I think that Morgan not playing affected the England performance. The bowling was not good but there was a couple of batsmen who had good innings.

Egland 193 for 6, West Indies 159 for 5. Excellent bowling by the English they kept the score under control through out the West Indies batting. England won by 35 runs
The series is level at 2 games each. The last match is tomorrow night

Been following it,but has not got to the stage where I want to watch it. Good attempt by the English to reach the total needed.

England lost he last match, the West Indies played well. Final score West Indies 179 for 4, England 162 all out good to watch , the West Indies won the series 3-2.

I'm guessing the final four balls wasn't so great to watch though....

"Jason Holder took four wickets from the final four balls to send England to a 17-run defeat in the deciding Twenty20 and give West Indies a 3-2 series win in Barbados."

I was a valiant attempt to get the runs required, they were only bowlers. This was not Englands first choice 20/20 team, however the spinners in this match really restricted the batsmen. The fast bowlers were not effective.

For sure being the final four wickets and balls, likely they weren't going to be proficient in batting skills!! Didn't see the match, but sounded exciting.....

Giles has resigned as Managing direstor after the ashes failure.
There has been another series of games I have been following the 50 over under 19s world cup.
The final is Saturday England v India. Obviously I would like England to win but India are very good.

Sad news Rodney Marsh the Australian passed away, he was a real character, brilliant to watch and set a few records.

And just on the BBC news, Shane Warne has passed away with a suspected heart attack in Thailand aged just 52!

Unbelievably, a second Australian cricketer dies - Shane Warne at just 52 died today from a suspected heart attack.

I remember watching him at his peak in 1997 at the World Cup finals in Pakistan. RIP

Very sad Shane Warne bowled one of the best I have ever seen when he bowled Gatting.
Two great characters,
