The batter is hopeful the tourists will bounce back on Wednesday after losing the opening ODI to West Indies
If there was any trace of devastation or discord in England’s squad after their defeat by the world’s 10th-ranked side in the opening one-day international in Antigua it was impossible to distinguish at their first training session since that game. It began with a particularly raucous game of pig, the football keepy-uppy game that has long since been adopted as a regular warm-up.
A minor novelty has been introduced for this tour: instead of simply getting their ear flicked, a die-roll decides the punishment for whoever is responsible for letting the ball drop, and the game thus concluded with Phil Salt bending over while Brydon Carse wellied the ball towards his posterior.
