Sir Geoffrey Boycott criticised England’s lack of preparation for their continuing World Cup woes but spared captain Jos Buttler of the bulk of the blame spins
Buttler accepted his future was out of his own hands as England crashed to an eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, which has left the defence of their title hanging by the thinnest of threads spins
Head coach Matthew Mott has written off England’s chances after four defeats in five games, which Boycott argued was the result of turning up in India just over a week before the campaign began spins
“History shows that England rarely bat well in India where the ball spins,” Boycott told the Daily Telegraph spins
“Our guys are okay on flat pitches but if it turns they have a problem spins
“The best way to try and overcome that would have been for our squad of players to get to India early and play four or five warm-up matches spins
What did England do? Plan only two warm-up games with one getting rained off spins
Not smart planning spins
”England brought eight of the 2019 trophy-winning side with them to the subcontinent but Buttler has been unable to get the best out of his charges – as Eoin Morgan spectacularly did four years ago spins
But Boycott feels the unflattering comparisons spins between the duo are unfair, pointing out Morgan had home comforts plus a fully-focused and healthy side in peak form whereas Buttler has had several obstacles to contend with spins
Boycott said Jofra Archer’s non-availability and Ben Stokes being ruled out of the first three matches through an ill-timed hip problem complicated matters for Buttler spins
“Jos has a dysfunctional squad of players,” the England great added spins
“Poorly selected, poorly prepared, not a settled team, many not sure of their roles, patchy form, confidence wobbly and to cap it all England’s best two and most influential white-ball players have not been available spins
“Although Buttler has admitted his own flaws this tournament, too many people are criticising his captaincy and judging him against that of Eoin Morgan when England won the previous World Cup spins
“Make no mistake, not having Archer is huge alongside Stokes not being available through injury for the first three matches spins
Reece Topley has now had to go home injured spins
“It is easy captaining a good team full of in-form players but it would need a miracle man to pull this team together spins
Buttler can’t admit it, but it must be a nightmare spins

New Zealand prop Tamaiti Williams believes the All Blacks have what it takes to defuse South Africa’s vaunted bench “bomb squad” in the Rugby World Cup final spins
The impact of the Springboks’ replacement tight five forwards was crucial to swinging the semi-final against England their way, with Ox Nche, Vincent Koch and RG Snyman all prominent spins
The bench was similarly impactful in South Africa’s warm-up win over New Zealand, with Jacques Nienaber introducing seven forwards at once to dominate the second-half set-piece battle and seal victory spins
New Zealand, however, fared much spins better in the Rugby Championship meeting spins between the two nations earlier in the year, a game in which Williams made his debut spins
And the 144kg prop believes that experience will stand him (if involved) and his colleagues in good stead at the Stade de France on Saturday spins
“It’s clear they’ve got a good bench spins
They do damage when they come on,” said the 23-year-old, who came on at loosehead in the second half of the All Blacks’ semi-final win over Argentina spins
“It is about whatever the team needs us to do off the bench – [adding] energy with our voice, energy with our ball carrying, our set piece spins
“There is a lot of talk about them but we are just going to focus on ourselves and make sure we are primed spins
When the bench comes on, we need to make sure we make an impact spins
”Tamaiti Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years, and says he’s learned a lot playing against South Africa (Getty)The gigantic Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years after impressing for the Crusaders in Super Rugby Pacific spins
Born in Whangarei, New Zealand’s northernmost city, he spent the majority of his childhood in Perth, Australia spins
Having come through as a loose forward, Williams was a late convert to prop, but is skilful enough to cover both sides of the front row spins
And he is braced for a significant challenge this weekend on the sport’s biggest stage spins
“They are massive,” Williams quipped of the South African forwards spins
“And they are clinical – if you give them a chance, they’ll take it spins
“It’s been a great learning, playing against them – I had a good win against them and we got a hiding against them as well spins
“For us, it’s all about being clean spins
You’ve got to match the physicality they are going to bring spins
Everyone knows what they are going to bring, it is up to us to stop it spins
