This mickey mouse tourney is just prep for the Ashes, Fred and Fletch won't be risking anything.

Even then I'd rather retain the Ashes than win the World Cup. The ICCCCCCT is a bit of a laugh tbh. |

It may very well be the warm up for the World cup, and it might not be as important as the Ashes but how on earth can anyone contemplate winning the world cup if less than a year before when only 3 players have over 50 caps? |

And who cares about ODI tournaments? They mean **** all.
It's "this sort of attitude" that won the Ashes last summer after 16 years, that's all I give a toss about, that and other Test series'. Are you honestly going to tell me you remember, or give a toss about last years, and the year before that's ODI results? I'll enjoy our little group outing for what it is, preparation for the Ashes and a run out for Fred. |

I actually think England have the makings of quite a decent ODI side....as you said, Yardy and Dalrymple give them a lot of flexibility and when Trescothick returns and Flintoff resumes bowling, they could be very competitive come March/April next year. |

![]() Seriously, shocking call to drop Lewis, especially with the movement Munaf & Pathan got. |

Doubt there will be much swing in WI, and if it ain't swinging he's fodder. No, they've done right for a change in using this as practice for the WC which is what ODIs are for, and Lewis won't be playing in it barring a massive injury crisis.
India are doing it wrong by using Powar, he'll do nowt in the WI they should be playing Sreesanth, but winning a mickey mouse tourney seems to take precedence for some reason. |
