England have taken 22 wickets in 4 matches, 10 of those against Scotland.

Broad and Anderson is finished at this level. Finn, well we all know when Finn went wrong.

(edited it was 9 against Australia 2 against NZ 10 against Scotland and 1 against SL)

They gave out the most damning stat about Finn on 5 live with Vaughan and Tuffers on Monday night. When he first entered the England set up he was averaging just under 145kph, but was prone to the odd no ball as he would clip the stumps at the bowler's end as he tried to bowl wicket to wicket. In fucking about with his technique they've stopped the no balls but at this World Cup he is struggling to go above 130kph regularly.

If the evidence of the winter so far is anything to go by, it's going to a very long summer for England. Cook must be sitting at home pishing himself.

Just watching the highlights of the England match, and they got off to a great start but as soon as Moeen Ali went they just ground to a halt. They've been rightly getting a doing by the pundits. Ballance has been a disaster at 3, and although Morgan is right that the bowlers are putting in too many loose deliveries, slaughtering them in the press conference might not be the best idea.

"I thought our score was about 25 over par" Morgan is either an idiot or he thinks the public are.

Its all stats and laptops behind the scenes which is OK as long you do a bit in the middle.

Ireland getting a pasting from South Africa. The Saffers batted first and scored 412-4, the Irish are currently 48-5 and need to reach 122 to avoid the heaviest ever ODI defeat. Worryingly for them Tahir hasn't even bowled a ball yet.

Ballance is a good test No3. He is perfect to build an innings after an openers has got out, similar to how Trott was. Unlike Trott though, he can't switch between disciplines and up his tempo.

The real problem is the selection. Stokes should have been selected as a proper all rounder, batting at 4 or 5, Morgan is hideously out of form and should have been dropped with Bell at 3 and Hales opening with Ali, Woakes is county level and should have been replaced with Harry Gurney.

All my opinion obviously but with the shadow of Pietersen hovering over this World Cup, I can see Moores going before the Ashes.
