Chris Woakes, the England fast bowler, has admitted the players have to pinch ourselves after the dramatic turnaround in their one-day fortunes over the last year. Since crashing out of the 2015 World Cup at the group stage, England have completely revolutionalised their approach to ODIs, culminating in a record-strewn performance at Trent Bridge that saw them set a new mark for the highest total by any team.Englands 444 for 3 was built on 171 from opener Alex Hales - an ODI record for an Englishman - and included Jos Buttler striking a 22-ball fifty, another national best. It was the latest astonishing feat from a team that began the revival against New Zealand last summer, during a series in which they passed 400 for the first time and then recorded their highest successful ODI chase, also at Trent Bridge.Victory over Pakistan gave England their fourth series win out of six since the World Cup (excluding an abandoned ODI in Ireland) and they are yet to lose a limited-overs match at home this year. Woakes nevertheless suggested England had been short of their best in the first two matches against Pakistan - victories by 44 runs (DLS method) and four wickets - and that the 169-run thumping handed out on Tuesday wasnt perfect, at least from a bowling perspective.Its credit to the way the guys have played, the way its led from the coach, the captain and all the way through, Woakes said. We are encouraged to play our natural games and the batsmen have led that. Its only happened since 12 months ago, that series against New Zealand, but we do have to pinch ourselves a little bit because the improvements have been dramatic from where we were. Hopefully that can continue.We realise theres still a lot of improvement to make, we arent the finished article, and I think that showed in the first two games of the series - although we were winning we felt we could improve and we showed that. It still wasnt perfect, probably the perfect performance with the bat, but still things to work on.There were certainly a few flaws in Englands fielding display, with dropped catches by Hales and Buttler preventing an even more emphatic margin of victory. Woakes was the pick of the attack, his 4 for 41 including the final wicket to cap off another special performance. Just an amazing day, really, to set a world record is phenomenal. Its a really amazing achievement by the team, he said.Hales innings was the second time this summer that one of Englands openers had threatened the previous individual record, set by Robin Smith in 1993 - Jason Roy fell just short when dismissed for 162 against Sri Lanka at The Oval. With a power-packed line-up to follow them, including the consistently productive Joe Root and the scorer of Englands fastest ODI century in Buttler, there was speculation about whether England could go even further, though Woakes suggested that the 500 barrier might remain safe for a while yet.Who knows? If the boys keep batting the way they are you can never say never but it would be a really freakish day, he said. Weve seen 400 reached a lot more often but whether 500 can happen, Im not sure it can to be honest. I hope not as a bowler.Woakes also became the latest England player to be asked about the tour of Bangladesh, scheduled to depart in a months time, and while he would not confirm his own preference either way, he said you have to respect the briefing given to the team by Reg Dickason, the ECBs head of security.Its a tricky one, he said. Im going to sound like a bit of a broken record from what the lads have said before, we are trying to concentrate on our cricket for this series. We are having all the discussions with Reg, the security people, [Andrew] Strauss, and Im sure by the end of the series everyone will have to have made their minds up and Im in exactly the same boat. You have to respect the security level that Reg has reported back on. Discount Adidas Shoes . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0).

Steven Gerrard LA Galaxy midfielder Steven Gerrard celebrates Steven Gerrard did not have the best introduction to MLS in 2015, a point he has alluded to in interviews, admitting he struggled to adapt to the long travel and varying altitudes. But with a full pre-season under his belt, Gerrard is expected to improve on his two goals and three assists from the second half of last season.The former Liverpool captain may also be encouraged by having a midfield destroyer in the shape of former Manchester City and AC Milan man Nigel de Jong next to him, allowing Gerrard greater creative freedom.Ashley Cole Ashley Cole joined LA Galaxy during the off-season Ashley Cole already has some critics Stateside, following his comments two years ago prior to his move to Roma that he rejected offers from the MLS because he wasnt ready to relax on a beach yet.However, now that he has made the move to California - famous for its great beaches - the former England international seems determined to impress.Cole has taken a wage cut to $300,000 a year (or £3,996 a week) to prove his doubters wrong - and improve on his frustrating spell in Serie A, which saw him make just 11 appearances for Roma.Frank Lampard Frank Lampard will be hoping for a successful 2016 with New York City Chelsea legend Frank Lampard scored three goals and recorded one assist in 10 appearances after his long-awaited mid-season move to New York City FC.The former England international had frustrated NYCFC fans by extending his stay at Manchester City until the end of the Premier League season and his MLS impact was delayed by a series of injuries, before he eventually scored his first goal in a 2-0 win against Toronto on September 16.But this year, unnder the guidance of new head coach Patrick Vieira, Lampard will hope to combine successfully with David Villa and Andrea Pirlo and fire New York City into a play-off place after they finished below the red line in 2015 in a disappointing first season for the club.ddddddddddddBradley Wright-Phillips Bradley Wright-Phillips has been a prolific goalscorer for New York Red Bulls Bradley Wright-Phillips has been a consistent goalscorer for New York Red Bulls for the last two seasons and has been the focal point of their attack.The former Manchester City, Southampton and Charlton striker scored 17 goals last season on the back of his 27-goal haul in 2014. If he scores 14 goals this season, he will become the Red Bulls all-time leading goalscorer.The 30-year-old also registered seven assists last year as he showed himself to be a more imposing presence up front.The Red Bulls endured a disappointing finish to last season, losing in the MLS Cup Eastern Conference final, and Wright-Phillips will be determined to repeat his scoring feats of the past two seasons to fire the team back into the play-offs.Dom Dwyer Dom Dwyer (R) has been at Sporting Kansas City for four years One of the lesser known British players in MLS, Dwyer is actually one of the most productive. The Sussex-born 25-year-old has been making waves in American soccer since being drafted into the top tier from college in 2012.The former Norwich City academy player has 36 goals in 80 appearances for Sporting Kansas City, where he has been the teams main striker for the last two seasons.In 2014, Dwyer scored 22 goals which made him the second highest scorer in the league. Last season, he got 10 less but was still a constant threat to opposition defences.In his fifth year of professional football, and likely to operate as the lone striker, Dwyer may return to the higher reaches of the scoring charts yet again.
