England vs India.

why are England never willing to move the batting order around to suit?
Could have done so when Bell went to keep the momentum going.

Because we're a rigid team and any major changes will only have a negative effect. I agree though, could have done with someone like Swann or Bresnan coming in after Bell to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

but Colly and Prior are much better batsman than Bresnan

I can see his point though, Trott, Bell and Collingwood coming in 3-5 look far too similar to me, there's no variety in there and I don't think Prior is a flexible enough ODI batsman to come in at 6. In fairness the injury to Morgan has really hampered England's batting line-up as with him at 5 he adds something completely different.
