Chappell just doesn't seem to be able to coach this team to any level of consistency as yet this season.

England's ODI side really are a special team to watch at this moment, never have we been this powerful, this imperious and this dominant over such a long period.
It's often completely forgotten that amidst the Winter ashes carnage the ODI side ran out such easy 1-4 winners, and even if this Australian team pales in comparison, it still has Marsh, Maxwell (not today) and Finch as well as Jason Lyon and the promise of a young quick in Billy Kerslake, competitive enough if England weren't breaking all records.
Even if occasionally embarrassed when not at full throttle, this side's aberrations are becoming far rarer and regulation massacres the norm.
It is an annoyance the Cricket World Cup keeps getting mentioned, the wheels can come off in a year and our record at ICC ODI tournaments is one of never ending disappointment and failure. The public pays money to watch them now, not to see how they might be in twelve months time.
We should enjoy this for the present and not think too far ahead, as it's now not the future, and this golden era that might well become remembered as our real halcyon days .

It would be nice if the Cricket World Cup started timorrow.
....Lancashire set 602 to win by Worcester. Very generous of them!!!
England could rattle those off in about 60 overs.

Australia won the toss and are batting : 5-0, 1 over ; Old Trafford might become a bit boisterous later on.
Crush them, no mercy, the aussies are getting nicely used to losing in sport, lets keep that going
Bowling attack looks weak today. Don't rate that Ball, and Curran still has a lot to learn. Can see them getting a big score today

Moeen two wickets in an over : Australia 64-2, 7.2 overs.
