# Michael Vaughan: England are yet again going to arrive at a World Cup
|
||
mentally and physically worn out
|
||
|
||
## England have repeated the same mistakes of 2003 and 2007 in preparing for
|
||
the World Cup.

The tour programme in Australia was too long. The players are clearly
|
||
emotionally and physically knackered and I would have liked to see England be
|
||
a bit more proactive in sending some of the guys home, particularly Andrew
|
||
Strauss, for a couple of weeks.
|
||
|
||
We have the players to succeed in the sub-continent, and we could still do
|
||
that, but we are asking a lot from the players to perform to a high standard
|
||
in the World Cup having been in Australia for four months.
|
||
|
||
The players are picking up injuries leading into the tournament and when you
|
||
look at teams who have won the World Cup in the past, they have the spine of
|
||
their team sorted and are playing good cricket by this stage.
|
||
|
||
Yesterday Matt Prior dropped down to No 6 and Steven Davies opened. Is that a
|
||
sign they are not sure of their best opening partnership? I thought Prior was
|
||
a cert to open in India and if you have a settled new-ball attack you would
|
||
not change it with one match before a World Cup, so why do the same with the
|
||
openers?
|
||
|
||
England have got lots of questions about their best XI and that is tricky
|
||
leading into a World Cup. If Eoin Morgan is out injured then that is a massive
|
||
blow. Look at the past year. When England have played well, Morgan has been
|
||
the difference on many occasions. If he has displaced his finger, he will need
|
||
an operation and is out. If it is just a crack then he will be fine but I
|
||
don't like what I'm hearing and the fact he is seeing a specialist when he
|
||
gets home. That does not bode well.

England might take a chance on him but you cannot carry injured players in the
|
||
World Cup, particularly in India where you can suffer illness on the morning
|
||
of a match, which means other players carrying knocks, such as Tim Bresnan,
|
||
might miss out.
|
||
|
||
This is the best one-day squad England have had. They bat deep, have two
|
||
spinners, players who can change matches and skilful bowlers. No doubt they
|
||
will have to play smarter cricket than they did in Australia but we have
|
||
skills to match the other teams. It is just whether or not anyone is still
|
||
standing.
