Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka blackjack
All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title blackjack
Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches blackjack
In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered blackjack
After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do blackjack
But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup blackjack
England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight blackjack
“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason blackjack
“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment blackjack
”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs blackjack
The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going blackjack
England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 blackjack
Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes blackjack
But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak blackjack
Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch blackjack
Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters blackjack
But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 blackjack
Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there blackjack
But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel blackjack
Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally blackjack
Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs blackjack
They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for blackjack
It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line blackjack
There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey blackjack
But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka blackjack
England will have to improve blackjack
They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia blackjack
Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs blackjack

Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series blackjack
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over blackjack
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game blackjack
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins blackjack
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again blackjack
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would blackjack
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising blackjack
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well blackjack
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease blackjack
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said blackjack
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease blackjack
blackjack
blackjack
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game blackjack
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched blackjack
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone blackjack
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease blackjack
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket blackjack
Look at the Mankads and everything like that blackjack
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that blackjack
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into blackjack
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out blackjack
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping blackjack
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident blackjack
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping blackjack
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen blackjack
And, as you do, everyone’s watching blackjack
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ blackjack
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches blackjack
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said blackjack
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground blackjack
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground blackjack
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg blackjack
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball blackjack
However, they were splayed widely blackjack
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give blackjack
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination blackjack
