jordan is bona fide ****e. it's like the dark days of mahmood and plunkett all over again.

picking a fella cause he can bowl in the late 80s and knows which end to hold the bat.

sad reality is that the alternatives are just as terrible.

If you could get Jordan to bowl a third of the wides he does then he'd be perfectly fine. Takes poles more regularly than the others and has shown some ability at the death with both bat and ball; which is more than can be said for most others. Also pretty darn good in the field.

Oh, don't get me wrong it's a big if but at least it's something rather than looking at Harry Gurney and thinking 'hmmm, what do we need to improve?..... everything?'

What fantastic build up again by us, sacking the captain less than 2 months from the tournament. Way to go. Guess Morgan will be relieved, means his place is secure now despite being awful for ages.

Hearing Ballance is in the squad. Which is pretty much a joke. You're basically bringing in someone to do the same role who hasn't had a tenth of the success.

I'm not against Cook being dropped, his form was wretched, but I just don't get JEoin's promotion his form is almost worse.

Yeah, why drop him and then bring him back?

I think we have messed up totally again. No faith in them at all.

Tbh, I kind of new Cook couldn't still be in the side but I'm still pissed off. It's harsh he has to miss his first world cup while inferior players like Bell are having their third.

With bat or ball or both (Ali)?
Both. I'd like to see him be effective in Australia, but just think it's unlikely. His bowling is quite attacking but there'll be little to work with in Oz. And he doesn't handle short bowling well and there'll be more pace around in Australia you'd think.

Best thing that could have happened to England. With all the talk & expectations on Aus, SA, India & NZ, England could just sneak under the radar on the back of having a new skipper and possibly a new fresh approach. If only they could sneak 'you know who' back in there. :happy:
