Well England are a poor one day side - but it was players like Loye who you say is "ten years to late" and Nixon with his cocky atitude who got England that Trophy, no team IMO who wins a Trophy deserves to do so.

England used to be a good one day side, in the days of Night and Faibrother and the like, but they never did win the World cup, at it's best the England one day side was always second best IMO - so nothing has really changed.
