West Indies vs England: Kieron Pollard reacts to brutal loss

While speaking after the match, West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard said, "There's not a lot to explain - it was an unacceptable performance, but we do need to take this on the chin and move on. It's a matter of finding our straps, we have to find a way to get a fighting total on the board, today was a day where we couldn't find that balance, but we need to forget this and move on. This is an international sport, such days happen, but we need to find a solution. We have played a lot of T20 cricket around the world, this is something we have all experienced, you'll have to accept such days."

Pollard then added that the team has not lost hope as this was their first match and there are still four games remaining in the tournament which they look forward to. "Each game is important, we still have four games in the tournament and we'll have to look forward. Got an opportunity due to the injury, things do happen for a reason, he (Hosein) has worked hard in domestic cricket, his attitude is fantastic, he has plenty of energy and that's fantastic. I told the guys to give our best at the halfway stage," added West Indies skipper.
