Kieron Pollard , Winning captain - 'Can't keep a good man down' chirps Kieron Pollard. It's wonderful, many have given up on this team, but every single individual has rallied around, there have been a lot of negative things written about us, but this win is for everyone out in the dressing room. They have worked tirelessly coming from Jamaica (after the Ireland series), and have bounced back pretty well. We now have an understanding as to how to get the game going, we have come close to winning several times before, but came short at times. We have learnt from all these things. This was a virtual final, so runs on the board are crucial, whatever we get, we can add 10-15 runs tagged to the pressure. We started well, did stall in the middle, but I thought we did well in the last four overs. The guys came out, everything we tried came off pretty well, Akeal at the start and spinners in the middle. I thought Brandon (King) had a great series, you can't keep Holder out of the game, Akeal was good and so was Odean, despite what has been written about him. His three overs at the top was crucial - as I said before, was a complete team effort
Jason Holder , Player of the Match and Player of the Series - A classic finish, wasn't the best start, but I just wanted to stay in the game. Did not work well yesterday, but was totally the opposite tonight. I was a bit disappointed with the no-ball, I look to be disciplined, but then to get the next five balls perfectly was nice. Was just pumped up, I love to play at Kensington Oval, we've the best fans in the world, credit to the English fans for coming in as well. A lot of hard work, can improve on my death bowling, add some variations. But I'm gaining confidence and so is the captain in me. Bowling the last over tonight just added to it, I'm happy that I was given the responsibility. I am feeling good about my role in the team, I pass on my experience, pride myself as a complete team player, just want to put my hand up, even when I'm not bowling, I can share a few things with the younger lot. A lot of thanks to the management and the staff. Big thumbs-up to the ECB and the English guys, they aren't just great players, but they're good and fumble players. Happy to have them here in Barbados, that helps us as a team and as an economy as well Looking forward to the Barmy Army coming over during the Test series.
Moeen Ali: "West Indies were the better team tonight and overall I thought we didn't adapt that well to these conditions but we played some good cricket, we obviously fell short but it was a good series. Today we didn't bowl too bad they played some amazing shots. Powell in particular was fantastic again. But these are one of those things we are trying to find solutions, we will get better as time goes on and when someone like Jofra and other guys come back as well. The new ball comes on the bat nicer but as gets touch as it gets older. That was the difference between the two teams, batting and bowling they were smarter than us today. But again it was a great series and a spectacle for everybody, we thoroughly enjoyed it, we didn't win and that was a bit disappointing. It was a learning experience. We generally struggle in these conditions on flatter surfaces but we want to be better in these conditions going forward and its good to see the younger guys put in some good performances. Tuppers (Topley) was fantastic with the new ball and Rashid throughout the series was fantastic. I definitely enjoy leading but there is Jos as well who is a fantastic captain. He has got a brilliant cricket head and he is the guy who normally takes over from Eoin when he is not playing. I don't really think about those things but I enjoyed and its great fun."
West Indies got off to a great start after winning the toss and opting to bat first, Mayers looks dangerous in the powerplay helped by Brandon King on the other end who together scored 58-0 in the Powerplay. Adil Rashid broke the partnership in the 7th over by dismissing Mayers for 31, Romario Shehpard was promoted up the order for a quickfire inning which failed, he managed to get 6 runs of the 5 balls he played, Pooran was the next man to take strike, right from the beginning he didn’t look comfortable at the crease and his struggle was soon ended by Rashid again, who picked his second wicket of the game finished with figures of 4 overs – 17 runs – 2 wickets. Livingstone was the other successful bowler for England finished with the figures of 3 overs – 17 runs– 2 wickets. Pollard and Powell finished the innings with a flurry of boundaries and sixers and pushed the West Indies total to 179 which at one stage was looking hard to get
With the pitch assisting stroke play, West Indies had to get the early breakthrough in the powerplay overs which they did right in the first over, Hosein got the big wicket of Roy but they leaked 56 runs in the powerplay and managed to take only two wickets. Oden Smith caused problems for England dismissing Banton 16, he almost got Moeen Ali the very next ball, but unfortunately, the catch was dropped at gully. Moeen did not look in the same kind of form as yesterday and got out to Holder right after the drinks break in the 11th over, scoring just 14 of 19 balls. Vince on the other hand looked magnificent with the bat, was timing the ball excellently, and kept the charge on but he too was dismissed by Hosien in the 14th over. Philip Salt was Hosein’s next victim who got 3 of 6. Hosein was the pick of the bowlers for the Windies picking up 4 for 30 in his 4 overs.
48 runs were required in the last 3 overs, Oden Smith was
hammered all over the park by Billing for 20 runs in the 18th over. Down
to 28 runs to get of the last two overs, Cotrell came up with a magnificent
penultimate over, giving away only 8 runs despite bowling a no-ball. 20 runs
were required of the last over and drama! Holder oversteps on his first delivery
but came back brilliantly picking up a HATRICK, and then went on to pick the last wicket as well. 4 wickets in a row were taken, the crowd erupted and it was all
over for England. Sam Billing scored 41, showed some aggressive intent at the back end
of the game, looked like taking the game away from Windes but
it was too difficult and a task for him alone.
West Indies win the match by 17 runs.

W We have a double hat trick on the cards and it's all over! Fuller delivery on the off stump, Saqib Mahmood looks to hoick this over long on but gets a soft inside edge which clips his off stump!
