Could have won this game, against all odds. Excellent stuff from Archer to get us to a run-a-ball with 20 odd needed but then a lack of experience I spose done for him. He just needed to think on his feet a little and Shahzad was probably the man to tell him.
Why no Garton? He's been excellent and I was looking forward to seeing him. Maybe he was 'rested' but not picking him could well have been the difference.
I do like our middle/lower order at the moment from a power hitting point of view, especially if Evans is at six. With Jordan back at some point that will be even better, as will the bowling and fielding. I'm not sure our lower middle order is a good reason to play the West Indies style, and pretty dated, wickets in hand then all out with the hitters. Wright and Nash at least need to be more expansive, and natural.
