Windies probably a spinner short to be real contenders if narine is not playing. But capable of an upset or two.

Add Roach, Russell and Lewis to this side and they look strong.

This ladies and gentlemen is why we won't win the WC..... isn't this exactly what happened in the Champions Trophy..... as soon as we come up against something a bit tricky we fold with a complete inability to adapt to conditions!

Eoin Morgan after the game....

"We struggled throughout the whole innings with the bat to deal with and adapt to conditions. Extra bounce is not something we come up against very often. We struggled massively. We were way off the ball and West Indies forced us into a lot of errors today. It was pretty much a one-horse race.

"It is quite difficult to curb what has been a natural reaction for a couple of weeks. We need to get better when we come up against different conditions. It is never easy for any side but we need to adapt and find a way to score runs and manage our innings.

"I think you have to rock up in a good enough head space to adapt to any conditions. I would like to think we could learn from our mistakes takes today and look forward rather than back"

Are you forgetting where the World Cup is being played? 😂😂😂😂😂

Not sure what you mean. ICC tournament means their control of the pitches.

The point is our inability to adapt to anything other than a flat road. Champions Trophy semi was in UK and look what happened there. At Lords vs SA on a green tinged pitch we were 20-6. Adelaide with a quick pitch we were 8-5. And then yesterday when the bounce did for them.

I have just read that the initial date of 23rd April for submission to the ICC of your WC Squad is only for a Provisional squad and that the final deadline is actually 22nd May (just before the warm ups start).

So you really have a month to sort yourself out and change your mind if you want.

And with regards England that's huge because it allows them to look at Archer vs Pakistan, to then alter the squad if needed.

Bayliss has now come out and pretty much said he is going to get a go vs Pakistan (and Ireland).

In Cardiff the groundsmen there don't follow orders on how to prep the wicket, apparently.

This series has shown that there is no stopping to the England team if the wicket is flat but team will struggle on spicy ones.
And the other concerns are their bowling if they can score score 330 + scores they can easily give away 320 runs.

Right now no team will be looking to out run them but to take wkts and not let then score in access of 310 and then back their batting to get it.

On flat wickets they can easily out score opposition by 30-40 runs but they need to fix their bowling.
They are the no#1 contenders to this world cup closely followed by India (Due to their top batters and very good bowling attack) and I do not think there is any other team which can win WC right now.
India only struggles to chase down anything above 300 when they lose their top 3 or when they need to push the potential score to 25- 35 runs more.

I don�t make England favourites at all. Our batting is prone to a collapse as we have seen. Plunkett and Rashid are I reckon decent ODI bowlers, not convinced about the rest at all.

If we pick the right side and bring brains, I reckon we're one of six teams with a chance. No more than that - we should make the semis but then it's a lottery.

Yeah spot on. I'm not convinced we are favourites, it does look like Archer is being given every chance to play. Harsh on someone to miss out, basically as it looks Archer strolls in and gets to play a World Cup within 3 months of qualifying.

I dunno, i guess that's pro sport. Even if this guy is the real deal we are just in a group that could win.

Who would rule out West Indies? Lacking a spinner but that's all

Chris Gayle gone.

Looking at the umpires there �bump ball? No ball? Come on home umpire.........�

England bowling well controlling the game.

Denly bowling in a short sleeve shirt, looks so village

Yes did well to get across from a stationary stance.
