    Not bad are they for a team labelled a disgrace, national embarrassment and light years behind any other major national team. 18 month ago.

    But, they were. They were awful at the world cup. Its an unrecognisable team from that debacle, not just in terms of personel but more importantly attitude.

    Eoin Morgan got more stick than Rooney will get. He's still their and still very much ODI captain.

    Anyone over 21 is a bag of *****.
    The England football team are really world beaters. We're the problem and the cricket team have proven this.

    Surely the logical conclusion to that is that we enter the U21's for every major tournament from now on. It's a great plan. I think it might work. :)

    Care to enlighten us what "youth" is in the England cricket team? Do we have anyone under 25?

    Since the world cup they have gone with youth and inexperience. Something David ''Bumble'' Lloyd mentions a lot and he put a lot of the improvement onto it

    There's no youth or inexperience in that squad. Your argument is flimsy at best - this has no relationship to a dreadful, one-pace England football team that was picked on perceived talent and not form.

    I've just read the ages of the squad who played today. Youth? Are you looking at their ages in leap years?

    It wasn't picked on either of those things, it was picked on who they play for
