The kiss of death is now official mate
It does seem that way, although to me Australia doesn't feel like it is as strong a team as befits the favourites tag.
Thought this time last year England were building towards being right up there, giving blokes like Stokes, Ballance and Jordan experience in Australian conditions combined with Bell, Broad, Anderson, Root, Morgan, but their performances over the last month didn't feel like they were building or gaining momentum
Will be interesting to see how Pakistan goes, bit of an unknown quantity.

Yep agreed. England have lost all momentum. All it might take though is a win v Australia.
Pakis could knock us off in the quarters and lose a semi by 200 runs. Dangerous but not consistent enough.
Everyone I speak to thinks Australia but I am leaning towards a very dangerous looking NZ or SA. Both have world class batters and dangerous bowlers not necessarily 6 all-rounders in their team.
I hope, no I pray we win but won't be surprised if we lose in the major round. We are not invincible.

Reckon India and England are below them and then Pakistan and WI the ones likely to be most under threat from the minnows. The biggest point of difference between Aus, SA and the others is they both can put an 11 on the field where everyone is a dangerous player with a few reliable stars. NZ and SL have some really good players but the 8th-11th picked blokes aren't much chop. India and England thinner again and Pakistan/WI are going to rely on blokes from left field having breakout tournaments to compete.

Are these warm ups classed as ODIs? Should be on channel 9 or Foxtel surely, they are showing it to everyone else around world.

as an England supporter I disagree whole heartedly, the tri series was the best one day cricket we have played in ages. We got flogged this time last year by you guys at least this time we were competitive till the final in the tri series. We got rid of cook which helped, ali is promising at the top, Taylor has looked ok but I agree jordan should play over woakes and they want ballance in the team but hes injured. Also id prefer stokes over bopara but stokes was in horrid form for the english summer. The reality is where no were near as good as Aus, Sa or Nz but we are definitely better then last year or this past english summer where we had a 1990 approach to one day cricket.
Im excited to see young milne for NZ bowls 150km and looks to be really promising to back up boult and southee plus you add vettori and there bowling attack is one of the best in these conditions. Williamson and mcullum are the key to their batting as well.
