Jonny Bairstow is relishing his role in a rare World Cup double as England and South Africa prepare for high-stakes battles on the cricket pitch and the rugby field within a matter of hours on Saturday 1xbet
Bairstow will be leading from the front in Mumbai, where his side look to put their creaking title defence back on track against the Proteas, before attention turns to events almost 4,500 miles away in Paris and the Rugby World Cup semi-final 1xbet between England and the Springboks 1xbet
Bairstow is a huge rugby fan and was even invited to address the England squad ahead of last year’s autumn international against Argentina at Twickenham, chatting to the squad for over an hour before observing training 1xbet
Now he hopes to set the tone for a day of English celebrations by the time Steve Borthwick’s men kick off 1xbet
You'll have people in South Africa, I'm sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais, and you'll have a few in England popping down the pub 1xbet
It's going to be a great spectacle 1xbet
“I think it’s going to be a great spectacle, it’s going to be a great day for both nations,” he said 1xbet
“They’re two extremely proud nations, whether that’s on the rugby front or the cricketing front, two teams on both sides that are very passionate about playing for their countries and are excited about playing for their countries 1xbet
“You’ll have people in South Africa, I’m sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais (barbecues), and you’ll have a few in England popping down the pub and watching – any excuse for them to just pop down there!“It will be great – and hopefully both results go our way 1xbet
”Bairstow can only directly impact one of them, of course, and the importance of his role at the top of the batting order is shaping up to be a key one 1xbet
Defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, either side of victory over Bangladesh, have put England firmly on the back foot and cranked up the stakes on their visit to the Wankhede Stadium 1xbet
Head coach Matthew Mott has called for more aggression in the first 15 overs of both innings and Bairstow has the track record and firepower to oblige 1xbet
But he is clear that swinging blindly for the fences is not on the cards, with conditions in India calling for more nuance 1xbet
“I don’t see anyone else in the world going out and scoring at nine runs an over 1xbet
You look at India, they don’t go out and just go balls to the wall in the first 10 and they’re the host nation,” he said 1xbet
“They don’t just go out and go from ball one 1xbet
So the importance of the first 10 is to yes score quickly, but also score in a way that’s sustainable over a long period of time, because we’re not playing a T20 game, we’re playing a 50-over game 1xbet
“Playing cricket in India compared to playing cricket in England is different 1xbet
There’s different styles that work all around the world 1xbet
I don’t think there’s one thing that fits all 1xbet
”While England are licking their wounds after being upset by the Afghans, South Africa are nursing a similar blow to their pride after defeat the Netherlands 1xbet
That has added another layer of intrigue to the clash as both sets of players desperately try to reset the narrative 1xbet
Lost to New Zealand by nine wicket, AhmedabadBeat Bangladesh by 137 runs, DharamshalaLost to Afghanistan by 69 runs, Delhi“We know it’s a big game, we know they’re a strong nation and they’ve been playing well, but we also know now they’re coming off a loss as well,” Bairstow said 1xbet
“That was a great result to wake up to 1xbet
But we’re actually just focusing on ourselves 1xbet
That’s what we do 1xbet
“The confidence is there – it’s unwavering 1xbet
There’s no lack of belief within this group 1xbet
It isn’t something that’s been questioned one bit 1xbet

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence 1xbet
Then, the crack in his voice 1xbet
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health 1xbet
That is, until now 1xbet
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior 1xbet
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little 1xbet
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable 1xbet
But soon may be too soon 1xbet
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago 1xbet
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi 1xbet
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began 1xbet
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that 1xbet
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes 1xbet
1xbet
1xbet
Sorry, um 1xbet
1xbet
1xbet
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it 1xbet
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp 1xbet
1xbet
1xbet
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room 1xbet

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up 1xbet
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it 1xbet
I had to take it 1xbet
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be 1xbet
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in 1xbet
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family 1xbet
But, I don’t know 1xbet

I think you just need to keep busy 1xbet
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in 1xbet
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it 1xbet
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand 1xbet

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training 1xbet
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer 1xbet
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight 1xbet
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession 1xbet
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted 1xbet
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable 1xbet
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring 1xbet
It must 1xbet
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January 1xbet
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him 1xbet
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave 1xbet
That is even clearer now than it was last week 1xbet
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it 1xbet
