Hales lumb and wright are all in aus,

Call them up. Send the test players home, and just let them go have some fun out there. Not like we can win the series.

Chuck in Bedwetter as well and I think that the team would probably play better.

Also England have got to move Butler up the order... if Australia can move Haddin up why can't England move Butler up?

Pound for pound Butler is a better batsman than Haddin!

This the same HAddin who dominated the Test series we're talking about?

Hope we now go down 5-0 as this will put even more pressure on Cook to be relieved of the captaincy. Can't see how he can possible cling on to it if that happens.

[Cedrictoad]

Yup, Haddin might be in the form of his life but I would still back Butler's technique and eye over Haddins.

Butler is just missing the confidence and swagger!

Big statement there mate seeing what Haddin has been doing with the bat lately

[Cedrictoad]

and a Kookaburra Bubble bat of course... they have magical powers

Come on aus, don't go soft! Play your best team for the rest of the series and smash these wasters. I don't really care if England win or lose as long as they compete and at no point have they really done that.. Even the second ODI was pretty easy for aus really. Flower, Giles and all the back room staff/analysts should go.. However the ECB should be looked at! They are the men/women in charge and so should carry the can for allowing the rot to set in. ECB are a bunch of bean counters and don't appear to care about the game.

I'd like to see someone like Hales come into the team. England aren't far off a win. Cook and Bell started well, Stokes shouldn't have been brought up to 3, Ballance, to me doesn't seem good enough, I'd keep Root in the side as he tends to pick up some important wickets with his spin and let's be honest he is no mug with the bat. Even Luke Wright.. He is in the mould of a Morgan

[Cedrictoad]

Surely England needs to experiment in these last two games... give Carberry and Wright a go (maybe even Hales and Lumb... why not have 5 openers ha ha)

[at200]

why not just play a Forum XI?

[Cedrictoad]

I totally agree with your thinking on the Sri Lankan games.

England need to build a squad for the World Cup and I think they need to see more players before they can settle on an eleven... I am not 100% sure Cook is a ODI player... he did look alright today though

Cook
Hales
Bell
Wright
Morgan
Root

English cricket will do what it always does, accept mediocrity as long as the right faces keep their jobs.
