This is English Series -- Big money. I hear Nikhil calling out the speeds so they have the technology but not sure why we not seeing it. Jofra's pace is down or probably more controlled.

Yup. Is this England's B team?

All-out speed is not for white-ball cricket; it is just accuracy.

Jacks, Salt, Curran, Livingstone, Rashid, and Archer not all first team?

Yes you are right. Variations more important.

Think they must have it as Bish was able to quote the speed a couple of times during commentary.
May have been an oversight I think.

Joseph was quoted as hitting over 145kph a few times and regularly over 135kph. To the eye, Archer was more controlled but still lively. Motie used his variations expertly.

I haven't really been impressed with the visualization done by the production Whisper. To me they fall short when it comes to the graphics. No doubt they have it but it's just very drab especially for a series in the Caribbean. Some the best production comes from Australia ans rhe sub continent. Even in England the visuals are very drab.
To me the use of colours could be better not just maroon and ble but a gradient mixture. They don't even show like the partnership screens in 3d as you see it happening in almost every series outside of England ans West Indies. As I say very drab

But the video production end, it's very drab

They do have speed guns /radars.

The issues is the commentary.

Very basic.

I watched on TNT and SuperSports.

No speed showing up.

I know that the speed guns re there only because the commentators mentioned speed many times.
