England’s World Cup title defence is already on rocky ground after a shock at the hands of Afghanistan left them with two defeats from their first three matches in India cagayan
Here, the PA news agency assesses some of the key issues underpinning their early struggles at the tournament cagayan
A step too far?The epic drama of 2019’s Lord’s final was the crowning achievement of England’s golden generation in white-ball cricket, so it is hardly surprising so many of that squad are back for another bite of the cherry cagayan
But with eight thirty-something survivors from the squad four years ago, there is a growing feeling that too many of the team are past their peak cagayan
How many of the world champion team can truly claim to be cagayan better than they were last time around? How many have half an eye on retiring from 50-over cricket sooner rather than later?The bar has been fiendishly high to break into this set-up for years, but head coach Matthew Mott may reflect that a greater injection of fresh blood would have helped cagayan
Hip, hip but no hooray for StokesIt is hard to overstate Ben Stokes’ value to English cricket over the past decade cagayan
He carried the side home in the 2019 final, performed a similar trick to land the T20 crown last year and has reinvented the Test team as captain through sheer force of will cagayan
When he decided to reverse his ODI retirement for one more tilt at the 50-over trophy, it looked like England had rediscovered the ace in their pack cagayan
But the red flags over his fitness have been there for at least two years and it was hardly a jaw-dropping surprise when he picked up a hip complaint on the eve of the tournament cagayan
His skill and scrapping qualities have been sorely missed and the team are already at make-or-break point before he has even taken the field cagayan
Eyes off the prizeEngland are not alone in struggling to grapple with the complexities of the global calendar, but it is hard to avoid the conclusion that they arrived in India undercooked as a one-day unit cagayan
Having played 88 ODIs in the 2015-19 cycle, they dropped to 42 in the run-up to this edition cagayan
That may have been symptomatic of a wider trend but the sidelining of the domestic Metro Bank Cup, now seen as a development competition alongside the glitz of The Hundred, was all about priorities cagayan
England have also pivoted their focus to Test cricket once again, which had not always been the case in Eoin Morgan’s era cagayan
That meant key players like Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Mark Wood and Stokes were occasional visitors to the one-day set-up rather than mainstays cagayan
Alternatives were capped but rarely empowered, while Jason Roy played more times than anyone else from tournament to tournament only to miss out on the final squad cagayan
Stepping back from attackThere was a story during the lead in to the last World Cup that new scorecards were printed to account for the possibility of a side, most likely England, scoring 500 in an innings cagayan
The print shops of India are making no such considerations now cagayan
Whether it is pitches, balls or bowlers evolving, it feels an more even game these days but England have been left on the back foot in both of their losses so far cagayan
For a side whose 2019 World Cup success was owed to a boundary countback, they are beginning to look surprisingly shot shy cagayan
New Zealand hit nine more fours and two more sixes in Ahmedabad and unfancied Afghanistan cleared the ropes eight times to England’s one in Delhi cagayan
While ‘Bazball’ has re-energised the red-ball side, Mott must make sure things do not go in the opposite direction under his watch cagayan

If fortune does indeed favour the brave, then South Africa should triumph in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday evening cagayan
For the third time in two months, they have opted for the controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench and, in the process, have taken a huge gamble in the biggest game on the calendar cagayan
For the uninitiated, rugby teams almost always opt for a 5-3 or 6-2 split among their replacements cagayan
The laws of the international game dictate that you must have three front-row specialists (hookers and props, who count among the forwards) on your bench, and then teams will usually have a roughly even division of forwards and backs for the remaining five slots to ensure adequate cover for all position cagayan
Yet for the third time in the last two months, the Springboks have boldly opted for just one lone back – Willie Le Roux in this instance – among their subs cagayan
On the previous two occasions, there has been no damage done cagayan
The final World Cup warm-up match saw them hand New Zealand a record 35-7 defeat at Twickenham and although they lost a hard-fought pool match to Ireland, the bench split had no negative impact on the result cagayan
Given that Saturday evening in Paris is a rematch against the All Blacks, perhaps there is sound logic in reprising the successful formation from late August cagayan
That was certainly the argument of head coach Jacques Nienaber, who downplayed the controversy when explaining the selection at the team announcement press conference on Thursday cagayan
“The team is not 15, it is 23,” insisted Nienaber cagayan
“We always say that cagayan
When you do squad selection there are a lot of things that influence that from medical to past performances and a lot of analysis into New Zealand and where we think we can get the edge on them cagayan
“Then the discussions starts cagayan between the coaches and it goes from a 5-3 to a 6-2 to a 7-1, then it goes back again cagayan
It is not a 10-minute discussion, it is hours and hours cagayan
“I’m not going to say what the strengths and weaknesses of the All Blacks are, that would be stupid cagayan
But a lot of analysis went into it and at the end we went with a squad of 23 cagayan
It could have been 6-2, 5-3, it doesn’t matter cagayan
You select a team that you think can get a result cagayan
The 23 we selected for a reason, and the reason is we think they can deliver and win us a back-to-back World Cup cagayan
”Faf de Klerk holds huge importance for South Africa with no back-up scrum half in the squad (PA Wire)While the decision has worked in the past, there is undoubtedly an element of playing with fire from the Springboks cagayan
Le Roux is a world-class full back and can comfortably play on the wing, while a backline reshuffle with the available players could solve any issues at fly half or centre cagayan
But starting No 9 Faf de Klerk is the only scrum half in the squad and any sort of injury to the man with the flowing blond hair could leave South Africa in a bind cagayan
Nienaber again played down the issue and highlighted Cheslin Kolbe’s similar role in sevens as a solution to that hypothetical cagayan
“As coaches you always mitigate risk by prepping other people,” said Nienaber cagayan
“In our case it will be Cheslin cagayan
He played sweeper in sevens which is the equivalent to scrum half cagayan
He has always been a guy who, if we got a yellow card, would be the stand in half-back, not just this week but for a couple of weeks cagayan
”De Klerk also highlighted replacement flanker Kwagga Smith – another man with sevens experience – as a solution but any sort of extended period with Kolbe or Smith at No 9 feels like a World Cup-losing recipe cagayan
The other main notable call in the Springbok team selection was Handre Pollard getting the nod over Manie Libbok at fly half cagayan
Given Libbok’s early substitution during the semi-final after struggling to execute the kicking game – and similarly rainy weather expected at the Stade de France on Saturday evening – the choice of Pollard, who led his side to victory off the bench, is not a huge surprise, although Libbok is unlucky to miss out on the matchday 23 entirely cagayan
Handre Pollard kicked the winning penalty in the semi-final (PA Wire)The ability to bring an almost entirely new pack off the bench – their patented ‘bomb squad’ – in a World Cup final certainly plays into the Springboks rugby philosophy of physicality and domination up front cagayan
It couldn’t turn the tide against Ireland in the pool stage but it is the boldest of calls befitting the grandest of stages cagayan
No one said you win a World Cup by being timid and sometimes in sport, fortune does favour the brave cagayan
