England definitely is the weakest team given that they play all forms of cricket on consistent basis. They're middle order is fragile and bowling department has been toothless. I am still not able to comprehend with their selection policy when it comes to Harmisson. They got lucky in the first ODI or else their losing streak in ODI's would have been 7.

Didn't Sri Lanka beat us in the Asia Cup? They've won the Asia Cup several times before. I don't consider them a weak team at all. New Zealand are a terrific ODI outfit - not sure what you're getting at here. Bangladesh can be a good team if they were about 20% consistent. They have some really good players but carry a lot of people who can't play well at all. This leaves WI and England. WI have players who can hit the big shots, and play quickly and have a decent bowling line-up. England has Kevin Pietersen and... no one else. Their bowling line-up has Steve Harmison, who cancels the other 10 players out. So England has to be the worst ODI team out there.

From all the mainstream teams, it HAS to be England. They have hardly anyone whom you can call an international ODI class player, except for Pietersen and maybe Flintoff. Individually, when you look at their players, they arent that bad. But somehow, they dont seem to have the chemistry that makes good ODI teams. And to make matters worse, things just got worse for them with Strauss becoming ODI captain. There is no way Strauss is an ODI player. He has been awesome test form, but there is absolutely no place for him in the ODI team. Look at India's performance after they jettisoned guys like Ganguly and Dravid from the ODI teams.. Since then, we've hardly put a foot wrong. Incredibly, Eng is just repeating the mistakes of the past. Their team shouldered the burden of a Michal Vaughan, a proven failure in ODI cricket, just because he was captain. Their performance suffered because of that. Now, they're making the same mistakes..
