England bottom of World Cup standings after six games‘Put a bit of pride back into what we are about,’ urges Root
Joe Root says there is “no better motivator” for England’s World Cup strugglers than the chance to knock Australia off their stride. While England lie bottom of the standings in 10th place after six games, their oldest rivals appear to be set fair for a semi-final spot with four wins under their belt.
Although their fortunes have differed dramatically in India, it is only a matter of months since many of the same players contested a thrilling Ashes series that ended 2-2 and would surely have fallen England’s way had it not been for rain at Old Trafford. And Root is hoping to see his side rally against familiar foes, ending a four-game losing streak in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
