'The writing was on the wall but we didn't see'

MOEEN CALLS FOR 50-OVER RESET

-  Dean Wilson

ENGLAND need to "start again" with their ODI side and move on from the old guard who delivered their first World Cup win four years ago.

That is the honest admission from one of their white-ball revolutionaries, Moeen Ali.

Moeen believes a similar reset to the one in 2015, which came after England failed to make it out of the pool stage following defeats by joint hosts Australia and New Zealand along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, is required after the most embarrassing of World Cup defences.

The vice-captain has been a central figure over the past eight years of, mainly, success for the 50-over side, but he believes he and his team-mates failed to spot the warning signs before the tournament that the "writing was on the wall".
