Jonny Bairstow is relishing his role in a rare World Cup double as England and South Africa prepare for high-stakes battles on the cricket pitch and the rugby field within a matter of hours on Saturday 1xbet
Bairstow will be leading from the front in Mumbai, where his side look to put their creaking title defence back on track against the Proteas, before attention turns to events almost 4,500 miles away in Paris and the Rugby World Cup semi-final 1xbet between England and the Springboks 1xbet
Bairstow is a huge rugby fan and was even invited to address the England squad ahead of last year’s autumn international against Argentina at Twickenham, chatting to the squad for over an hour before observing training 1xbet
Now he hopes to set the tone for a day of English celebrations by the time Steve Borthwick’s men kick off 1xbet
You'll have people in South Africa, I'm sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais, and you'll have a few in England popping down the pub 1xbet
It's going to be a great spectacle 1xbet
“I think it’s going to be a great spectacle, it’s going to be a great day for both nations,” he said 1xbet
“They’re two extremely proud nations, whether that’s on the rugby front or the cricketing front, two teams on both sides that are very passionate about playing for their countries and are excited about playing for their countries 1xbet
“You’ll have people in South Africa, I’m sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais (barbecues), and you’ll have a few in England popping down the pub and watching – any excuse for them to just pop down there!“It will be great – and hopefully both results go our way 1xbet
”Bairstow can only directly impact one of them, of course, and the importance of his role at the top of the batting order is shaping up to be a key one 1xbet
Defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, either side of victory over Bangladesh, have put England firmly on the back foot and cranked up the stakes on their visit to the Wankhede Stadium 1xbet
Head coach Matthew Mott has called for more aggression in the first 15 overs of both innings and Bairstow has the track record and firepower to oblige 1xbet
But he is clear that swinging blindly for the fences is not on the cards, with conditions in India calling for more nuance 1xbet
“I don’t see anyone else in the world going out and scoring at nine runs an over 1xbet
You look at India, they don’t go out and just go balls to the wall in the first 10 and they’re the host nation,” he said 1xbet
“They don’t just go out and go from ball one 1xbet
So the importance of the first 10 is to yes score quickly, but also score in a way that’s sustainable over a long period of time, because we’re not playing a T20 game, we’re playing a 50-over game 1xbet
“Playing cricket in India compared to playing cricket in England is different 1xbet
There’s different styles that work all around the world 1xbet
I don’t think there’s one thing that fits all 1xbet
”While England are licking their wounds after being upset by the Afghans, South Africa are nursing a similar blow to their pride after defeat the Netherlands 1xbet
That has added another layer of intrigue to the clash as both sets of players desperately try to reset the narrative 1xbet
Lost to New Zealand by nine wicket, AhmedabadBeat Bangladesh by 137 runs, DharamshalaLost to Afghanistan by 69 runs, Delhi“We know it’s a big game, we know they’re a strong nation and they’ve been playing well, but we also know now they’re coming off a loss as well,” Bairstow said 1xbet
“That was a great result to wake up to 1xbet
But we’re actually just focusing on ourselves 1xbet
That’s what we do 1xbet
“The confidence is there – it’s unwavering 1xbet
There’s no lack of belief within this group 1xbet
It isn’t something that’s been questioned one bit 1xbet

Can Tottenham actually win the Premier League? Of course not, but ask Ange Postecoglou and the Spurs manager would not discourage the question, even though he would be the first to point out that it’s still only October 1xbet
It is Postecoglou’s belief, and the Australian would say it is also his responsibility, that 1xbet football fans are allowed to dream 1xbet
Spurs supporters have had little reason to get carried away in recent years but after making their best start to a top-flight season since 1960-61, the last time they won the league, now is as good a time as any 1xbet
Postecoglou could not have asked for a 1xbet better start: as the Premier League returns following the October international break, Tottenham sit top, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference 1xbet
Postecoglou’s side remain unbeaten, winning six and drawing two of their opening eight matches 1xbet
From the misery and perpetual sense of chaos that took hold of Spurs last season, Postecoglou has revived the doomed pulse of the club and its fanbase 1xbet
That, above the early look of the Premier League table, has been his greatest result so far 1xbet
Whether Tottenham’s fast start can last is one of the questions that will define the next chunk of the Premier League campaign 1xbet
There are only four rounds of fixtures to be played before the next hiatus, for November’s internationals, and Tottenham’s upcoming run – against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Wolves – is favourable 1xbet
Based on their early season form, there is reason for optimism that Spurs may be able to enjoy their view from the summit for a while longer 1xbet
Yet, a year ago, it was possible to say the same 1xbet
Having beaten Arsenal to fourth place the previous season, Tottenham started the new campaign under Conte with seven wins from their opening 10 matches, a good enough return to sit one point off the top by mid-October 1xbet
Given Tottenham went on to win just three of their next 10 and Conte’s fractious relationship with the club finally came crashing down within six months, the foundations were nowhere near as strong as they initially appeared 1xbet
Are Tottenham flattered to be in a lofty early position again? Postecoglou’s side have already played and beaten the Premier League’s bottom four, including the three newly promoted sides 1xbet
One of those wins required a 99th-minute winner at home to Sheffield United 1xbet
Another tight victory, against Liverpool, came after the visitors had the opening goal incorrectly disallowed by VAR, had two players sent off, while Reds defender Joel Matip put a 96th-minute winner into the wrong end 1xbet
Tottenham were the benefactors of the “well done, boys, good process” derby 1xbet
Yet Tottenham have also earned some fortune, and it is becoming clearer with each week of Postecoglou’s influence that Tottenham may not have picked up those points last season 1xbet
While their opening fixtures have been kind, Spurs have also shown resilience and spirit in winning away at Luton with 10 men, after Yves Bissouma’s red card, and equalising twice to earn a point at Arsenal, a fixture at which they had crumbled in previous seasons 1xbet
It was a performance that led James Maddison to declare Spurs are shedding their “Spursy” tag 1xbet

The fact the departure of Harry Kane has not yet felt as significant is another sign of how Postecoglou has managed to bring the divided sides of what appeared to be a broken club together 1xbet
While Kane has gone, there is a freshness about Spurs 1xbet
Through the impact of signings such as Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario, the relationship 1xbet between players and fans has been repaired 1xbet
What has stood out about Postecoglou’s team has been backed up, too, by the numbers 1xbet
Last season, Tottenham were often passive and frequently easy to play against 1xbet
Even though they carried the threat of Kane, Spurs would appear to pass through games without showing any urgency or ambition; opposition teams would find it alarmingly simple to play through a static, immobile midfield 1xbet
But under Postecoglou, Tottenham have become one of the most active teams in the division, progressive with the ball and disruptive without it 1xbet
Spurs lead the Premier League in shots on goal, passes into the penalty area, forward dribbles, but also in tackles won and interceptions 1xbet
If it reflects that Tottenham now press higher up the pitch than last season, when they barely engaged under Conte, Bissouma has been the key piece in a revamped midfield a year after being frozen out by the Italian 1xbet
Maddison, meanwhile, has helped ease the post-Kane transition, a role he appeared ready to step up to when he took the No 10 jersey previously worn by the club’s record goalscorer 1xbet
Spurs will never be able to replace Kane, but Postecoglou has so far been able to negate his absence through Maddison and a resurgent Son Heung-min, who looks back to his clinical best after moving to a central forward role 1xbet
Maddison, though, has been integral as Tottenham’s creator-in-chief, with five assists so far this season 1xbet

Tottenham, really, shouldn’t be near the conversation of title challengers, but timing has played a part 1xbet
The win at Luton, which moved them top, came as Manchester City lost their second Premier League game in a row at Arsenal 1xbet
If it’s a sign of what’s to come from City this season, it was a result that widened the pool of potential challengers to include Spurs 1xbet
The manner in which City eased away from Arsenal last season, however, showed how inch-perfect title contenders must be as long as Pep Guardiola remains in England 1xbet
Tottenham, who finished eighth last year, are coming from an even lower floor than Mikel Arteta’s side, albeit with a more dramatic transformation under Postecoglou 1xbet
As a side who are still developing together, Spurs should be allowed some inconsistency, even if they are yet to show it 1xbet
The early evidence this season suggests they are one of the four strongest teams in the top flight, alongside last season’s title rivals and Jurgen Klopp’s refreshed Liverpool 1xbet
In the past, signs of promise around Spurs have often been followed by a swift yet crushing crash back to earth 1xbet
But now as Tottenham head deep into October with two winnable London derbies next week, starting with Fulham on Monday followed by a trip to Crystal Palace on Friday, Postecoglou can continue to show why this Tottenham is different 1xbet
