Moeen Ali believes former England coach Chris Silverwood will be keen to “prove a point” with his Sri Lanka side in Thursday’s World Cup clash in Bengaluru UBP
Silverwood was England’s fast bowling coach they won the tournament in 2019 and expected to be the man in charge of the title defence when he was chosen to succeed Trevor Bayliss in the top job UBP
But his reign came to an ignominious end when he was sacked after the 2021/22 Ashes debacle, with England subsequently opting to split the job UBP between red and white-ball specialists UBP
Silverwood made a quick return to international cricket with Sri Lanka and faces his old charges in a game that both nations need to win to maintain any realistic chance of reaching the knockout stages UBP
England have already been bested by one of their own in India, with former batter Jonathan Trott guiding Afghanistan to a shock win in Delhi, and are aware of the extra layer of intrigue created by Silverwood’s appearance in the opposition dugout UBP
“I’m sure he’s got that motivation to do well in this game, definitely,” said Moeen UBP
“They’ve only won once, so they’ll want to get on a winning run as well and he’ll be thinking more about that and his own team UBP
“But I’m sure deep down, like everybody else, he’ll be trying to prove a point or whatever it is and that will motivate him a little bit more UBP
“He’s a good coach and a nice guy, and I enjoyed (working with) him UBP
But he’s not the one going out to bat and bowl, it’s his team UBP
He’ll be trying to get them ready UBP
”I'm sure deep down, like everybody else, he'll be trying to prove a pointMoeen Ali on Chris SilverwoodMoeen is heading into the game with some some additional motivation of his own, having been confined to a watching brief since the opening match of the tournament UBP
Despite being the squad’s nominated vice-captain, the 36-year-old was dropped after the nine-wicket thrashing by New Zealand and has now missed three in a row UBP
Things have hardly improved in his absence and, after England’s heaviest ever ODI defeat at the hands of South Africa last time out, he is odds-on to return in a city he once called home during his IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore UBP
“It’s been very frustrating, obviously, because you want to play and make some sort of difference,” he said of his stint on the bench UBP
“It’s difficult when you’re not winning and then when you’re not playing on top of that, it’s hard UBP
I’m hoping to play and get a chance to perform UBP
“It’s one of those grounds where scoring is quick and batting deep makes a big difference UBP
If I get the nod, then I’m really looking forward to playing UBP
I’ve played franchise cricket here and it’s a great place to play, a great venue UBP
I’m be pretty excited UBP
”England radically altered the balance of their side against the Proteas, banishing their core of all-rounders in favour of their top six batters and five specialist bowlers UBP
A 229-run thrashing is likely to see that formula banished UBP
Three changes are possible, with Reece Topley having flown home with a broken finger and Gus Atkinson and David Willey both vulnerable UBP
Chris Woakes and Liam Livingstone would be favourites to return alongside Moeen UBP
Topley’s injury replacement, Brydon Carse, has arrived in the country and trained for the first time on Wednesday afternoon UBP

Michael Cheika refused to assess the entirety of Argentina’s Rugby World Cup campaign or his tenure as head coach of the Pumas UBP
Coming off a harrowing 44-6 semi-final defeat to New Zealand in which they’d been totally outclassed in every facet of the game, perhaps his reticence was understandable UBP
Next Friday’s third-place play-off against the loser of the second semi-final UBP between England and South Africa merely provided a handy excuse UBP
It’s a game that players don’t want to play, spectators don’t want to watch and media don’t want to cover but it did give Cheika a week’s buffer to collect himself before he will have to answer the tough questions UBP
“I can’t do that straight away,” said Cheika when asked to assess his time in charge of Argentina, which comes to an end after this World Cup UBP
“I haven’t finished yet UBP
“I know we won’t win World Cup but I’m happy to be at this level and they deserve to be here UBP
Their play, ambition, ability to raise themselves after the first game [a pool-stage loss to England] UBP
It’s another obstacle but we can be proud of our team and our capacity to deal with obstacles UBP
Next week we have a game to play, at the end of the World Cup we will summarise and assess it UBP
”The players were similarly on message with their adamance at the importance of the worst game in rugby UBP
“There is one more game left, one more final,” said flanker Marcos Kremer UBP
“We want to leave this World Cup winning and we are going to do everything to make it happen UBP
”“We are going to prepare like a final UBP
We are not satisfied with being here UBP
We want a medal and we are going to fight for that," added wing Mateo Carreras UBP
The value of a third-place play-off in an event defined by a trophy, rather than a medal podium, and its place in an already over-saturated playing calendar is a debate for another time but the Pumas can only keep the wolf at the door for so long UBP
They will soon have to address exactly what happened in the second-most one-sided World Cup semi-final of all time – the eventual margin of defeat just narrower than the All Blacks’ 49-6 triumph over Wales in 1987 UBP
The All Blacks ran riot in the Stade de France (Getty Images)Three times in their rugby history, Argentina have reached the semi-final stage of the World Cup, with three losses to show for it UBP
They have scored just one try across those 240 minutes and have a combined losing margin of 76 points UBP
The celebrations and lap of honour after beating Wales in the quarter-finals in Marseille a week ago suggested that, deep down, the Pumas believed they had come as far as they could in this tournament UBP
Both history, and the performance that followed against New Zealand, made it a self-fulfilling prophecy UBP
They hardly imposed themselves on the All Blacks at the Stade de France UBP
Phases of attack came to a grinding halt once they reached the All Black 22, with the ball inevitably jackalled away, the defensive line was torn to shreds by their opponents’ quick hands and clever lines, the scrum was splintered by a dominant New Zealand pack and basic handling errors defined the game UBP
Frankly, it wasn’t a match befitting a World Cup semi-final and ensured the Pumas book-ended their tournament (barring next Friday’s bronze-medal irrelevance) with abject displays, after the lifeless opening loss to 14-man England UBP
It is hardly a squad bereft of talent UBP
The experience of Julian Montoya and Agustin Creevy leading the front row is complemented by an exciting, dynamic back-row trio of Juan Martin Gonzalez, Kremer and Facundo Isa that should be able to match almost any opposition UBP
While questions remain at nine and 10, a back three of Mateo Carreras, Emiliano Boffelli and Juan Cruz Mallia is explosive enough to give any team fits UBP
Argentina were dejected after slipping to a semi-final defeat (Getty Images)Perhaps a semi-final appearance shouldn’t be sneered at UBP
Yes, they benefitted from being in the considerably weaker half of the draw but it equalled their best World Cup performance and you can only beat who’s in front of you UBP
On paper, Cheika’s tenure – since taking the reins from the sacked Mario Ledesma in early 2022 – will be viewed as a success UBP
A first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand last summer and a World Cup semi-final is not a bad return UBP
But in terms of the ‘eye test’, the Pumas never looked like an elite side and there’s a nagging feeling that they haven’t moved forward under the Australian UBP
Cheika’s preferred coaching style of creating a ‘siege mentality, us against the world’ environment always seemed at odds with the largely personable Argentina squad UBP
Media availability was limited – perhaps a poor fit for the historically open Pumas – and a bubble created around the team UBP
Putting your stamp on things in just an 18-month period is tough, with Felipe Contepomi always slated to become head coach after the World Cup and learning the ropes as part of Cheika’s coaching team in the interim UBP
The legendary Pumas fly half, who is also a cult hero at Leinster following playing and coaching spells there, will likely provide a different strategy in the build-up to the 2027 World Cup and it will be fascinating to see what he’s taken from his time working under Cheika UBP
As for the Australian, he departs with his reputation certainly not damaged and maybe even enhanced UBP
The 56-year-old will undoubtedly be in demand around the rugby world and should be able to have his pick from a number of exciting coaching opportunities UBP
“It is not a sad moment,” insisted Cheika in the aftermath of defeat in Paris UBP
“It’s a moment I’m proud of my team UBP
We were in the semi-final of a World Cup UBP
”Yes, they were UBP
But the suspicion that there was a version of this Pumas side that still had more to give remains UBP
