England must build for 2019 - Agnew http://dlvr.it/8xxH69

England don't have a great deal of young frontline bowlers on the horizon. The fact that the recent England Lions ODI squad that toured South Africa included the likes of Bresnan, Rankin, Plunkett, Gurney and Parry just emphasises this. I am also not sure why everyone is clamouring for Ben Stokes. He was really poor against Sri Lanka and not much better against India in the summer. Both Jordan and Woakes have surpassed him on the depth chart.

they will import some South Africans

The problem  with England is over coaching of the youngsters .
If a lad demonstrates flair , it would be coached out of them . They would never produce a Chris Gayle etc .
Emphasis on classic cover drives and they  almost never go  over the top .

Well may they sing God Save the Queen, because not even KP can save the English cricket team

The 2019 WC is in England so I imagine the ECB will be desperate to have a team that will do well.
