West Indies vs England 2014

Am not having Giles as coach. He looks clueless. Lets fuck him off quickly before he does more damage.

Not only gameplan but improvement of general technique against spinners and in all forms of the game not just limited overs is required to my mind. One would hope that Giles and Gooch can sort that. Morale and understandably confidence seems to be at a very low ebb at the moment. An inspirational leader required, that may be a bigger problem to solve.

2nd T20 starts 18.00. England stand in Captain Morgan won the toss and England will bat. Rumours that Parry in for injured Broad and Moeen Ali to replace Wright.

UPDATE Moeen in but for Stokes. Well he was in but out now Eng. 26/3 off 5 overs. Lumb 4 Moeen 5 Morgan 3. Pathetic.

England doing much better Hales 44 and Butler 49* (off 30 odd balls) 107/4 14.3 overs look to be heading for a par-ish score but play stopped due to a shower.

I'm not surprised that Stokes was left out, as I've never been convinced by him as a T20 player. I see that Wright still survives though, despite a grim run of form. Anyway it looks like the covers are coming off now, so hopefully play will resume again soon after this rain break.

Play is now underway again. Buttler has gone to his 50 and England are 109/4 from 15 overs.

England finish on 152/7 with Buttler making 67 from 43 balls. No Broad or Root today, so Bresnan will open the bowling.

West Indies win by five wickets with an over to spare but at least England put up a fight this time. Good bowling from Bopara 1-10.

England hopeless in the batting powerplay,losings wickets & just not hitting boundaries.

The Windies looked like a team ready to defend their t20 title.
England looked like team who are having a holiday in the Caribbean
