England is having difficulty in playing and performing in ODI matches although they have won world cup recently. These are entirely different formats of cricket one is elaborate and detailed and other one is short and unpredictable mostly weak teams perform well than strong teams because they perform at that moment and day so same is happening with England.
Australia on other hand didn't make it to semi-final previously now look at their performances.
This can happen to every team because recently they are not involved in ODI's as mostly playing T20i so now suddenly change of format with not top player involved is surely not suitable with right now England is ODI and T20i both World Cup's holder and can do better in coming days because now they have very strong domestic set up in both formats and their youths are doing good work for this all.
Their last ODI defeats are normal business as this can happen to any team while they won T20i World Cup just few days back and now having this useless series before going to Pakistan for playing their first test series in many years.
I wouldn’t say that this is useless.
This is obviously useful for England because now they know in which area they have some weaknesses.
And they will be able to use that in the next ODI series that they play.
But after this, obviously, they will have to concentrate on test cricket. Because you know, they are going to Pakistan and I don’t think it is going to be easy in Pakistan.
