One would think a decent replacement for him would be Rutherford. It's a like for like.

This is a seriously dangerous West Indies side , wouldnt surprise me if they won the T20 WC ..
Ridiculous power hitting right through the batting lineup with Holder at No.9 .

Well before this year WI hadnt beaten England in an odi series at home since 1998 so not true for ODI cricket in recent history ..
As for T20's dont think there is much difference between the two teams and whatever difference is levelled by home advantage for the West Indians who play a lot of T20 cricket.

better than England at the moment, but sadly that isn't saying much!
who hasn't? Bangladesh, Pakistan and Holland was it from the World Cup.....

wasn't an awe inspiring tail, Curran, Woakes, Rashid, Ahmed, Mills, looks better on paper than usually does in the middle, but fault falls with the cameo capers at the top, biff, bosh, bash and out. I know it's a short format, 120 balls, but can't keep losing wickets regularly and about time one of them went on rather than bat quickly more fitting to later in the innings.
77/0 to 129/5, that's where England lost it, and to sink the point home that was from 6th over to the 1st ball of the 14th..... 52 runs added, 5 of the main batsmen down, 43 balls from 1st to 5th wicket. Nice run rate for England, brilliant wicket rate for windies
England were never going to win with that bowling attack from there, opened with the seemingly growingly inept Curran and gave Jacks the new ball, Mills, probably the most likely bowler consigned to second change, best spinner fourth change and in spite of already using Jacks to no effect decided to give Livingstone overs in a situation of zero control

I mean yeah, but they should've been chasing 200+ until the England innings fell apart.
If they lose this series too his position should be seriously under threat. Why are we playing Mills instead of Turner? Just bizarre selections.

I didn't watch the game. And all I've read is the scorecard.
But I know deep in my heart that it wasn't Woakes' fault.

I don't rate Curran for ODIs at the moment, but would have him in the T20 side for sure. He was Man of the Tournament in the World Cup just last year. Mills was top wicket taker in the Hundred this year so not a completely wild pick either (Archer and Topley would be ahead of him if available).
