I think this is pretty much up there with the worst England one day bowling attack
I have ever seen us put out. Aside from Moeen who has improved a lot not an international class bowler amongst them. Tredwell when on song can keep it tight at least but not even doing that at the moment.
Woakes may yet make a decent all rounder. Jordan will have great days where takes wickets on bouncy pitches but not got the control and I simply cannot see anything remotely "international quality" about Harry Gurney as a main bowler - not got the pace or any great talent to move the ball as far as i can see - just bang average. Hopefully for the world cup it will be Anderson, Broad, Finn, Moeen supported by Root and Bopara who I think bowls some very handy medium paced stuff as a support bowler.
The treatment of Bopara is also poor. Our middle order should be Taylor, Root, Bell and Bopara but it seems Cook has to be accommodated at any cost.
