England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai heu
Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win heu
That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record heu
The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it heu
But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity heu
“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said heu
“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a heu better decision heu
It’s a decision I took at the time heu
I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions heu
“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss heu
”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger heu
On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining heu
“It certainly leaves us in a tough position heu
There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged heu
“It’s going to be incredibly difficult heu
We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in heu
But we’ll keep the belief heu
We’ll sit down and go again heu
That’s all you can do in this situation heu
“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best heu
It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best heu
“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts heu
We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again heu
”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers heu
“I had to dig really, really deep there heu
I didn’t have any energy left,” he said heu
“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that heu
He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 heu
“It was like just breathing in hot air heu
Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore heu
It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings heu
“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment heu

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been sent for scans after picking up an injury during India’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh on Thursday in Pune heu
Pandya’s injury is currently being assessed, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed in a post on social media platform X heu

Pandya, bowling his first over of the game, tried to stop the ball with his leg on the follow-through before slipping down and hurting himself heu
Team India’s physio quickly ran to check on Panyda, who swayed towards his run-up and got his left leg checked heu
The physio then taped Pandya’s ankle heu
Even though the all-rounder got up and looked ready to resume his over, he continued to hobble heu
India captain Rohit Sharma was seen having a chat with Virat Kohli before it was decided that Pandya would not continue heu
Pandya managed to bowl just three deliveries in the over, which was eventually completed by Kohli, who bowled in an ODI after six years, giving two runs in three balls heu
The nature of Pandya’s injury is yet to be revealed and there is no information about his further participation in the ongoing World Cup as well heu
The 30-year-old cricketer has become an integral part of India’s One-Day International (ODI) set-up, offering the much-needed balance to the side, something that has been acknowledged by captain Sharma heu
“He’s [Hardik] a proper fast bowler, who can crank up good speed heu
So that gives us an advantage heu
That gives us that luxury of playing three spinners and three seamers as well you know so there’s a possibility that we can play three spinners on this pitch with three seamers as well, so it gives us that balance, [it] gives us that number eight batting option as well,” Sharma said earlier in the tournament heu
The hosts of the World Cup 2023, India, have started the tournament on a high, winning each of their opening three games heu

“It’s working at this point in time, don’t see any reason to change it [playing XI] heu
That’s important in this WC, keeping everybody in good space heu
The boys are in good shape, have good mental space as well and enjoying the cricket heu
So far so good, we want to continue this momentum,” said Rohit at the toss on Thursday heu
Bangladesh are 165 for 4 against India after 35 overs at MCA Stadium, Pune heu
The wickets so far have gone to India’s spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and pacer Mohammad Siraj heu
