Cricket World Cup 2019 is here. Probably the most challenging of the moment in any international cricketer's life. History beckons a few; those who have won before want to win again; those who haven't want to improve their resume. The pressure on both becomes equal eventually. Its all about expectations and they are at the zenith in the World Cup. Its may be a cliche but those who can handle pressure will do better. And those who adapt to the conditions will come up trumps. Not a rocket science that. So who has better opportunity to handle pressure well and adapt well to the conditions? Being home team, England obviously will adjust quickest and perhaps better than all teams. More importantly, they have eventually got into the swing of the limited overs format and have shed their traditional conservative approach at the batting crease.
