Yes, they are working hard to fix their issues… if they took the missed chances, they would have win!

So, that's your lot. England have won a cricket match! But even in victory, they somehow managed to feel a bit defeated... but it's a new younger team, and an important rite of passage for Saqib Mahmood in particular. But from Alan, Thilak, Matt and the team, thanks and goodnight. See you on Wednesday!
7.41pm Time for some presentations... here's Moeen Ali, the Player of the Match: "Jas was going really well, I was quite fortunate, hung in there, he stepped it up beautifully. We thought we got a good score in the end, but they played well. CJ at the end played a great knock. A lot more clear now without playing red-ball, but you never quite win the game with the way they played. Me and Rash, we've played together quite a bit, and he makes it easier for me when the guys come after me."
Kieron Pollard:
"We lost wickets in clusters but the way we fought at the back end, they can hit the ball a long way, and the confidence that Akeal has... and Shepherd wants to put up his hand and take responsibility. [Spin] has been a thorn for us, we will overcome it, we are working diligently but the biggest disappointment was our fielding display. But confidence is high and it augurs well for the next three games."
Eoin Morgan: "I'm delighted, even with the last quarter of the game, these are the games we want to play in, tight games to work on death hitting and death bowling. But the majority of the day we adapted well, with more intent and clarity. We need to establish the rhythm of the game, not necessarily fluent partnerships ... dot, dot, dot, wicket, boundary. But we countered what West Indies had to offer. Every team in the world is trying to get better at death bowling. Conditions got better and the ball skidded on, but we need to find better execution, we'd like it to be up there with the best in the world. The majority of our plans was yorkers, to defend the wide side... and we missed."

Pollard said the biggest disappointment was the FIELDING. Not the INCONSISTENT AND POOR TOP AND MIDDLE ORDER ‘BATTING.’ He has said nothing of his own consistently abysmal ‘BATTING’ performances. Btw when is the next CWI yo yo test scheduled?

Wrong.
He said his batting was poor.
And he is correct about the 2 drop catches costing the match.
Polly provides the best post match interviews from AMONG all our various captains since Lara. He is exact, precise and tells the truth.

I heard the interview. He said nothing about HIS inconsistent and POOR ‘batting’!! The ‘catch’ that Bravo missed was a miscalculation with the swirling wind. Hossein was dropped by the English captain while on 16, umpire Joel missed a clear wide call, etc etc…However what is the MOST consistent, is the failure of West Indies top and middle order batting, led by the most experienced and heralded captain Pollard. I prefer his batting to do the talking instead of his ‘exact and precise’ post match interviews. Gayle may not have been the most eloquent, but his bat surely made up for it in ALL formats!
