Jonny Bairstow seizes chance with unbeaten century as England crush West Indies in Old Trafford ODI
England gave West Indies a lesson in how to bat in one day cricket as Jonny Bairstow fully justified his position as an opener with a fine century in an easy victory for his team.
The seven wicket defeat confirmed West Indies will now have to go through a qualifying tournament early next year to play in the 2019 World Cup, a summation of how far their one-day cricket has fallen.
They had to win this series either 4-0 or 5-0 to stay in the top eight in the rankings, the cut off for World Cup qualification, but after this result it will be England eyeing up such a thumping win.
