Cricket: Australia put England to the sword in Barbados at the T20 World Cup, thanks in large part to a bruising display with the bat.
Australia leaves England 's WC in tatters | 02:09 England ’s chances of defending its T20 World Cup crown hinges on the performances of its two biggest rivals following Saturday’s feeble loss to Australia in Bridgetown .
Buttler later confessed the decision to open the bowling with two spinners was based on a “gut feel”.“It was a call that probably didn’t come off today.” During the run chase, Buttler threw his wicket away by top-edging a needless reverse sweep towards backward point before England’s middle order failed to exploit the crosswinds and short boundary. Meanwhile, Jonny Bairstow’s middling form has given the national selectors plenty to ponder over the coming days.
However, should other matches in Group B transpire as expected, an intriguing scenario arises ahead of Scotland’s contest against Australia, which occurs after England’s final game against Namibia. The Black Caps had beaten Australia earlier in the group stage, and boosting the West Indies’ net run rate reduced New Zealand’s chances of featuring in the Super Sixes.
