ICC Cricket World Cup 2019's lighter Side, week 1: Ben Stokes is Super Zen, Mark Nicholas is singing, South Africa are stumbling

Carnival of Cricket When England last hosted the World Cup in 1999 it did little to enhance the nation’s reputation for sporting competence. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it did give viewers of South Africa-Bangladesh the chance to hear Mark Nicholas singing the opening lines of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water. Although, in truth, anyone seeing Buttler smile coyly while resplendent in England’s excellent World Cup kit would probably forgive him anything. Stokes later displayed his shaman ways in the field by making time stand still as he somehow caught an Andile Phehlukwayo bullet slog off Adil Rashid during South Africa’s forlorn chase. Fielding questions Unlike pakistan, South Africa are striving for success by completely inverting their knock-out tournament stereotype.They played their part in the World Cup’s first truly enthralling game against Bangladesh on Sunday but ultimately it was their second loss in two games.
