Bigg Brother Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I am envy of this England's ODI unit. They rested Buttler after injury yesterday & his replacement was 'Bairstow'. Buttler Bairstow Sam Billings Ben foakes(According to English fans he will make debut soon) These are the wk options available for England. Now look at their pace battery. Woakes Wood Plunkett Willy Jordan(Medicore though) Stokes Ball Allrounders:- Moeen Ali Ben stokes Woakes Even Plunkett,Rasheed,Jordan has first class century. After 2015 wc debacle,they have found amazing combination after saking big names like Anderson,Broad.Best LOI team after Australia at present. tweaker 1
WC2011INDIA Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Yeah they are one of my favourite odi sides. Not your typical arrogant bunch.
velu Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 they are yet to win anything significantly in ODIs.. express bowling 1
bowl_out Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Building a strong team for WC at home.. That's still 2.5 years away.. Still..
chewy Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 it's a cyclic thing for England, they have been having these ODI mini-renaissance (even reaching No.1, CT finals) in last couple years (based on premise of rebuilding), they go on a role, then come to India get battered black and blue, go off to Australia same story, then change their squad last minute before WC and get knocked out, and cycle repeats. tweaker 1
YCCC Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I don't think that will happen this time whatever happens in India or Australia. The selectors have faith in this group and rightly so. tweaker 1
MK55 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 They are probably the second best ODI side in the world currently, marginally behind AUS due to Starc. Batting wise they are the most exciting side with an explosive middle-lower order batting. With Moen, Ali, Woakes and Plunkettt, they bat all way down up to number 10. Bowling has vastly improved and has got all bases covered. Wood and Plunkett can comfortably bowl 90+mph. Woakes can swing at decent pace and Jordan isn't so bad at the death. The best part is that the average age of the side is just about right to contest in 2019 WC and other major tournaments. Would be disappointing if they don't manage to win some.
Bigg Brother Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 India vs England ODI series would be great..Shame it is only 3 match series. express bowling 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 They are also looking to add tymal mills which would give their lineup a complete new dimension.

The speedster suffers from a congenital back condition meaning he is now only able to bowl in short spurts, making four-day – and therefore Test – cricket an absolute no-no. T20 is now his only option, but boy is he suited for it. "
Bilal Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 England will rule the world. They have an amazing upcoming talent not juat for odis but in all formats.. just need a quality spinner
Sooda Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 The brute power of their batsmen is the big X Factor
express bowling Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 More than talent, winning big tournaments is a matter of mindset of the team as a whole.... a will to win and belief in themselves that they can. England has never been able to win any ICC tournament in ODIs, whether it is the much coveted World Cup or the consolation prize Champion's Trophy. Till they actually win something, it is difficult to rate their ODI side that highly. Even South Africa has had some amazing talent over the years but they have never won the 50-over World Cup due to their mindset.
Zero_Unit Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Before we all go Banana for this ENG team, let's see how they perform in the sub-c. We have all seen ENG rise up in the past before only to tuck in their tail and crumble under. This bunch looks very promosing though. express bowling 1
