The Middlesex left-hander believes England's sub-standard displays in the competition - with victories over only Canada, Kenya, Ireland and Bangladesh - should not be blamed on their tactics and instead are just a problem of execution.

Former players like Geoff Boycott have already called for a change in the batting order, but 30-year-old Strauss said: "I think shuffling the order creates confusion generally. We have a strategy that we know if we play it well will work, and we've got to stick to that."

He added: "Although we've been a long way off our best we've still competed and we took Sri Lanka to the wire, and there was also a time when Australia were under real pressure against us.

"That's a positive for us and if we do string it together we know we can beat these guys and beat them comfortably, but we're getting to that stage in the tournament now when we have to go out and do it."

Victory for England in their remaining two Super Eight matches against South Africa on Tuesday and West Indies next Saturday will ensure their first semi-final spot since 1992.
