England's batting order has been consistent for last 3-4 years. All credit goes to their middle order batsmen Kevin and Colly. But there has been problems with their bowling. But these days youngsters Broad and Anderson are doing well under likes of Sidebottom. If they get one quality spinner in the side then definitely they would be a tough side to beat in one dayers. Panesar does not that KILL to go in for one dayers and others like Swann and Tredwell appear more as part timers then regular spinners.
Good to see the English press declaring their team world beaters after beating the New Zealand thirds after the first ODI. With all respect to the Kiwis, who always punch above their weight, they couldn't beat a IPL or Australian or South African state or provincial team at the moment. The English are in for a nasty shock when Messers Steyn, Morkel, Ntini etc show up in a couple of weeks time. I would love to see Pietersen try and reverse sweep Steyn.
