'It was a nightmare', former English captain Nasir Hussain lashed out at the team for the worst defeat of 229 runs.
Former England captain Nasir Hussain took his team with bare hands after England's 229-run defeat against South Africa.
On October 21, the match between South Africa and England took place in the ICC ODI World Cup, for which cricket fans expected that the match would be thorny and the competition would be fierce, because on one side the strong team of this World Cup was South Africa and on the other side Defending champions England, but nothing like that happened.
The match proved to be one-sided as England won the toss, batting first South Africa set a target of 400 runs after which the entire English team was bowled out for just 170 runs.
Nasir Hussain's statement:
In this regard, former English captain Nasir Hussain expressed his anger and criticized this record defeat and said that the England team is making wrong decisions, the decision to bowl after winning the toss was not correct, three changes in the team were also wrong, It was decided to bowl first in the heat and hubs.
Nasir Hussain said that Chris Woakes is not good on flat pitches, Ben Stokes was fine to replace him, but why were the other changes made? These changes changed everything, it was not right to bowl by winning the toss based on the data.
He further said that the England and South Africa teams failed to chase the target in the previous matches, David Valley had cramps, Ben Stokes also looked in trouble, Topley and Joe were undergoing root treatment, besides Adil Rashid Bokar. Feeling, this cause was a nightmare.
Nasir Hussain further said that England seems to be a team in which there is no confidence, three defeats will cause them regret and loss, England played a brand of cricket, now how will they bounce back?
He also said that to defend the title now they have to win all seven games which England can't do now, England team can do well but they have to get their decision making right.
