Kieron Pollard [West Indies captain]: There's nothing a lot to explain - it was an unacceptable performance from us. But we do need to take this on the chin and move on. We have to find a way to get a fighting total on the board. Today was a day where we couldn't find that balance. But we need to forget this and move on. This is an international sport, such days happen, but we need to find a solution & get out of this. We have played a lot of T20 cricket around the world. These are things we all have experienced. Everyone should be ready to accept such days. Each game is important, we still have four games in the tournament and we'll have to look forward. Akeal got an opportunity due to the injury of Fabian Allen. Things do happen for a reason. He has worked hard in domestic cricket & played really well in the CPL. He had bowled some hard overs. His attitude is fantastic, he has plenty of energy and that's great. I told the guys to give our best at the halfway stage.
England vs West Indies | ICC T20 World Cup | Post Match Analysis
England starts their T20 world cup campaign with a win over West Indies. After sending to bat, the Windies just scored 55 runs. England comfortably chased the total losing a couple of wickets. This win would definitely boost the team's momentum & confidence. On the other hand, West Indies have to solve their batting issues. Group A, known as "The Group of Death" has got some outstanding teams & the qualification for the semi-finals won't be easy. Can the Windies make a comeback in the next match? There has been a lot of talks regarding the batting position of Chris Gayle. Should he open or bat at no 3? England lost a couple of wickets while chasing such a low total. Is that a point to worry about? Watch our post-match show for the detailed analysis of today's match!
