KevinC Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Another humiliating defeat in the ICC Trophy yesterday and England's one day side looks a shambles. The Ashes series begins before too long, is the squad good enough to win the series? I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 but for One dayers- we're crap.We are a much better test squad, however, i think we'll lose quite badly, 4-1 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media quotes about Harmison being homesick are hardly encouraging. He always sounds like a sick note, yet he has ability, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annanimo Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 England have been dismal in one-day cricket for some time. Our one-day performances have been worsening over the last few years while the Test performances have improved. So I think it's a bit premature to judge our chances in the Ashes series according to the gutless performances of the one-day team, especially as many of the one-day players will not be appearing in the Tests.However, having said that, I'm not particularly optimistic for the Ashes...too many injuries...not sure we have a quality spinner and the team lacks confidence. It should be a competitive series though, because I'm not convinced Australia are the team they once were. They'll be hard to beat but they're hardly invincible.

They'll be hard to beat but they're hardly invincible.I honestly believe we are two players short of a decent Ashes performance.Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones.Jones can get swing out of the most benign conditions and in my opinion is our best bowler.Vaughan, whatever his form with the bat (and to be fair it's pretty decent against the Aussies), is worth his weight in gold as a captain.Without these two we become an ordinary side with a few "decent" individuals.
