricket in this country (in fact anywhere outside the sub-continent really.) 3 factors at play for me here 1) Injuries taking away some of our more pentrative bowling. 2) Batsmen not really in form 3) Guptill in the form of his life.
At full strength in English conditions, I still think we are a handful.
