Joe Root says England were “out-skilled at times” by Windies as they crashed to a Test-series defeat in the Caribbean.
Root’s side suffered heavy losses by 381 runs and 10 wickets in Barbados and Antigua respectively and failed to pass 200 in either innings in the latter match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Windies’ Darren Bravo battled away to score 50 from 216 balls on a spicy surface, while England’s entire second innings lasted only 253 deliveries.
He said “Fair play to Windies, the found a way to manage the conditions with a couple of gutsy innings which kept them in the game,”
“The Windies bowlers exploited conditions and made it very difficult, so I think we can learn lessons there. We were out-skilled at times,” Root noted.
