WI won the toss and chose to bowl

4 debutants for England...some weather around apparently

[Durhamfootman]

just as well, given the underwhelming nature of the England batting card

[bigfluffylemon]

That was terrible, but it's hard to be too critical given the scheduling and injuries means England were fielding a very green XI. 4 debutants, and only one player (Rashid) with more than 35 ODIs to his name.

What's worrying though is how little list A cricket most of the England players have. But then, we can't be doing silly thing like letting our up and coming talents practise international formats - not when there's the hundred to play.

[mikesiva]

England 209 all out

Livingston 48

Motie 4-41
Seales 2-22
Alzarri 2-46
Forde 2-48

Target 157-2 off 35 overs

West Indies 157-2

Lewis 94

West Indies won by eight wickets.

[Arthur Crabtree]

This really looks like an England A tour. Though credit to WI for a big win.

[andy]

Really don't understand why overton is playing...batting 8 and not bowling what's the point...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Death bowler? Given there wasn't an end of innings.

[andy]

No listening to commentary yesterday there was talk of him still not being fit enough to bowl...if that's the case don't need a 'batter' at 8...better off picking an actual bowler top 7 should be enough batting

[Arthur Crabtree]

Don't seem to have many batting options...

[andy]

That top 7 is good enough to score runs just needs time...picking Jamie overton at 8 for batting is a ridiculous selection

[Durhamfootman]

are England forgetting to play the 'catches win matches' game, again?
