T20 World Cup: Australia's win against Scotland saw them top their world cup group, however they saved England in the process.
‘Blown out of proportion’: Mitchell Starc defends Josh Hazlewood ’s comments as awkward situation exposes T20 World Cup flawAustralian bowler Mitchell Starc has questioned the format of the ongoing T20 World Cup, declaring that teammate Josh Hazlewood ’s remarks about England were blown “right out of proportion”.
The FIFA World Cup schedules group-stage games at the same time to avoid a scenario in which teams could conspire to force a mutually beneficial result. “In this tournament, you potentially come up against England at some stage again, and they’re probably one of the top few teams on their day,” Hazlewood explained to reporters after Wednesday’s victory over Namibia in Antigua.
However, Australian bowler Pat Cummins denied there had been any internal discussion about manipulating the result against Scotland, while Starc accused the media of distorting Hazlewood’s “throwaway line”.“I think a throwaway line has been blown out of proportion by you lot,” Starc told reporters during Sunday’s post-match press conference.
