▼ + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Amlan Chakraborty | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

It was a remarkable journey for Australia, who began their campaign with back-to-back defeats yet still finished with the 50-overs World Cup in their arms for the sixth time. Shakib had already caused controversy over his appeal that led to Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews becoming the first player in international cricket to be 'timed-out'. Cummins, for one, had no doubts about the stature of the original World Cup. "I think it's the pinnacle of international cricket," said Cummins, who was part of Australia's victorious 2015 squad. "The whole cricket world stops with this World Cup."

England had already been eliminated after six defeats in seven matches in a debacle that has prompted demands for an overhaul of their one-day squad. Electing to bat at Eden Gardens, England racked up a solid 337-9, with three of their top four batters smashing fifties in their third 300-plus total of the tournament. Pakistan were all out for 244 in the 44th over and bowed out of the tournament after their fifth loss in nine matches. New Zealand have joined India, South Africa and Australia in the semi-finals.

Nov 9 (Reuters) - England captain Jos Buttler said the team have shown a desire to "put things right" in India after a dismal World Cup campaign and are determined to secure a spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy with a top-eight finish. Ahead of the bottom three - Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Neteherlands - on net run rate, England head to Kolkata for their final match against fifth-placed Pakistan, who will host the next edition of the eight-team Champions Trophy. "We haven't performed the way we wanted to this whole trip and we'd like to leave India putting in a proper performance," Buttler told reporters. "Not playing for what we wanted to be playing for, but a really vital match for us in the grand scheme of things.

Equally importantly, he has often set the tone of their innings with the bat and is India's leading run-scorer in the tournament having overtaken Kohli. The 36-year-old, widely admired for his lazy elegance, fell for a duck against Australia in their tournament opener but has since been dominating the powerplay overs to put India in charge. Known for destroying rival attacks, Rohit proved he could rebuild an innings as well as he combined in a 91-run stand with KL Rahul to resuscitate India. Rohit did not get his second hundred of the tournament but his measured knock fetched him player-of-the-match award. "It's just not about going and playing my shots," the opener said after helping India clinch the bowler-dominated contest against holders England.

☆ World Cup title defence in shreds but England relishing India clash

LUCKNOW, India, Oct 28 (Reuters) - England's World Cup title defence may be in tatters after four defeats in five matches but assistant coach Marcus Trescothick said on Saturday their sagging fortunes won't stop them from relishing their blockbuster clash with hosts India. England won the title on home soil in 2019 and came into the showpiece as favourites after also capturing the Twenty20 World Cup last year, but defeats by New Zealand, Afghanistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka have left them on the brink of elimination. "Playing against India in a World Cup in their own country is a special part of the game. You get these opportunities that come around - you know there'll be a big crowd, there'll be a wonderful occasion," Trescothick told reporters. Trescothick said England had not lost faith in the 50-overs format having lifted the title at the last World Cup.

"We're a really good team, done a lot of good things in the recent past in white-ball cricket and 50-over cricket," Buttler told reporters. "I think you're always questioning as captain how you can get the best out of players, how you can get the team moving in the right direction," Buttler said. England face the daunting task of playing unbeaten hosts India on Sunday and Buttler said they were determined to get back to playing good cricket. "It looks like it could need a few miracles that we'd have to win every game and things go our way to progress further in this tournament," Buttler said. "But for the games that we have left, we want to play the cricket we know we can play."

☆ Sri Lanka restrict lacklustre England to 156 in World Cup clash

BENGALURU, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka restricted England to a below-par 156 all out in 33.2 overs in a must-win clash between the World Cup's stragglers on Thursday, with only Ben Stokes offering some resistance in a dismal batting display by the defending champions. Stokes (43) took the attack to Sri Lanka on a dry wicket at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after England's middle-order collapsed in the face of some incisive bowling, but he holed out to Dushan Hemantha in the deep off Lahiru Kumara (3-35) in the 31st over. Sri Lanka earlier put the brakes on England's scoring as returning veteran Angelo Mathews (2-14) removed opener Dawid Malan (28) and helped run out Joe Root, before Kumara struck twice to leave the holders in trouble at 85-5. Sri Lanka, who came into the contest with the same record as England with three defeats in four matches, ran through the tail to lay the platform for a big upset.

Mott did not want to say if it was the end of an era for their ODI team but he admitted it was a missed opportunity after winning the T20 World Cup last year. "For us, every time you play a World Cup you know it could be your last ... they don't come along very often," Mott added. "In the last 12 to 18 months we've done well in the T20 World Cup and we've bombed out here. "A T20 World Cup is the next thing on the agenda (in June 2024), from an ICC events point of view.

Buttler said the Afghanistan result was a "big setback". "We’ve got to show a lot of character, a lot of resilience within the team and most of all a lot of belief. Buttler conceded the England brain trust had misread the pitch and the conditions, retaining an extra seamer after seeing India beat Afghanistan at the same Arun Jaitley Stadium last week with a similar attack. "The conditions didn’t play quite as we thought they would ... The wicket didn’t play exactly how we thought it would play and the dew didn’t come in as much as we thought as well."

DHARAMSALA, India, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Opener Dawid Malan smashed 140 and forged century-plus partnerships with Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root to help England rack up 364-9 against Bangladesh in their second match of the 50-overs World Cup on Tuesday. Malan combined with Bairstow in a 115-run opening stand to give England a terrific start after being put into bat by Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan. Even after Bairstow departed for 52, there was no respite for Bangladesh as Malan raised 151 runs with Root, whose 82 followed his 77 in the tournament opener against New Zealand. Malan clobbered five sixes and 16 fours in his 107-ball blitz before losing his off-stump to spinner Mahedi Hasan (4-71). England lost a clutch of wickets in quick successions and could not make the most of their final 10 overs.

Buttler accepted that England had been "completely outplayed" but the disappointment would not blur his perspective going forward in the tournament. "It's certainly a tough loss to take...but just as we, had we won the game, don't get too high, we don't get too low when we lose as well." Joe Root top-scored for England with 77, while Buttler (43) and Jonny Bairstow (33) also made starts. Sometimes you don't play as well as you would like. England play Bangladesh in Dharamsala on Tuesday hoping to boost their net run-rate.

Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra smashed rapid unbeaten centuries to set up New Zealand's successful pursuit of a 283-run victory target, which they reached with 13.4 overs to spare. Ravindra's unbeaten 123 off 96 balls, studded with 11 fours and five sixes, earned the 23-year-old player-of-the-match award on his World Cup debut. New Zealand lost Will Young for nought in the first over but Conway, who smashed a career-best 152 not out, and Ravindra turned the heat back on England with their free scoring. Ravindra, who shared unbroken 273-run partnership with Conway, took one delivery fewer to notch up his maiden ODI hundred. New Zealand rested Williamson (knee) and fast bowler Tim Southee (thumb) to give them more time to recover from surgery.

England sacrificed opener Jason Roy to accommodate Brook, who has been marked out as a future superstar of the game because of his explosive batting. "We'll make the right call here - if he's not fit to play, he's not fit to play," Buttler said. Brook, an automatic pick in England's test side and part of their T20 World Cup winning team last year, is likely to be the beneficiary of circumstances. The start of his international career has been outstanding in T20 cricket and in the test format," Buttler said. We know from test cricket, he can play big innings.

NEW DELHI, May 8 (Reuters) - Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler roared back to form but Abdul Samad's last-over heroics ensured Sunrisers Hyderabad had the last laugh in Sunday night's dramatic Indian Premier League (IPL) contest. England limited-overs captain Buttler started the season well but went into the match without a fifty in his previous six knocks that included a couple of ducks. But with Hyderabad needing 41 runs off the last two overs, Glenn Phillips, who made 25 off just seven balls, turned the match on its head. Samad smacked the final delivery over the bowler's head for a flat six to secure Hyderabad's fourth win in 10 matches. Rajasthan captain Samson defended picking Sandeep to bowl the final over.

Their 170-run stand was the biggest opening partnership in T20 World Cup history and England's biggest for any wicket at the tournament. It set up a mouthwatering duel against Pakistan, 30 years on from the teams' 50-over World Cup final in 1992 at the MCG which the south Asians won. England had to make changes for the semi-final, with pace spearhead Mark Wood and number three batsman Dawid Malan out injured.
