"The last two performances have not been anywhere near good enough."Again, we lost our way, and anytime we have a bump in the road we seem to have a bad three or four overs and we just can't deal with that setback. We just give all the momentum away to the opposition."We did it a bit with the ball and then with the bat. We were going well in the powerplay, but there were six or seven overs where we got behind the rate and lost wickets. Very disappointing."He added: "We just haven't played good enough. We had a very experienced team out there, there's no excuses."You can have great individuals, and we've got that. But we're just not playing well enough and are not smart enough either when push comes to shove."

‘Very strange' – Nick Kyrgios lets slip who BBC have replaced him with for Wimbledon and immediately fires dig at him

NICK KYRGIOS has revealed that world No108 Christopher Eubanks will replace him on the BBC's Wimbledon coverage this year. Kyrgios, 30, worked for the Beeb during last year's Championships, providing a fresh voice and perspective alongside usual suspects John McEnroe and Tim Henman. 5 5 Despite generally going down well with viewers, Kyrgios has not been signed up by the BBC for this year's tournament. The Aussie is set to miss his third Wimbledon in a row, having struggled with persistent knee and wrist injuries. Kyrgios' last match at the All-England Club was the 2022 final, in which he lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets. Eubanks' best run at Wimbledon came in the following year, when he stunned the likes of Cameron Norrie and Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing in five sets to Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals. On not being selected by the Beeb this year, Kyrgios told The Guardian: "It's unfortunate but it's probably their loss more than mine. "I understand they've got Chris Eubanks but he hasn't beaten the greatest of all time multiple times. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." In addition to working for the BBC at Wimbledon, Kyrgios has also appeared on Tennis Channel's coverage of the sport in the United States. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 5 5 American Eubanks, meanwhile, has been juggling his playing career with plenty of punditry. The former world No29 has also worked on Tennis Channel, as well as ESPN and most recently TNT Sports during Roland Garros. Nick Kyrgios breaks silence on split with ex-girlfriend Costeen Hatzi as Wimbledon finalist reveals new look Kyrgios has not shut the door on working for the BBC again in future. The former Australian Open men's doubles champion said: "I'm sure our paths will cross again. I only ever want to add humour, some knowledge and some great atmosphere." Due to injuries, Kyrgios has played just six singles matches since October 2022. The crowd entertainer last played in Miami in March, losing to Karen Khachanov in the second round. Despite his uncertain status, having since pulled out of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Kyrgios is determined to resume playing during the US hard court swing, culminating in a first appearance at Flushing Meadows in three years. He added: "Yes, for sure. I'm definitely playing the US swing and I'll take it one day at a time." 5

Jack Draper v Jiri Lehecka live: Queen's tennis scores and results before Alcaraz in action

Jack Draper will play in the semi-finals at Queen's Club for the first time today as he squares off against fellow rising star Jiri Lehecka with a place in the final on the line. The British No 1 beat Brandon Nakashima in a three-set battle in the quarter-finals on Friday, eventually triumphing 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. In addition to sealing a last-four spot that also guaranteed him a top four seeding at Wimbledon, meaning he'll avoid playing big guns Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner until at least the semi-finals at SW19. Talking of Alcaraz, the Queen's top seed had been in a titanic three-hour-plus battle on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals but had a much easier rider 24 hours later as he downed Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4 to book a spot today's semi-final against countryman Roberto Bautista Agut. That means the dream Draper v Alcaraz final is still a possibility. But Bautista Agut is a wily veteran, while Lehecka has impressed at Queen's ever since knocking out fifth seed Alex De Minaur in the first round and he'll be eyeing another British scalp in the form of Draper after beating Jacob Fearnley on Friday, as the British No 2 lost in straight sets in his first ATP quarter-final. Jack Draper seals huge Wimbledon boost after Queen's quarter-final victory On one level, it is mission accomplished for Jack Draper at Queen's Club this week. Of course, there is still a tournament to win, a prestigious tournament at that, especially for a British player. Rather tantalisingly, Draper remains on a final collision course with world No 2 Carlos Alcaraz. What a showdown that would be. But around these parts, there is always one eye firmly set on the big grass court dance, five miles south, in 10 days' time. The surprise first-round exit of current world No 4 Taylor Fritz this week, and the non-activity of No 5 Novak Djokovic, handed No 6 Draper a golden opportunity to seal a top-four seeding for Wimbledon. With that comes an easier quarter-final at SW19 – by ranking, avoiding the likes of Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner until the semis – should he get there.
