Right, I think that’s it from me. Time for bed in wet and windy England. Huge congratulations to West Indies: to Forde and Carty, to Athanaze and Shepherd, to winning captain inspiration Shai Hope. England lick their wounds and move on, the five-match T20 series starts on Tuesday, with a few new faces flying in, and – at last- a break from the 50-over grind. Thanks for your emails, good night!
Jos Buttler, holding it together but the eyes are sad“We know we made a few mistakes with the bat. I thought it was a really good effort from the guys [with the ball], I thought the spinners were outstanding, we could have done with a few more runs on the board. The start of a long journey for these guys, we can build something for the future. I’m really looking forward to the T20s, a change of format.”
Player of the series and winning captain: Shai Hope. “I’m setting a decent example in the team but great to see the guys chipping in as well. There’s so much history in cricket, it’s hard to keep up [re the first win for 25 years] but we need to defend out home turf and hopefully we give some cheers to the West Indian fans.”
