England discerning bowler Liam Plunkett is happy adequate with his position as a one-day general “bad guy” notwithstanding suggestions he could be an outward collect for a Ashes patrol set to debate Australia.
The Yorkshire discerning took his lass five-wicket ODI transport as England finished a 124-run win over West Indies here on Sunday to go 2-0 adult in a five-match series.
Amid all a blazing hitting, that saw England hundred favourite Moeen Ali strike 8 sixes in his 102 and West Indies opener Chris Gayle 6 in his hastily 94, Plunkett still find a approach to take 5 for 52.
One-day general cricket might be set adult to put a importance on big-hitting enjoyed by so many spectators during limited-overs matches, yet Plunkett has no qualms about being expel as a fans ‘pantomime villain’ if he succeeds in interlude a snowstorm of boundaries.
“I adore to be a bad man for a throng — it means I’m not removing strike out of a park,” pronounced Plunkett.

“We can demeanour during footage, since [it] gives we reminders before we go out,” he explained. “But they are only small reminders… since if we don’t play well, it’s still your fault. There’s nobody else to censure yet yourself.”
Plunkett, however, enjoys being in a banishment line. “I do penchant it,” he said.
“Obviously [Gayle] is a good actor — and if we miss, he’ll strike it miles. (But) we feel as though, if we can get an early wicket, we can get on tip of them. We do behind ourselves; we’re a good team. “They [West Indies] are a group that likes bounds and play dot balls. We feel we are a improved group since we strike bounds and run a ones and twos, and we’ve got one adult on them as a outcome of that.”
