New Delhi. England’s cricket team entered the 2023 World Cup with the intention of defending the title, but their performance has been very poor. Now it’s a do-or-die situation for him, where even one defeat can shatter his dreams. Monty Panesar, who has played cricket for England for a long time, believes that the English team and captain Jos Buttler are becoming defensive. He also advised the English team to get back on track.
England will face Sri Lanka on Thursday. Both these teams have been world champions before, but this time they are under pressure after losing 3-3 matches. In such a situation, whichever team loses now will almost be out of the race for the semi-finals. What must defending champions England do to make a comeback? In answer to this question Monty Panesar Says, ‘I think the England team could not get out of the defeat against New Zealand in the first match. After this defeat, they are taking a strange decision. As such it is not appropriate to bowl first after winning the toss. But England is doing it time and time again.
In an exclusive conversation with Hindi.CMB College.com, Monty Panesar also recalled the turmoil in Afghanistan. He says that if England had won the toss and batted first against Afghanistan and scored more than 300 runs, they would not have faced defeat. But don’t know why England has forgotten its strength. Captain Jos Buttler has to remember that England’s strength is its batting. So bat first and score big. Being defensive won’t help.
The England match will also be watched by Indian cricket fans. Reason- India’s next match is against England. England may not be doing well in the current World Cup. But his history against India is very good. The Indian team last beat England in the 2003 ODI World Cup. When England defeated India in the last World Cup itself.
