ODI World Cup 2023: Nasser Hussain takes big dig at Jos Buttler's England after South Africa loss
ODI World Cup 2023: Nasser Hussain takes big dig at Jos Buttler's England after South Africa loss
Former England captain Nasser Hussain has taken a massive dig at the England side after their latest defeat in the ODI World Cup on Saturday (Oct 21). Facing South Africa, Jos Buttler’s side lost by 229 runs and was condemned to their third defeat of the ongoing World Cup. According to Hussain, England look like a side with no confidence and will have a herculean task if they are to get to the last four of the ODI World Cup.
Nasser takes dig at England
“England look like a side that has no confidence. These three losses will hurt them. It happened in the last World Cup, but you felt it was a side that had confidence and they were playing a style and brand of cricket where they could bounce back,” said Hussain while speaking to Sky Sports.
“England need to now win seven games on the bounce to defend the World Cup, but they don't look like a side that could do that at the moment. If they want to win every game from now, they need to get their decision-making right,” Hussain added.

The defending champions have been on the receiving end of embarrassing defeats this campaign having lost to New Zealand in a one-sided contest despite scoring 282, while they also lost to Afghanistan in a major upset. To make matters worse, their defeat to South Africa is their heaviest in the ODI World Cup in terms of runs in the entire history.
England will next take on Sri Lanka, which also has just one win to its credit, as both look for a major turn of fortunes in the ODI World Cup. England will also have to face India and Australia in must-win contests considering their current status in the league table. The team is also struggling on the injury front with Reece Topley likely to be ruled out of the ODI World Cup while Ben Stokes is still recovering from an injury.
