SL ready for ENG test in Super 8 clash: Sri Lanka fielding coach Sridhar

Fielding coach R Sridhar on Saturday said Sri Lanka have moved on from their home 0-3 drubbing by England in the run-up to the T20 World Cup, and believed that his side is now better equipped to react to different situations in Sunday's Super Eights match against the Three Lions here. England whitewashed Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series just seven days before the start of the ongoing T20 World Cup, but Sridhar did not count that as a deterrent in producing a good outing against Harry Brook's side. "At this stage of this tournament, it's a lot different from what a bilateral series is. I mean, bilateral series and private leagues, there's no pressure as much as it would be in a World Cup Super-8 game. And it is for all teams. It is for all teams, whether it is England, whether it is Sri Lanka, whether it is India or Pakistan, whoever it is, when you're playing a super 8 game, you will not play with the same freedom as you would do in a bilateral or a private league," Sridhar sai

T20 WC: It''s about adapting, says England's Tom Banton on new No 4 role

England batter Tom Banton says he is relishing his new role at No.4, adding that he is now "older" and "more mature" with a better understanding of his game after guiding the team to a crucial win over Scotland in the T20 World Cup. Banton produced a composed unbeaten 63 to anchor a tricky chase and seal a nervy five-wicket victory, keeping England's Super Eights hopes alive. "I think just a bit, obviously older, more mature, got a better understanding of my game," he said on what he did differently against Scotland on Saturday. "When I came onto the scene, I remember at the start of that summer I was just about scraping into Somerset's second team. "Then six months later, I was playing for England and traveling all over the world, which was great, but I've got more of an understanding. "I have kind of, I don't know, just grown. I've learned a lot about myself. Not even anything to do with cricket," he said. Primarily an opener, Banton first came back into the England side as a .

T20 WC Preview: SCO vs ENG 'Auld Enemy' rivalry heats up Super 8 race

A floundering England will square off against traditional sporting rivals Scotland here on Saturday in a must-win T20 World Cup match that could well determine which of the two teams progresses to the Super Eight stage from Group C. West Indies sit atop with back-to-back wins, while Scotland, Italy and England -- all with one win each -- are separated only by net run rate. Scotland hold the second spot thanks to their massive win Italy. So, Saturday's clash could give either side a decisive edge in the race for second place as both are expected to win their final group games, with Scotland facing Nepal and England taking on Italy.

Cricket behind in on-field communication vs other sports: Jos Buttler

Senior batter Jos Buttler said cricket is relatively behind other sports in relaying messages to on-field players, after head coach Brendon McCullum was seen communicating with England captain Harry Brook through a walkie-talking during drinks break in their T20 World Cup clash against Nepal here. But in some sports like Formula 1, Race Engineers direct drivers in real-time via radio, covering strategy, engine settings, tire management, and safety info. In football, managers are allowed to communicate with players from the sidelines. "I think so, there's (been) walkie-talkies for a while to be fair. But then the communication from top to bottom has always been really good in the group," Buttler told reporters when asked if the motive behind using walkie-talkie was way for McCullum to have a more hands-on approach. "Baz can sit with his feet up and his sunglasses on and look very relaxed, but he's as sharp a coach as I've ever worked with. He doesn't miss a beat," Buttler said. "I .
