They got off to a terrible start, being reduced to 67\/6 inside 18 overs, and never recovered from the setback with none of their batsmen failing to register even a half century.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It wasn&#39;t a very good start. But it&#39;s not about the start, it&#39;s about the finish. We don&#39;t want to peak too early,&quot; Richardson was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The former Windies captain said that the manner of the defeat didn&#39;t reflect the true capability of the team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;This performance tonight is no reflection of how we&#39;ve been training or anything about the mood in the camp. We have worked really hard. It is just very strange that England got the better of us. It&#39;s just one of those things. We have prepared well,&quot; he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But the former right-handed batsman said the performance left a lot to be desired from the team. However, they are determined to address the performance and rectify their mistakes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Of course, we are unhappy with the performance. So we will review, we will reassess and we will come back. But if you had seen us training, you would have seen a bunch of really happy guys, who are training hard and did everything they had to do. So this performance came as a shock. I don&#39;t have explanations because I didn&#39;t expect it,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
