jawardene is not playing so that gives us a slight chance.
it is about time moores earned his money and selected players with a bit of adventure about them. its clear as day, cook has been found out and to extend his career he should stick to tests. as for bell, he has forever flattered to deceive in odis, looking set, then he will get out to a prod to mid on or off.
of course, the problem here is central contracts, which have helped to improve standards but on the downside, make leaving players out virtually impossible, due to the cost
the team as it stands is filled with a majority of younger lads, who want to play a certain way but are hampered by having to carry cook and bell.
i have said before but to me it is similar to the crossover from nasser to vaughan. vaughan captained an odi series when asser was injured but when nass came back, he could sense the team had moved on, without him. to nassers credit, he chose to retire. i am not advocating cook to retire but to concentrate on tests.
if we start the world cup with cook and bell in the top three, i dont thibnk we will get past the initial group
Does anyone know when Broad and Anderson will return. Is it possible they'll be back soon or are they magically going to appear full fit for the WC itself?
for the warm up defeats to australia and india in the new year
