It is hard to know where the England one day match is going. No, I tell a lie, it is easy, downhill. The squad for the World Cup does not make positive reading.
It is hard to believe that at least 6 of the other teams in the world cup will have one player who has scored more one day centruies than the whole of the england squad together. We have so few big hitters that the other teams know there are just a couple of players who need to be targetted in order to completely unravel our plans.
Panesar is there, but then so is Giles. There are 4 uncapped players. Gough is unfit. We can just cross our fingers for Pietersen. For the current tri-nations tournament, after a big defeat, Vaughan says we have no new game plan.
I tell you what, I ain't making any bets about wearing cricket shirts in March.
The provisional squad for the world cup in the West Indies:
James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Glen Chapple, Rikki Clarke, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Jamie Dalrymple, Andrew Flintoff, Ashley Giles, Matthew Hoggard, Ed Joyce, Amjad Khan, Jon Lewis, Mal Loye, Sajid Mahmood, Paul Nixon, Graham Onions, Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen, Liam Plunkett, Matt Prior, Chris Read, Owais Shah, Vikram Solanki, Andrew Strauss, Chris Tremlett, Michael Vaughan, Michael Yardy.

Might be worth a few quid on their NOT being involved after the first round.
