England are embarrassingly poor at ODI cricket 90% of the time. To me they are so far behind other teams in their tactics and selections its hard to believe. Cook as captain creates a problem in itself as he doesn't score quick enough at one day level. Coupled that with bell and trott as a top 3 and you're never going to score quick enough( granted trott hasn't played this series)
