They all got the engine warm, just that no one could go through the gears and carry the innings. Not sure another bat would have helped. One of the ones they picked had to make more of their opportunity and bat through.

Yes fair point. If Gayle or Hope had got going it would be a different story.
The WI side reminds me a bit of how we looked before Stokes broke through (thinking '11 world cup here). We had 6 batsmen followed by Yardy and 4 bowlers. Wasn't much there other than the top 6 - how times have changed now!
Back to the game I expect us to knock these runs off easily enough - England to win by 7 wickets.
