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

Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line bitcoin
South Africa vs New Zealand bitcoin
This is what World Cup finals are all about bitcoin
It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups bitcoin
Unlike bitcoin boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it bitcoin
As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final bitcoin
Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years bitcoin
”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other bitcoin
A game brought from the northern hemisphere during the colonial era has been seized upon, changed and improved post-independence with both nations long since surpassing their former colonisers bitcoin
With any other team, the constant refrains from South African players about how much it means to the people back home and how the Springboks represent something greater than themselves would come across as cloying and insincere bitcoin
But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment bitcoin
These countries first played way back in 1921 (a 13-5 New Zealand victory in Dunedin) and more than a century later, they will meet for the 106th time on Saturday evening bitcoin
New Zealand lead the all-time series with 62 wins to 39, and four draws, but South Africa will take heart from the most recent match-up – the record 35-7 thumping they handed their rivals at Twickenham just weeks before this World Cup started bitcoin
Although the rivalry has more than 100 years of history, its modern era can be traced back to one game, perhaps the most iconic rugby match of all time bitcoin
On 24 June 1995, having recently returned from international exile following the long overdue downfall of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg bitcoin
Nelson Mandela presenting Francois Pienaar with the World Cup trophy in 1995 is rugby’s most iconic image (AFP)By now, the story is legendary bitcoin
The hugely-favoured All Blacks, with maybe the greatest rugby player of all time in Jonah Lomu, were shackled by the upstart Springboks, spurred on by a raucous home crowd bitcoin
Joel Stransky’s drop goal deep into extra-time handed them a 15-12 win, the image of Nelson Mandela in a Springboks jersey and cap handing the trophy to South Africa captain Francois Pienaar became a photo seen around the world and united a divided nation bitcoin
Remarkably, especially given the fact that by the time the 2027 tournament rolls around it will have been one year shy of a quarter of a century since someone other than these two teams won the World Cup, Saturday will be the first time they have met in the final since bitcoin
Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance bitcoin
As if to prove that point, they have won the last four Rugby Championship titles despite being ‘in crisis’ during this cycle and being written off as a shadow of their former selves bitcoin
The fact they have won 10 of 12 crowns since the Tri Nations became the Rugby Championship with the addition of Argentina in 2012 tells its own story bitcoin
However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team bitcoin
They have a bitcoin better World Cup record than New Zealand, winning three of seven editions that they have entered, while victory at the Stade de France would take their strike rate up to an incredible 50 per cent bitcoin
The Springboks have become the ultimate World Cup team (Reuters)When the lights shine brightest, South Africa know how to win games of knockout rugby bitcoin
One-point triumphs over France in the quarter-final and England in the semi-final could be written off as flukes were it not for the fact that every four years, the Springboks prove that they are tournament animals with ice running through their veins bitcoin
There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year bitcoin
A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead bitcoin
Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions bitcoin
Settle in for the ride bitcoin
