Excerpts from Moeen Ali's pre-match press conference

[Reporter:]

 

And on a personal level, how hard has it been for yourself since that first game to not only have the disappointment of the results not going the team's way, but not being able to affect things and sort of been frustrated, I guess, watching along?

 

[Moeen Ali:]

 

Yeah, it's very frustrating, obviously, because you want to play and make some sort of difference. And yeah, it's one of those, it's difficult when you're not winning and then when you're not playing on top of that, it's hard. But you prepare well and you train well, and that's all you can do at the minute. So, my job is to do that. And when the time comes, and if I get the recall, then be ready and try and impact the team in winning games.

[Reporter:]

 

Getting back into the team, what is your personal feeling about playing in the World Cup?

 

[Angelo Mathews:]

 

Get back into the groove in terms of white ball cricket. I mean obviously I haven't played a lot of white ball cricket over the last three years. But I'm hoping to use all my experience and give it all out in this World Cup.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | England vs Sri Lanka Playing 11 live updates | High-scoring game on the cards

England will get a chance, perhaps a final one, to drag their shipwreck of a World Cup campaign, marked by batting and bowling downtime, to less stormy shores when they face fellow strugglers Sri Lanka here on Thursday.

 

The defending champions have two points from four matches, similar to their opponents, and are ninth on the table.

 

A win here will not push them too far ahead on the chart, but it may give them that tiny bit of motivation against teams like India and Australia ahead. But a defeat against Lanka will take away even the benevolence of mathematics, which is currently scaffolding their hopes.

 

To avoid being in the proximity of an early exit, England need improvement through the order, and in particular their batters need to fire. For that, they will not get a more favourable venue than the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with its short boundaries and pitch aiding runs.

 

The last match here between Australia and Pakistan produced a combined 672 runs, and the England batters would desperately want to repeat their effort against Bangladesh on October 10 when they mustered 364 for 9 at Dharamsala.
