Opener and fast bowler played key roles in win over West Indies that reignited side’s T20 World Cup campaign
, stressing the importance of not getting too down when, during what was supposed to be a cruisy first round, England came within one further rain shower of elimination.
England have also looked to park that miserable 50-over World Cup last winter but it will not have escaped them that their next opponents are the ones who inflicted the nadir in India; that 229-run drubbing in Mumbai when they ripped up their selection strategy, bowled first in a furnace based on T20 stats, and were utterly manhandled by Heinrich Klaasen. No one has uttered the word “revenge” but motivation should not be an issue.
As well as crediting Jonny Bairstow for upping the ante during that middle phase, Salt explained that the confidence to sit in for a spell came from feeling more secure about his spot. There was also tactical input from the coach Kieron Pollard here, a plan to target eight an over at one end, 12 at the other, with the cross-breeze very much in mind.
