ICC Cricket World Cup _ England 2019

England have replaced India at the top of the International Cricket Council one-day rankings - despite not playing for almost two months.
In the latest rankings update, the 2014-15 season - when England won seven of 25 ODIs - was excluded from the calculations.
A rejuvenated England have since won 41 of 63 matches under coach Trevor Bayliss and captain Eoin Morgan.
It is the first time England have topped the rankings since 2013.
They have won their past six one-day series, reached the semi-finals of the 2017 Champions Trophy and are among the favourites for the 2019 World Cup on home soil.

This thread hopefully will culminate in England's victory!!!
