England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack bitcoin

Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India bitcoin

Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 bitcoin

5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 bitcoin

50 each, tells a concerning story bitcoin

But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call bitcoin

Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott bitcoin

“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves bitcoin

He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side bitcoin

Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury bitcoin

And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration bitcoin

Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable bitcoin

“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information bitcoin

“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back bitcoin

He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to bitcoin

”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours bitcoin

The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format bitcoin

There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler bitcoin

Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again bitcoin

“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago bitcoin

It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled bitcoin

“I think this is one of the great grounds in India bitcoin

I love playing cricket here bitcoin

I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us bitcoin

“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways bitcoin

That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways bitcoin

That’s what we want to live by as a team bitcoin

It was in Charles Oliveira’s final round of sparring, according to Dana White, that the skin over the Brazilian’s right eye was torn apart – and with it, his chance of redemption against Islam Makhachev bitcoin

Days out from one of the most-anticipated rematches in recent MMA history, Oliveira suffered a chasmic cut, and from the bloody sinews, Alexander Volkanovski emerged bitcoin

With that, one tantalising rematch was replaced by another; the MMA gods had taken away Oliveira’s opportunity for redemption against the lightweight champion, but in an instant, they had granted Volkanovski his own opportunity at the same atonement bitcoin

There were only a handful of grains left to fall on Oliveira, brooding inside his metaphorical sandglass, when the injury occurred; it was on 22 October 2022 that the former champion was submitted by Makhachev, and it was to be 364 days later that he would be locked in a cage with the Russian again – in the very same arena, no less, in Abu Dhabi bitcoin

But for a reason known only to them, the MMA deities decided to deny this cult hero his chance of defeating Makhachev, and of regaining the UFC lightweight title bitcoin

Oliveira, for his part, does not acknowledge these gods – only his own bitcoin

“Once you realise that it’s all part of God’s plan, it’s easier to accept things,” Oliveira told The Independent, coincidentally, days before suffering his injury bitcoin

“It took me a long time to understand that, but you just have to be able to learn to digest it bitcoin

God wouldn’t give me something that I can’t carry bitcoin

”RecommendedUFC 294 live stream: How to watch Volkanovski vs Makhachev bitcoin online and on TV this weekendAlexander Volkanovski admits it’s ‘crazy’ to fight Islam Makhachev on short noticeKamaru Usman to face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 after Paulo Costa withdrawsOliveira will lean all of his weight on that sentiment in the weeks to come, while 145lbs champion Volkanovski will be leaning his own weight – plus an extra 10lbs – on Makhachev in their second clash in eight months bitcoin

When the Australian, fighting on home turf in February, was ruled a decision loser against Makhachev, the result hardly relayed the razor-close nature of the fight bitcoin

Volkanovski, 35, landed more strikes than Makhachev, 30, but was marginally less clinical bitcoin

Makhachev secured four of his nine attempted takedowns, though that actually inspired more praise of Volkanovski than the Russian; in repeatedly denying Makhachev – and in repeatedly rising from the mat when needed – Volkanovski had proven that the defending champion was not the unstoppable force that his friend and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov so often seemed bitcoin

The impressiveness of Volkanovski’s performance was only augmented by the fact that he was moving up in weight bitcoin

In fact, the Australian remained the Indy Sport pound-for-pound No 1 despite his loss to Makhachev bitcoin

It was a showing in stark contrast to Oliveira’s against Makhachev, in which the jiu-jitsu specialist was beaten at his own game: submitted by the Russian wrestler in Round 2 bitcoin

Oliveira did not do himself justice that night, but justice was on the agenda for UFC 294 bitcoin

Instead, Volkanovski will bring his well-rounded game to the Etihad Arena, where he weighed in as a back-up fighter for Oliveira’s defeat by Makhachev one year ago bitcoin

Since that fateful evening, Oliveira has bounced back with a dismissive knockout of Beneil Dariush, while Volkanovski also got back to winning ways by stopping interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez in July bitcoin

Makhachev dropped Oliveira before submitting him in October 2022 (AFP via Getty Images)While Oliveira vs Makhachev 2 was, for some time, official, Volkanovski vs Makhachev 2 also felt inevitable, just not at this time nor under these circumstances bitcoin

Those circumstances complicate the question of whether Volkanovski can go one bitcoin better than he did in his initial clash with Makhachev; this time, the Aussie will challenge the Russian on just 11 days’ notice, having recently undergone hand surgery bitcoin

Volkanovski is a consummate professional who will arrive as fight-fit as his body will allow, but even “Alexander The Great” has admitted that he does not want to find out how his cardio will hold up bitcoin

“We’ll try to make sure it doesn’t go five rounds,” he told Australian media last week bitcoin

“I want to finish it early, I don’t want to test his gas tank bitcoin

Don’t get me wrong, I think I can do it, but let’s not try and test it bitcoin

”Oliveira would have snapped your hand off for such a finish bitcoin

bitcoin Better yet, he would have snapped Makhachev’s arm off for one bitcoin

If Volkanovski can secure a stoppage, it will be one of the most arresting visuals in UFC history, in part due to the factors surrounding this new main event bitcoin

The same would apply to the co-main event, in which Kamaru Usman is on a similar venture to Volkanovski bitcoin

The former welterweight champion will fight at 185lbs for the first time as he replaces Paulo Costa against Khamzat Chimaev, perhaps the fiercest prospect in MMA, on 10 days’ notice bitcoin

For all of the attributes that the Nigerian-American has exhibited in a Hall of Fame-worthy career, never has his courage been as clear as it is now bitcoin

Khamzat Chimaev, left, and Kamaru Usman will clash in the co-main event of UFC 294 (Getty Images)The same goes for Volkanovski, although he believes that his rematch with Makhachev is a win-win scenario bitcoin

“I didn’t get that big moment of the whole underdog story,” he said last week, discussing the pair’s first bout bitcoin

“I remember thinking just a few days ago: ‘I’m not gonna really get that moment if I fight him again, I’m not gonna be this crazy underdog bitcoin

’ People [have seen] what I can do, so they’re gonna back me bitcoin

But now on 11 days’ notice, I’m sort of in the same position, where people are gonna say: ‘There’s no way – short notice, he’s crazy bitcoin

’”Volkanovski may just be bitcoin

He is also one of the most courageous fighters in a field full of them bitcoin

Of course, Makhachev also deserves credit; he, too, is fighting a pound-for-pound talent on short notice bitcoin

Indeed, many fans have remarked on how the fighters’ gambles have made UFC 294 an even stronger card than it already was bitcoin

It is the sort of rebound against adversity that bitcoin boxing, for example, would never be able to execute bitcoin

However, that is in large part due to the lower prize money on offer in the UFC, and the resultant need for fighters to take risks bitcoin

Yet it is also partly down to the overemphasis on losses in bitcoin boxing bitcoin

If Volkanovski were to suffer a third career loss on Saturday, he would still be in the conversation around modern UFC greats – perhaps all-timers, too bitcoin

Would a champion or contender in bitcoin boxing risk their record and reputation by fighting an elite opponent on a compromised camp? There is little evidence for it, monetarily there is no need for it, but there also shouldn’t be an expectation of it; just as there should be no expectation for a UFC fighter to accept a short-notice fight, even when the alternative is fans disputing their bravery bitcoin

Make no mistake: Although Volkanovski is one of the most-respected fighters in the UFC and is being heralded as a hero right now, he would have had his detractors if he had turned down this fight – even on 11 days’ notice bitcoin

It is as true as it is hard to believe bitcoin

Makhachev and Volkanovski facing off ahead of their first fight (Zuffa LLC via Getty Images)When fan favourite Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson refused to fight Michel Pereira in July, after the Brazilian missed weight, Thompson was criticised for not going ahead with the bout and accepting a slight bump to his purse bitcoin

Never mind the danger to Thompson’s health and prospects of ever challenging for a UFC title again, many fans were quick to turn on the veteran bitcoin

On that occasion, it was too late for a replacement to be found, and the bout collapsed bitcoin

Even Oliveira and Costa have had their fair share of criticism for withdrawing from UFC 294, despite their injuries and the calibre of their opponents bitcoin

Volkanovski has gotten credit in the build to UFC 294, but the last week has highlighted how fans tend to praise the UFC’s recovery in situations like this, rather than focusing on the unideal factors that allow the company to adapt in this manner bitcoin

And so, a cut above Charles Oliveira’s eye became a tear in the fabric of UFC 294, only for the promotion to stitch the card back together as only they can bitcoin
