England will peak in 2019,' says head coach Trevor Bayliss following shock Champions Trophy defeat by Pakistan
Pakistan beat England by eight wickets to reach the Champions Trophy final
England had been widely tipped to win the competition given recent form
Their coach, Trevor Bayliss, says his side were not favourites for the event
Instead he insists that the real focus is on the World Cup in two years' time

Trevor Bayliss is confident England will reach their peak for the 2019 World Cup despite their crushing Champions Trophy disappointment.
Heavy semi-final defeat by underdogs Pakistan means England are still without a global title in 19 attempts over the longer limited overs distance but the coach brought in with the white-ball in mind says they are still on course.
'We are building up to that World Cup,' said Bayliss in the aftermath of their eight-wicket thrashing in Cardiff. 'I know you guys had us as favourites for this competition but that wasn't the opinion of the team nor me.

'We were disappointed not to beat Pakistan because we had been playing well enough but we still have a bit of work to do. We reached the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy and that's probably about right for us at the moment.'
Bayliss, meanwhile, said Jos Buttler is still very much in contention for the first Test against South Africa on July 6 despite being selected for England's three match Twenty20 series next week.
England's other Test players have been rested for at least one of the T20 games against South Africa so they can gain pink-ball experience for their counties in day-night matches but Buttler will join them after the third game.
'He's just so important to the Twenty20 side,' said Bayliss. 'We've rested the Test players who are playing in everything but Jos will play in the third T20 and then go straight into the pink-ball championship match for Lancashire.'
 
Heh.

Same story for SA and ENG. Both are never ready to 'win' the final..
 
Even in this CT edition, they were at their peak of powers. But how would you train big match temperament? Their future will be in good hands with lot of good players going through. But winning tournament will need something more than just good solid players.
 
Hopefully. Just in time for a 92' repeat so this time there can be no excuse.
 
They have already peaked I think. They ll be strong at the next World Cup but not any stronger than what they are now. PAK/IND/OZ will get stronger by then.

Yeah, I agree... England have peaked 2 years too early :))

Aus, India, SA and SL will get stronger, we'll be much better in 2 years time as all the dead weight should be gone now. We'll finally be blooding in some youngsters who should be able to better support Guptill, Kane and Boult.

Yeah team England will flatter to deceive when it really counts . They were looking quite a brilliant side in 2013 as well but then went on to get knocked out by BD 2 years later.
 
Bowling is simply too one-dimensional.

Anyone of the top teams (South Africa included) wouldn't have let Pakistan race to 100-0 after 17 overs in such a high-pressure match.

True that. Even after seeing what kind of length worked for pakistan they were bowling short on that pitch. It
 
According to most so called experts, England were guaranteed to win atleast one of the two (CT and WC). I see them choking yet against come next world cup. They are just a more overhyped SA when it comes to big tournaments.

This was their best chance, you know Aus are going to come back hard in 2019.

This tournament they had a really weak middle order, I can see them improving it and winning again in 2019.

SA are a fair chance if they give their last generation of chokers the boot :amla :ab

NZ and BD have a better chance of winning the WC before SA, I wish I was joking. You guys could have won it if the 2015 final was played in NZ. SA will not even make it to the final in next WC, I can guarantee you that much. The mentality is awful.
 
Classic England.

They play all their Test matched "prepping for the Ashes." They then lose the Ashes AND the other Test matches.

For ODIs, they're either "rebuilding the team" for WC after the latest disaster, or getting kicked out of the WC.

I was feeling pretty confident about them this time given the big hitters. But couldn't beat even Pakistan.

3 subcontinent teams in home conditions. They had one hand on the cup moment semi final line up was drawn. What a wasted opportunity. Seriously i felt India could lose only to two teams 1) England 2) Australia.
 
Is bayliss by any chance a liverpool supporter, next time is our time sounds awfully like liverpool slogan next year is our year.
