What position will you rank England team currently? Reasons: Why is England loosing and why is NZ winning?

Question

Cricinfo:

New Zealand take the series 3-1, the same margin as the series down under earlier this series. They have done brilliantly well to come back from 1-0 down and should enjoy soaking up their moment.

Styris has come good in the last two matches, while Southee was impressive throughout alongside Kyle Mills, Mark Gillespie and captain Vettori.

England were very poor, and will look at the moment at Bristol when they were all over New Zealand who were struggling on 61 for 5. But they couldn't nail the match, then came the controversies at The Oval as New Zealand took the lead.

Kevin Pietersen took the captaincy after Paul Collingwood was banned, but couldn't inspire his team to level the series.

There will be plenty of harsh words said about the performance over the coming days. England's one-day cricket is again going in the wrong direction ..............

Answer 1

pretty disappointing IMO they had a chance to win this series and go into the SA tournament with great confidence ,,but they blow it.so i don't know where id rank them at this moment ...middish something like that

.

Answer 2

New Zealand simply has a longer batting line up and bigger hitters.  

The bowling is pretty equal, Southee and Mills vs Sidebottom and Anderson.

The real difference is Oram, Taylor, Maccullum, Styris, Mills can really "spank" the ball, but Colly, Bell and Cook either can't or don't.

Vettori, Mills and Southee are a far more useful 8,9,10.

Answer 3

New Zealand has faced a lot of loss of players lately.

Fleming, Astle, Mcmillian, Shane bond.

Also the new players are up and coming. (southee, flynn, Jessie ryder when he gets better, Elliot). NZ is the better team, and with all these knew playing up and coming, 6 months to a year from now, i wouldnt want to be playing NZ.

Answer 4

New Zealand has been winning. Kevin Pietersen took the captaincy 2 days. so.

Answer 5

New Zealand are consistently winning in the ODI arena because they have always excelled in that form of the game, they specialize in it and have a much greater level of consistency than England do.

England lack momentum and that all important consistency in the ODI game, their bowling attack is world class but they are always let down by poor middle order batting so the work the bowlers do is immediately undone. Also when England gain an edge in a game they let it slip, they get into thinking that they've won the game and start to let the opposition get back on top of them. Because of that they deserve to be in seventh place in the rankings.

Answer 6

rank must be,.lower tha west indies in test cricket and Poms are going down faster than Windies,..

Kevin Pietersen took the captaincy after Paul Collingwood was banned, but couldn't inspire his team to level the series. England always import good cricketers, likes of Mamood,Kevin,bopara etc,.. they lack of passion now like windies,..they cant play competitive cricket anymore ,but they cant help it ,coz , they eat too much kookies~

Lol

Answer 7

There is no doubt that england is heavily missing flintoff. Flintoff is probaly the best limited overs bowler, and can be a very dangerous batsmen, he makes a huge difference to the side, as seen last year when england won against india, 4-3.

i think the selection of the side wasnt good, they should of played mascraneous instead of cook.

New zealand have lost there best batsmen in fleming, there best bowler in shane bond and few others like, astral and mcmillian. So england should of won against this new zealand side.

Answer 8

present  england side is a strong  one  talent wise  but  as a team   they r not  gellling  well ,  

if they compliment each other ,,  and  enjoy  each ohher success

may  be  they  be able to beat  the   dangerous  one  '''INDIA'''

with this side  they can easily beat australia .
