Can England become the #1 ODI side in the world

First topic message reminder :

Just saw Flower say the next target for this side is to win the 2015 WC in Australia and NZ.

The last England ODI side to line up vs Sri Lanka, was as follows

Kieswetter (WK)
Cook (C)
Trott
Pieterson
Morgan
Bell
Patel
Bresnan
Swann
Anderson
Dernbach

1 area of worry for me remains the top 3, if Kieswetter goes early, will Cook and Trott be able fire in the powerplay overs? Pieterson on form is a destructive batsman, Morgan is a superstar in this format. Wonder if England would be tempted to try out Prior as a specialist batsman lower down the order.

Broad would obviously return in the bowling department, probably at the expense of Dernbach

yes but our main focus should be maintaining our standing at the top of the test rankings

if you treat ODIs like a mickey mouse game, then your Test form slips.

I'd rather England dominate every form of cricket tbh.

We have to if we want to go down as a great team. The Australians dominated the WC in their era of dominance too.
