Underestimated and underappreciated, Ian Foster is one win away from becoming the fourth coach to deliver New Zealand a World Cup title but it would be a bittersweet triumph for a man long since judged unfit to carry on in the role.
BENGALURU : England may need to take a leaf out of the test side's "Bazball" playbook and reignite their 50-overs World Cup campaign with an aggressive approach against fellow strugglers Sri Lanka, spin all-rounder Moeen Ali said on Wednesday.
Over the last few years, England's success in the white ball formats was built on downright aggression, and all-rounder Moeen Ali on Tuesday admitted that the defending champions have not been able to produce that kind of cricket in this World Cup. England have lost three games out of four in this tournament and are in dire need to win the next matches to keep their hopes of reaching the semifinals alive.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam's lead at the head of the ODI Batting Rankings has been reduced to just six rating points as India's Shubman Gill and a host of stars in stunning form at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup close in on the Pakistan skipper.

CAPE TOWN : Rassie Erasmus is a rugby maverick who has drawn stinging criticism for overstepping boundaries but stands on the brink of masterminding back-to-back World Cup wins for South Africa with his tactical innovation and outstanding reading of the game.
South Africa flew into the Cricket World Cup a little under the radar but the awesome range of their power hitting has seen the side post the top three scores in the tournament, which stand-in captain Aiden Markram puts down to their adaptability.
South Africa stand-in skipper Aiden Markram believes the soon-to-retire wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock is a "free-spirited guy" who should be allowed "to fly". The explosive lefthander smashed 174 off 140 balls, his third century in five innings, to propel South Africa to 382/5 against Bangladesh before the Proteas sealed a thumping 149-run win on Tuesday. De Kock's century was complemented by fifties from Heinrich Klaasen (90; 49b) and Markram (60; 69b) as South Africa racked up 144 in the final 10 overs.
