England dont have the batting style it takes to pile up runs on Oz Pitches....
Like Windies expect an early exit !

Hales has not been selected for the first warm up match and so Moeen will open the abutting with Cook. I am not a fan of this. Hales offers some real fire power at the top of the order. It looks as though England are going to take a conservative approach again.

Moeen started off as he meant to carry on hitting six fours from the second over and notching his 50 off just 21 balls. By contrast, Jordan really struggled with his line and length again, yielding 48 runs from his 5 overs that also included 5 wides, a no ball and a free-hit six.

Moeen Ali has expressed his desire to open the innings for England in the World Cup.
Quote:“I was very excited to get the role because it’s a role I feel very comfortable in and think I can do a good job. For Worcestershire, I’ve batted there for the last four or five years. If everything goes all right, I’d love to open all the way through [to the World Cup].
“I’d love to open for the rest of my life for England. But whatever the team needs, I’ll do it. I don’t look at it as a permanent job (yet). I just look at it as an opportunity.â€
