2 down early.....btw what is the point of Windies ever playing Bishoo? Captain clearly never has faith in him, never bowls his overs and jjst fields...surely someone else he must have faith in?

We have been unbelievably bad in this T20 series. Looks like nobody really knows their role, Holder doesn't have anywhere near the same grip on his field placings in this format. We're being duly thrashed.

I think choosing a ODI team for this format was highly questionable.

Still, excellent bowling by Jordan here, perfect line and length.

Carlos Brathwaite is literally braindead. Windies will still put together a team that competes when the only T20i cricket that matters comes about though, at the world cup. They always do.

This is the ODI squad playing T20. They made a deliberate decision to do this for the ODI sides continued development...

I'm not sure how getting thrashed is going to help our team morale....

Yeah that is a strange decision. To be honest a local club side should have been able to get more than 35/8 though.

Yeah they haven't looked right in either game tbh. Don't look convincing at all. I hope this doesn't undo all the good work so far this year.

TBF England have looked solid though. They look well drilled in this format.

We are an average T20 side I think, the batting power is levelled out vs ODIs as everyone just swings & bowling line up still average. Could win a world cup, but wouldn't be a favourite.

Good cricketing smarts with the ball today though. We were farting around with slow balls whilst England have bowled line and length and dug it into the pitch to great effect.
