As West Indies take a 2-1 lead into the five-match Twenty20 International series against England at Kensington Oval with the remaining matches set for tomorrow and Sunday, there are aspects of play by Kieron Pollard’s team, which have thrilled regional fans.Whether it was Jason Holder’s career-best figures of four for seven off 3.4 overs, an unbeaten 52 by opener Brandon King - both in the first match, which West Indies won by nine wickets last Saturday, the late power-hitting by Romario Shepherd and Akeal Hosein in a one-run defeat the following day, or Rovman Powell’s breathtaking, maiden century on Wednesday in a 20-run victory, getting the best out of the team should be of paramount importance.Powell was a joy to watch. Brought into the side for his first match of the series in place of fellow Jamaican Odean Smith, and against the background of mustering just 66 runs in his previous seven innings including one not out for an average of 11.00, dating back to March 6, 2020 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, his hundred was richly deserved.
