At least we're batting second which should help pace the innings.

Wouldn't mind some exciting batting from the West Indies. They've nothing to lose really.

That was a beezer from Rashid. Carty must be spewing at getting out to that.

I love the way they think Stevie Wonder represents Caribbean music.

West Indies need fielding practice.

Overall - series just felt too easy. But I don't think England will be scaring India or Australia too much just yet. We'll see.
If I were to look into my crystal ball, I don't fancy England against India in the test series or Australia later in the year. I don't think there's enough in the England bowling attack. The spinners aren't good enough, too many part time spinners, and there isn't enough pace at the moment. Stokes will have to bowl a lot, in my opinion. And whilst he usually takes wickets, he usually gets injured too. Unfortunately.
Imagine India against our spinners and Australia against our pace on their flat tracks and you'll see what I mean.
Batting, I think England are ok - if they make the right choices. No lack of skill and power in the batting. Just often that poor decision making - which again, you wouldn't fancy Australia or India to do.
Just some cricket thoughts with the new one day captain in. I've always liked Brook. Best of luck to him.

In a quite dreadful week around the world, there is a ray of hope:-
'Australia lose the World Cup Final'.
Suddenly I feel a bounce in my step........
