“Pollard's brought a lot to the group but I'd say that the most valuable thing I've taken so far (from him) is constructing that run chase,” Salt told the reporters. “We've spoken a lot about taking eights from one side to take twelves from the other and that's 200 [runs].”
Player of the Match Salt effectively sealed victory after cutting loose in the 16th over, hammering 30 runs off West Indies bowler Romario Shepherd with an exhibition of power-hitting. The win marked an emphatic return to form for England, who laboured through the first round group phase and flirted with elimination at one stage.
Opening batsman Salt smashed seven fours and five sixes during a superb 47-ball knock at the Daren Sammy National Stadium as England made a flying start to the second round of the tournament.
