The England World Cup squad have become the butt of many jokes after their early ouster from the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in the group stages. And if that wasn’t enough, the world of wrestling is the latest to poke fun at the English team for their dismal performance in the tournament. (ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Full coverage)
Commentator and former wrestler John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield, known as JBL to many, seized the opportunity to sledge the English squad during this week’s World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) Monday Night Raw show.
According to News.com.au report, during the fight involving English wrestler Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan, Layfield stated that Barrett was about to look like England after Bangladesh outclassed them in the Pool A match, while the two participants were wrestling in the arena.
The criticism came following England’s 15-run loss against Bangladesh, which led to their exit from the quadrennial tourney. England have won just two games out of six — against Scotland and on Friday against Afghanistan. (ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Points Table)
