England was anticipated to recover in the three-match series against the West Indies after a disappointing showing in the just-finished ODI World Cup, but they lost 2-1. The Three Lions have now seen a tremendous reaction, particularly from captain Jos Buttler, who has thus far performed below average. Head coach Matthew Mott, on the other hand, wants to diffuse the tension and asks the supporters to have patience while they are rebuilding.
According to Matthew Mott, the squad had the chance to win all three of the ODIs in the series, but they squandered the chance. Despite the series defeat, he recognized a lot of positives, such as the players’ friendship.
The dissatisfaction stems from the fact that we haven’t assembled a fully functional game. That’s not ideal because we gave ourselves a chance to win all three games and end up losing the series. However, there are some very strong indications that there is a group of people that like playing together. According to ESPNcricinfo, Mott said, “I think it’ll really take the game forward because they’re some really good mates in there.”
We would surely want to make an investment in Sam Curran: Matthew Mott
Sam Curran’s series against the West Indies was inconsistent. He cost a lot of money in the first ODI, giving up 98 runs in 9.5 overs, but he came back strong in the second game to earn POTM. About him, Mott stated that the team management is prepared to make an investment in the young player since they believe he will take Chris Woakes‘ spot in the starting lineup.
“We absolutely want to invest in Sam as a player. He plays the game incredibly well and has a lot of attributes that we like,” Mott said.
The players shown a great deal of grit and spirit in the third One-Day International (ODI), which England lost by four wickets (DLS method), according to Mott. He asks for patience nevertheless, saying he doesn’t want to offer any kind of justification.
