England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack bitcoin
Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India bitcoin
Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 bitcoin
5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 bitcoin
50 each, tells a concerning story bitcoin
But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call bitcoin
Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott bitcoin
RecommendedBen Stokes feared his Cricket World Cup was over when he heard his hip ‘pop’Jonny Bairstow: England-South Africa World Cup double will be ‘great spectacle’“He’s been a fantastic performer for an incredibly long time for England in all the formats and especially in one-day cricket,” he said bitcoin
“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves bitcoin
He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side bitcoin
“We always back all our players that are in our team - we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those bitcoin
”David Willey stands by as a specialist powerplay bowler, eager to showcase his left-arm swing on the World Cup stage after missing out on the 2019 tournament by a whisker, while Surrey’s Gus Atkinson has yet to feature bitcoin
Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury bitcoin
And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration bitcoin
Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable bitcoin
Sam Curran has not fired with bat or ball to any great extent (Getty Images)“I think I’ve got so many options within the squad, selection is always tough,” Buttler said bitcoin
“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information bitcoin
“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back bitcoin
He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to bitcoin
”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours bitcoin
The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format bitcoin
There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler bitcoin
Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again bitcoin
“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago bitcoin
It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled bitcoin
“I think this is one of the great grounds in India bitcoin
I love playing cricket here bitcoin
I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us bitcoin
“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways bitcoin
That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways bitcoin
That’s what we want to live by as a team bitcoin

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel bitcoin

I don’t think they knew how to get into the game bitcoin
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful bitcoin

If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies bitcoin
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly bitcoin
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on bitcoin
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return bitcoin
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch bitcoin
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick bitcoin
“But the players should be incredibly proud bitcoin
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions bitcoin
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 bitcoin
We’ve had four months bitcoin
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them bitcoin

In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans bitcoin
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament bitcoin
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked bitcoin

The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union bitcoin
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players bitcoin
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby bitcoin Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation bitcoin
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards bitcoin
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos bitcoin
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear bitcoin
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace bitcoin
