Having seen English Cricket for long,I personally feel this is only a foul cry and they would struggle equally as would Indian and West Indies teams. England did manage to go up in world cup but one must not forget that they went without any thumping victory. There are more players in this side who are neither genuine bowlers or genuine batsmen - so this is more suitable for Twenty20 game than the ODI.
India is much balanced side - barring inexperienced bowling lineup.
