England’s IT20 batting looks to have really good depth, especially in the A but also in the B and C lineups, and 200 to win would have been a breeze for them last night.
The problem they’ve got, as we also saw in the recent T20 World Cup, is the bowling. They conceded 25 runs too many in this match due to some wayward, rudderless faster bowling. And the same thing nearly cost them the game that they won at the weekend as well.
Moeen and Adil can typically be relied on to stabilise the middle overs and bowl full quota, and Livingstone is usually more effective than he was last night for at least two more overs (and all four of them on a good day), but that still leaves at least eight and as many as ten overs wherein England’s seamers are now quite consistently being creamed all around the ground, and particularly at the death.
Morgan needs to sort the bowling out. Radical changes to personnel are not even necessarily required here, more so tweaks to the strategy and a different, more measured approach being taken at certain crunch points in the game.

James with Archer being injured englands white ball seamers rarely look like taking wickets in both T20s and ODIs and i agree morgan has to look at that as otherwise england are pretty much dependant on trying to chase most of the time and hoping their batsmen bail them out.
Transition period perhaps. Morgan himself will bow out soon.
Even without Archer, England still have some solid options which need some fine tuning.
Saq has massive potential in Tests/ODI’s but we’ve seen he can be effective in T20’s to, especially at the death despite some recent mishaps, the experiences will help him.
Topley, the Currans, Wood and Woakes all make up a decent attack. On the Batting front there is amazing depth, maybe not as much on the bowling front but as one of you’ve said, strategy is key and how we make the most of the available resources.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) is aware that earlier today, voice notes were circulated on social media, and in sections of the regional broadcast media, suggesting that there is a rift within the West Indies Senior Men’s team. Contrary to the unsubstantiated statements, containing unfounded and mischievous allegations, CWI is satisfied that there is no discord between the Team Captain and any member of the West Indies team.
CWI President Ricky Skerritt said: “I view this as a malicious attack on the credibility of the West Indies Captain, designed to sow division within our team that has just recorded three very impressive T20I performances against very strong opponents, including two outstanding wins and one heroic comeback to get within one run of victory. This clear attempt by well-known mischief makers to discredit the Captain and to derail the Team’s momentum in the ongoing Betway T20I Series should not be tolerated or encouraged.”
