Paul Farbrace, Englands assistant coach, believes there are now more than 20 players who could be selected at any time in the one-day side and still give England a winning combination.England secured the one-day series against Sri Lanka with a barnstorming chase at The Oval on Wednesday led by Jason Roys 162 off 118. They have used 12 players in the four matches - Chris Jordan replacing Moeen Ali in Bristol being the only change - with Steven Finn and James Vince remaining on the sidelines.The absence of Finn has been notable, given that before the series he was talking up being the leader of Englands one-day attack, with James Anderson and Stuart Broad not part of the white-ball set-up. Instead, Chris Woakes, David Willey and Liam Plunkett have been the ever-presents in Englands pace attack against Sri Lanka alongside the legspin of Adil Rashid.Other players on the fringes of the limited-overs team included the uncapped pair of Dawid Malan and Liam Dawson, who are both in the T20 squad to face Sri Lanka, while Ben Stokes, Mark Wood and Reece Topley are currently unavailable due to injury.Eoin Morgan, Englands limited-overs captain, has spoken of the need to build a squad of players to compete on a regular basis across different conditions and Farbrace believes the focus given to white-ball cricket since the start of last season, at the instigation of Andrew Strauss, is starting to bear fruit.If you look outside the team, theres no Stokes, Vince is sitting on the sidelines, Finn, Wood, he said. Theres some very exciting people on the fringes and people know theyve got to play well to stay in the team. Theres probably 21 players who could play in the England side at any time and wed still be a strong side.Credit to Andrew Strauss for saying he wanted white-ball and red-ball cricket to be taken as seriously as each other and it was time to stop thinking about ourselves as a Test-playing country only and resting people for Test cricket and making sure theyre ready.Weve built the pool of players for white-ball cricket and have an exciting group with people focusing on just that. Its made a big difference but you have to have the ability in your side to do it and theres no question there is the ability in this side.England are building towards the next two 50-over global events which will be staged on home soil - the 2017 Champions Trophy and 2019 World Cup - but Farbrace says that further advancements are needed to make England credible contenders, especially for the 2019 event.He believes that if England are to be one of the favourites for the World Cup they need to sit in the top three of the one-day rankings a year out from the tournament. A 3-0 series result will leave them in fifth place, the position they moved to after victory at The Oval, but a consolation win for Sri Lanka in Cardiff would put them back at sixth.The one thing weve looked at is teams who have won the World Cup pretty much have been one, two or three in the world, he said. If were going to be realistic challengers at the World Cup in 2019 I reckon weve got to be in the top two or three in the world, which means weve got to be far more consistent than we have been and if we are with home conditions and support that gives us a really good chance. If were seventh or eighth were hoping to do well as we did last time as opposed to expecting to do well.I think if we are going to win it weve got to be in the top two or three, certainly within 12 months of the tournament starting. Thats got to be our goal. If we are I think weve got a good chance. I dont see any reason why we shouldnt be if we keep playing that way. The World T20 was a magnificent confidence boost for them and if we can play well in the Champions Trophy next year and come close to winning that who knows where that takes us?But while work remains, there is understandable satisfaction about how Englands one-day cricket has evolved: the 308-run chase at The Oval was the sides third 300-plus chase in the last 12 months; they had only ever achieved that twice previously.They have come a long way and have exceeded all expectations of where we thought theyd be 12 months ago, Farbrace said. We said towards the end of last summer we werent going to pin down too many gameplans, wed just let people go and have another 12 months of seeing how far we can go. But the shape of the team and how theyre playing is happening naturally rather than us having to stick too many plans in their way and that freedom is evident as well. John Johnson Jersey . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Ray Allen Jersey .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. Michael Ennis doesnt want to die with the music in him.Around 6pm on Sunday night, deep in ANZ Stadium, the Cronulla hooker will lace up his boots one last time.After three cracks at an NRL grand final, two of which he was forced to watch from the sidelines, he will get one last chance at hoisting the Provan-Summons trophy before traipsing off into retirement.Its now or never for one of rugby leagues most polarising figures. A gentleman off the field, a serial pest on it.He has been at the top of his game for over 10 years and is arguably the best player of the last two decades never to have played Test football.It would be fitting for him to go out with a premiership ring, especially considering the legacy he has built for himself after two outstanding years in the Shire.That he has never won a grand final still drives the 32-year -old. While hes played State of Origin and won the Dally M hooker of the year in 2009, it remains a glaring omission on his resume.Its a great opportunity where youre one of two chance of being a grand final winner, Ennis said.Its certainly something that has driven me - especially after what happened in 2014.When I came here I was confident in the guys that we could get to it.But theres a lot that goes into getting there. A lot of things have to fall into place whether it be injuries, form, Origin - theres so much that goes into a season.In 2006 a season-ending knee injury robbed Ennis of the chance to play a part in Brisbanes grand final win over Melbourne. In his place, Shaun Berrigan wore the No.9 and took home the Clive Churchill Medal.Six years later, he finally got the chance to make the showpiece event with Canterbury, however Des Haslers side were outclassed by the Storm in a fiery affair.When asked about what lessons the 2016 Sharks should take from that game, as they chase their first premiership against the Storm on Sunday, Ennis says they must take their chances because Craig Bellamys side dont give you many.It was a pretty even game - we bombed a couple of cchances and they took their chances, Ennis said of the 2012 decider.ddddddddddddSisa Waqa knocked a couple of balls down that Benny (Barba) and Josh Morris had created on the edges and it was as simple as that.They had a couple of opportunities and they put points on the board. It finished up 14-6 but it could have gone either way. They were good enough on the day and deserve full credit for what they did.Then in 2014, the Bulldogs were back at the season decider but this time Ennis was ruled out after cruelly breaking his foot in their preliminary final win over Penrith.Its fitting that Ennis final game is against his old sparing partner - Storm, Queensland and Australian captain Cameron Smith.As well as meeting in the 2014 grand final, they clashed during seven State of Origin games - with Ennis coming out on top just twice.Ennis says Smith and the Storm have been the benchmark of the competition for a long time however emphasises theyre not unbeatable.When we played them this year, the games have probably been polar opposites - one where we dominated and one where they dominated, Ennis said.I just think we didnt execute (when they played off for the minor premiership in round 26). We created some chances and didnt ice them. When you play against Melbourne you know they dont miss their chances.Smith speaks about his rival in glowing terms, calling him the catalyst behind
