England’s captain, Jos Buttler, openly shared his disappointment after witnessing his defending champions exit the Cricket World Cup, acknowledging that it’s a painful experience. In a disheartening turn of events, England suffered a 33-run defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals, Australia, marking their sixth loss in seven games during the tournament. Buttler, his spirit clearly deflated, admitted, “It certainly feels like a low point. I’ve had a few but definitely as a captain.

” The gloom of the moment was palpable as he continued, “To be stood in this position having arrived in India with high hopes is incredibly tough and disappointing. It hurts a lot.” Despite dismissing Australia for 286 runs, England couldn’t muster the firepower to chase the target, falling short at 253. As a result, the defending champions found themselves languishing at the bottom of the table, with two games still to play.

Buttler acknowledged his disappointment, adding, “We are disappointed.”. I feel like we are having the same chat after every game at the minute. We haven’t done ourselves justice. Coming into the tournament, we fancied ourselves to have a real go and push whoever it was going to be all the way.” He went on to emphasize the weight of their letdown, saying, “We’ve let ourselves down. We’ve let people down at home who have supported us through thick and thin, and we bear the consequences.

” In contrast, Australia’s tournament campaign appeared to be picking up steam, and they appeared to be well-positioned to reach the semi-finals.. Occupying the third spot in the standings with 10 points after a fifth consecutive victory, Australian skipper Pat Cummins reflected on their journey, saying, “It’s been great.The boys have played beautifully, and we’ve won every game.” Despite their triumph, Cummins remained critical of their performance, saying, “I feel like we’ve improved a little bit with each game.” I still don’t believe we’ve completed the game.”
