England captain, Graeme Swann, admitted that "a little 'pressure, a little inexperience and ineptitude little, on balance up to Horror Show", as a full unfancied West Indian team rallies to defend the target less than 114, and pulled out an impressive 25-run victory thanks to Man-of-the-match spell in 3 sets for four rookies left arm spinner, Garey Mathurin.
Needing less than run the ball from the start, and the memory of ten wicket Twenty20 first cruise on Friday evening, England run-chase as expected, began to seal 2-0 series win and make them lively second note International Summer. But spell unnerved Mathurin, his first appearance in any type of cricket in England, stifled their ambitions by Power Play, and left the lower order rate of recovery too.
"God works in mysterious ways," said Mathurin, a childhood friend of the captain, and his colleague from St. Lucia, Darren Sammy. "Everybody gets their turn and my turn came only at age 28. The English people had not seen me before, so I knew I could go out and do the job. We have good team unity and cohesion will only worked. "
The result is a touch Swann feel humiliated at the end of what has been a remarkable season for England, but even after having been seduced by 88 years, he felt his team had been "exceptional" in the first half of competition, and is believed that probably would realize that this setback could not have learned in victory.
"Through the game that were outstanding and puts us in a position where we can not lose a cricket match," said Swann. "Let's face it, not to chase 113 in international cricket is unacceptable. West Indies upset and responded well, but not enough to roll a team of 88. It was a custom blended with a bit of panic, and four run- outs is crazy to run a small total in a field so large. "
Short end of season break, the English head out of a peninsula next week to begin five ODI tour to India, where they can not handle by rotating the surface clearly influences the type of wickets they can expect to face when they arrive. Continuing along the line, England will be defending their world crown Twenty20 spin-friendly surfaces in Sri Lanka next year, and this screen, they need to work on the manipulation of the field as well as limit the ability to study.
"For all the positive aspects of the evening of Friday, there was a good few negative points that must be resolved in our game before playing similar tracks in the next 12 months," said Swann. "We will try to return in the first six acquisitions again, and if we can have a good thing the way that hitting is that it is totally unacceptable and not allowed to reproduce.
"It's a hostile environment in international cricket and you will find a few things about people when they're under the pump," he added. "Today, there were one or two guys do not respond as well, but I'm sure, knowing that this team I do and how they were trained, it is a simple spot. I would not write off all XI that played that night, nor any of the 14 in the team because they are all great cricketers. "
In England, the defense was on their side missing several of its most experienced campaigners, not least, Eoin Morgan, whose clever use of angles would have been ideal to keep the rate of mobile execution. But Swann thought the selected team has yet to do much better. "I would find an excuse for them and say they are inexperienced, but they are not novices in the Twenty20 cricket," he said. "I am not blaming only the first six, I blame the 11 players with the bat, because we were quite appalling.
"The left-handed spinner, you can not argue about September 3, but the three guys who probably came from him to see the shots they played and to be quite frightened," he added. "We gave him to get an exceptional figure, and caught us-hop. But I hope that every batsman who got out to look and think:" I do not do it again. "We were still playing down 6-7 to run the ball, but the wickets have fallen, some were due to very unusual ball. It was bad shots and poor operational programs and their shots."
For Mathurin and his teammates, however, the result was the ideal tonic for their defeat in Friday night, and went a long way in answer to many critics - in the Caribbean and around the world. "Yes, we had a point to prove," said Mathurin. "England played very, very well on Friday, so we were game for some pride, and then go back to them a lot. We knew we could do it. I hope this shows all the energy and enthusiasm that we received, and we hope that everyone will see what we can do. "
