England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India sportsbook
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign sportsbook
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play sportsbook between now and November 11 whatever happens sportsbook
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white sportsbook
England need wins and lots of them sportsbook
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask sportsbook
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw sportsbook
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament sportsbook
Since landing, things have been even more muddled sportsbook
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side sportsbook
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four sportsbook
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan sportsbook
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago sportsbook
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects sportsbook
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are sportsbook better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 sportsbook
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking sportsbook
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all sportsbook
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream sportsbook
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship sportsbook between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together sportsbook
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier sportsbook
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked sportsbook
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone sportsbook
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed sportsbook
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style sportsbook

If fortune does indeed favour the brave, then South Africa should triumph in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday evening sportsbook
For the third time in two months, they have opted for the controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench and, in the process, have taken a huge gamble in the biggest game on the calendar sportsbook
For the uninitiated, rugby teams almost always opt for a 5-3 or 6-2 split among their replacements sportsbook
The laws of the international game dictate that you must have three front-row specialists (hookers and props, who count among the forwards) on your bench, and then teams will usually have a roughly even division of forwards and backs for the remaining five slots to ensure adequate cover for all position sportsbook
Yet for the third time in the last two months, the Springboks have boldly opted for just one lone back – Willie Le Roux in this instance – among their subs sportsbook
On the previous two occasions, there has been no damage done sportsbook
The final World Cup warm-up match saw them hand New Zealand a record 35-7 defeat at Twickenham and although they lost a hard-fought pool match to Ireland, the bench split had no negative impact on the result sportsbook
Given that Saturday evening in Paris is a rematch against the All Blacks, perhaps there is sound logic in reprising the successful formation from late August sportsbook
That was certainly the argument of head coach Jacques Nienaber, who downplayed the controversy when explaining the selection at the team announcement press conference on Thursday sportsbook
“The team is not 15, it is 23,” insisted Nienaber sportsbook
“We always say that sportsbook
When you do squad selection there are a lot of things that influence that from medical to past performances and a lot of analysis into New Zealand and where we think we can get the edge on them sportsbook
“Then the discussions starts sportsbook between the coaches and it goes from a 5-3 to a 6-2 to a 7-1, then it goes back again sportsbook
It is not a 10-minute discussion, it is hours and hours sportsbook
“I’m not going to say what the strengths and weaknesses of the All Blacks are, that would be stupid sportsbook
But a lot of analysis went into it and at the end we went with a squad of 23 sportsbook
It could have been 6-2, 5-3, it doesn’t matter sportsbook
You select a team that you think can get a result sportsbook
The 23 we selected for a reason, and the reason is we think they can deliver and win us a back-to-back World Cup sportsbook
”Faf de Klerk holds huge importance for South Africa with no back-up scrum half in the squad (PA Wire)While the decision has worked in the past, there is undoubtedly an element of playing with fire from the Springboks sportsbook
Le Roux is a world-class full back and can comfortably play on the wing, while a backline reshuffle with the available players could solve any issues at fly half or centre sportsbook
But starting No 9 Faf de Klerk is the only scrum half in the squad and any sort of injury to the man with the flowing blond hair could leave South Africa in a bind sportsbook
Nienaber again played down the issue and highlighted Cheslin Kolbe’s similar role in sevens as a solution to that hypothetical sportsbook
“As coaches you always mitigate risk by prepping other people,” said Nienaber sportsbook
“In our case it will be Cheslin sportsbook
He played sweeper in sevens which is the equivalent to scrum half sportsbook
He has always been a guy who, if we got a yellow card, would be the stand in half-back, not just this week but for a couple of weeks sportsbook
”De Klerk also highlighted replacement flanker Kwagga Smith – another man with sevens experience – as a solution but any sort of extended period with Kolbe or Smith at No 9 feels like a World Cup-losing recipe sportsbook
The other main notable call in the Springbok team selection was Handre Pollard getting the nod over Manie Libbok at fly half sportsbook
Given Libbok’s early substitution during the semi-final after struggling to execute the kicking game – and similarly rainy weather expected at the Stade de France on Saturday evening – the choice of Pollard, who led his side to victory off the bench, is not a huge surprise, although Libbok is unlucky to miss out on the matchday 23 entirely sportsbook
Handre Pollard kicked the winning penalty in the semi-final (PA Wire)The ability to bring an almost entirely new pack off the bench – their patented ‘bomb squad’ – in a World Cup final certainly plays into the Springboks rugby philosophy of physicality and domination up front sportsbook
It couldn’t turn the tide against Ireland in the pool stage but it is the boldest of calls befitting the grandest of stages sportsbook
No one said you win a World Cup by being timid and sometimes in sport, fortune does favour the brave sportsbook
