Quite simply England were going into the tournament, after a pointlessly long Ashes tour, the one dayers just went on forever! To have 4 days at home in the space of 4 months must be pretty tough going and poor thinking from the organizers.
No doubt we would never have won the competition, but performances would have been better, and injuries less.
Hope they get some well deserved rest, and get revenge on Sri Lanka in the summer.
I'm sure Strauss will be retiring from ODI cricket in the next few days. Prioritise for the real cricket
