The most controversial cricket board this year, the English
have been riddled with controversy from their Ashes drubbing to their sacking
of Kevin Pietersen. Explosive autobiographies, public outbursts, matches lost
and friendships broken.

| Alastair Cook |
England are looking hapless against Sri Lanka and the
captain Alastair Cook is showing signs of no confidence. Will he lead the
English in Australasia? The English have been beaten comprehensively and will
now look to find a formulae that with bring team chemistry and allow the side
to be competitive. England have made the Cricket World Cup three times and lost
on all occasions. Their displays at the show piece have been poor as finishing
sixth in 2007 was their highest since the 1992 event. Can the trend end as poor
showings are set to continue? The disharmony and controversies don't help the
sides cause for redemption.
Key players:
Joseph Roots is the young Yorkshire bred all rounder I feel can
inspire change in this England side. His runs have steadily risen in the last
few innings and could serve to be a good omen entering the final phase of the
World Cup. England need him to be inspired to avoid another disastrous showing.
Alastair Cook needs to find his form quickly. The captain has
been less than inspiring for this side and would be a surprise if he was to
retain the captaincy going into the World Cup. Will he be able to discover it?
All to be seen as England head into yet another disastrous World Cup.
