England’s woeful World Cup campaign has not prevented Joe Root from claiming they are a better side “man for man” than Australia, who stand ready to knock them out of the tournament on Saturday., struggling to finish in the top eight to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. They desperately need to find a spark against their old rivals and Root admitted making sure Australia do not knock them out is strong motivation.“Man for man I’d have this team every day over the Australians.
However, at the moment you would not trust England to chase 200 as soon as Australia apply any pressure with the ball after their top order collapsed with four for nine runs against India on Sunday, which included ducks for Root and Ben Stokes.The opening partnership between Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow has not clicked while Root has cobbled together just 16 in four innings after starting with scores of 77 and 82. Jos Buttler is averaging 17.5 and Stokes 16. The big guns have fallen silent.
