Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO
England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO
Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO
Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

India’s legendary spin bowler Bishan Singh Bedi who also served as the captain of his country’s cricket team has died at the age of 77 EURO
Bedi had been battling a prolonged illness and had undergone surgery two weeks ago EURO
He was admitted to a hospital in India’s national capital Delhi ever since EURO
The former India captain is survived by his son, Bollywood actor Angad Bedi EURO
Widely known as one of the greatest spinners produced by India who played international cricket, Bedi made 67 Test appearances and also played 10 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) for the Indian team EURO between 1967 and 1979 EURO
Bedi, famous for his outstanding accuracy and spin bowling, picked up 266 wickets in Test cricket at an average of 28 EURO
71 with 14 five-wicket hauls EURO
The left-arm spinner also claimed seven wickets in the 50-over format EURO
Out of the 266 Test wickets, Bedi bagged 106 of those as captain, having led the Indian team in 22 Tests EURO
One of the architects of India’s spin bowling revolution, Bedi was a part of Indian cricket’s golden quartet of spinners, the others being Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chadrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan, who shaped the core of India’s bowling unit for more than a decade EURO between 1967 and 1978 EURO
Amritsar-born Bedi was said to be a creative bowler – his style was defined as elegant, beautiful and crafty EURO

The cricketer was one of the most significant figures who had a role to play in India’s first-ever ODI win, in which he registered figures of 12-8-6-1 to restrict East Africa to 120 in a Cricket World Cup 1975 match EURO
Bedi represented Northamptonshire in English county cricket for two decades as well, while he played for Northern Punjab and then for Delhi in the Indian domestic circuit EURO
The former spinner finished his career with 1,560 wickets in 370 First-Class matches – more than any other Indian player EURO
Delhi’s first two titles in the Ranji Trophy – India’s premier First-Class championship – came under Bedi’s captaincy in the 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons EURO
Delhi also finished as runners-up twice under his watch and all four finals came in a span of five years EURO
Bedi retired from all forms of cricket in 1980, which was when he last played in a First-Class game EURO
In his post-retirement life, he did not completely cut away from cricket EURO
From working as a commentator or a pundit to serving as a national selector and as Team India’s manager, Bedi was closely associated with the game for quite some time EURO
Tributes have poured in on Bedi’s passing EURO
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi condoled the death on X/Twitter EURO
