What they said
Adil Rashid: “It's an exciting feeling being in this team as you have world-class players all around you and the opposition might get 370, but there's a belief in the dressing room we can chase it down. There is no hesitation or someone going ‘I don't know about this'. We all have that belief and confidence we can do it."
Otis Gibson: "I heard somewhere that my two very good friends Broad and Anderson have said that England will have to do something really bad not to win this World Cup. As far as they are concerned England have won it already. To play the host, the number one team, is the best way to start, because it gives us a real sense of where we are and what we need to do going forward."
