- Australia’s cricketers poured their hearts out and shared their Cricket World Cup dreams in a barefoot bonding session at Edgbaston as the champions look to rally in their semi-final clash against England.
Rocked by a spate of injuries and a surprise 10-run loss to South Africa, coach Justin Langer, a self-described “hippy”, had his players whip their socks and shoes off for a lap of a ground that has not produced overwhelming success for Australian teams. “ just a moment to get a feel for the ground - literally,” said Peter Handscomb, drafted in as injury cover after Shaun Marsh’s departure.“It was nice. You get a feel of the grass on your feet, the positive and negative energy flowing through and coming out of the earth.”
However, the ground holds special memories for Australian fans who remember the 1999 World Cup semi-final when Steve Waugh’s side held on for a famous draw against South Africa with two balls to spare.Precious memories aside, the champions’ planning for the semi-final has been hurt by the loss of batsman Usman Khawaja, ruled out of the tournament with a hamstring injury.
