Willey to Shai Hope, out Caught by Hales!! "A continuation of what we saw in the second T20I," says Darren Ganga on air. Horror start for Windies. A soft dismissal. It was an innocuous delivery from Willey - pitched up and wide of off, Hope leant across and chipped it straight to the fielder at cover. Looked like, he gave a catching practice to the fielder.

Willey to Hetmyer, out Caught by Jordan!! Another soft dismissal. The slower ball does the trick. A fullish ball at 115kph, Hetmyer doesn't pick the change of pace and goes through with his stroke - lofted off-drive - way too early. Gets it off the toe-end and chips it towards mid-off.

The board, selectors, and whoever else thought it was a good idea to keep a poorly selected ODI team together to build team spirit before the World Cup in England for a T20 series. Totally different mind and skill set required in this format.
Who will take responsibility for this EMBARASSMENT to our cricket?????
What ever little spirit was built has been TOTALLY DESTROYED.
But Nurse was smart enough to twist his finger so he was not part of this. Place guaranteed for England again.
