England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai neube
Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win neube
That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record neube
The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it neube
But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity neube
“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said neube
“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a neube better decision neube
It’s a decision I took at the time neube
I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions neube
“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss neube
”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger neube
On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining neube
“It certainly leaves us in a tough position neube
There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged neube
“It’s going to be incredibly difficult neube
We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in neube
But we’ll keep the belief neube
We’ll sit down and go again neube
That’s all you can do in this situation neube
“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best neube
It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best neube
“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts neube
We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again neube
”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers neube
“I had to dig really, really deep there neube
I didn’t have any energy left,” he said neube
“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that neube
He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 neube
“It was like just breathing in hot air neube
Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore neube
It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings neube
“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment neube
