Bridgetown (Barbados), March 29: Andrew Strauss has predicted that England will bounce back strongly and win the fourth one-day international to level the series against West Indies at the Kensington Oval on Monday.
The England captain has admitted that his side’s eight-wicket defeat under the Duckworth-Lewis Method in the rain-affected third ODI was “humiliating” and “embarrassing”.
England were routed for a modest 117 in 41.3 overs in a match reduced to 44 overs-a-side by rain and West Indies needed only 14.4 overs to clinch victory and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
But Strauss believes that England can recover and throw themselves a lifeline in the series.
“I think we need to dig pretty deep and find a way of making sure we get over the line next time, and give absolutely everything and come off the field with a victory. If two or three of us can do this, we will have a very good chance of winning,” Strauss added.
