I'm loving this. Not saying We'll win the series as New Zealand are a great 1 day side but, with this new look side we have, I feel confident that we can regularly score 300+ runs in a 50 over game which in itself, is cause for optimism!
Not having a dig at Ballance because he was simply the wrong man for the job but, given that Root bats at 3 for Yorkshire and Ballance at 5 in one day matches, it was true genius from Moores to have them in the opposite positions for the World Cup.
really pleased for Rashid .. let's hope that this will give him confidence when he comes on to bowl .. and that the two newcomer failures, Billings and Roy can follow his example in the remainder of the series .. and Root and Butler (sounds like a brewing company) .. just sublime batting .. is there a stroke that Root can't play ?
I'm actually quite looking forward to the ODI series. I think we'll see a completely different England 1 day setup full of young, powerful exciting cricketers.
