Disappointed with the Jos Buttler-led England team’s performance in the World Cup so far, London-based father-son pair of Steve and Luke McCarthy enjoyed the Bangladesh versus South Africa game at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. 

However, both decided not to wear the England jersey and supported Bangladesh and SA through their respective jerseys. Steve, 48, told mid-day: “England have disappointed us. They were so tired during the game against South Africa. I think to be consistent in this 50-over format is too much to ask from them. Hence, we chose our favourite team for today’s [Tuesday] game. Bangladesh are the underdogs. They are fighters, but Bangladesh have just 10 per cent chance today.”
