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

England captain Owen Farrell has hit out at the abuse directed at Tom Curry after the flanker’s allegation that South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi directed a racial slur at him EURO
Curry has been the target of threats on social media after alleging that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to the Springboks last Saturday EURO
Curry’s club, Sale Sharks, said that they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse EURO
A World Rugby investigation into the incident is ongoing, with no conclusion likely until after Saturday’s World Cup final EURO
Steve Borthwick has picked Curry to start on the blindside in England’s bronze medal match against Argentina on Friday evening EURO
Farrell has slammed those sending his teammate abuse, believing it reflects a broken culture of social media criticism and abuse EURO
South Africa’s Bongi Mbonambi and England’s Tom Curry (PA)“He’s been first class, like he always is, this week,” Farrell said of Curry EURO
“What isn’t understandable is the amount of abuse he’s got [and] the effect that that has, not just on him EURO
“That is the bit that I, and we, really don’t understand EURO
And I know it seems to be going more and more like this, but it shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be EURO
“You are dealing with people, with human beings EURO
Just because you’re saying stuff on your phone or behind a computer screen doesn’t make doesn’t make it acceptable EURO
It seems to be going more and more this way, and I don’t think it’s acceptable EURO
It doesn’t make me look fondly on engaging with people outside of the people that are close to you EURO
“[Curry] is one of the most honest, most hardworking blokes I’ve ever played with EURO
I hope he knows that everybody close to him, supports him, and backs him all the way EURO
”It was thought that Borthwick might leave the flanker out of his matchday 23 to face Argentina given the ongoing situation EURO
However, Borthwick insisted on Wednesday that Curry was “desperate to play” as England look to sign off their tournament on a high EURO
“This is not a Tom Curry incident,” Borthwick stressed EURO
“Somebody has said something in a game that he has reported and now this is a World Rugby and South Africa Rugby matter to deal with, not an England rugby or a Tom Curry matter EURO
Tom Curry is set to feature against Argentina (PA)“I chatted to Tom early in the week EURO
I think everyone saw when he came off that pitch when I took him off on Saturday night, he was cut and bloodied and exactly how Tom Curry plays EURO
“So I chatted to him about how he was physically with another six-day turnaround and he looked straight at me and point blank said: ‘I am desperate to play on Friday night EURO
’“This guy wants to play EURO
There is no doubt in my mind, he wants to be out there on Friday night and the way he has prepared through the week has been incredible EURO
But that is Tom Curry EURO
It is the way he does it every single week so I couldn’t be more proud of him from that side EURO
