We are are a much better side in one days than the test side and they are missing players, we should be too strong over the series.

Favourites for the WC here thou may be a bit off the mark, pitches will be overseen(controlled) by the ICC similar to the last tournament here, like any knockout 50 over tournament history shows us any number of sides could win it.

I should say something along the lines of we are favourites to look dominant for the first three weeks of the tournament. Once the pitches slow its not certain that we have the nous required...

Yes...it could follow the last major tournament here, we got caught on a used pitch and didn't have the ability to adjust.

There has to be plan B when you cannot hit everything thru the line on a road of a pitch.

Favourites tag is always a tough one, one good innings or bowling spell can change a match.i think we will do well but that's all.

Worth noting the ICC have declared all knockouts will be played on fresh pitches this time.

Looks like a flat wicket. Woakes already going around the park and that’s with Gayle blocking quite a lot. Probably ends up getting out now

It's flat and no movement, good to see Woakes back on the field. Bit of sun on the pitch and it might get better for us.

Don’t get cocky

WI won the last meaningful white ball game between the sides didn’t they?? Plus, this englsnd side haven’t won anything meaningful yet...

It’s weird to see though in modern white ball

50 up for both now. Roy’s drop has been costly.

Luckily gayle’s making up for his slow start

presume they don't want the leggie bowling to Gayle as a leftie.

Roy might be the one in hiding!

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Rashid has a good Googly as well thought it would be worth a chance to get a wicket..
