West Indies captain Darren Sammy said they had been “dominated by the No.1 team in the world in all formats of the game” as their tour of England ended without an international win.

Sunday’s seven-wicket Twenty20 defeat at Trent Bridge followed 2-0 losses in the three-match Test and one-day international series (rain led to a draw in the third Test and washed out the final ODI).

What made the limited-overs defeats all the more galling for the tourists was that the West Indies had believed their best chance of success lay in the shorter formats.

However, they lost the two ODIS where play was possible by margins of 114 runs and eight wickets.

Sunday saw them recover from being 3-57 at the halfway stage to make 4-172.

But World Twenty20 champions England, with Alex Hales making 99 on his Nottinghamshire home ground and sharing a stand of 159 with Ravi Bopara (59), responded with 3-173.

While opener Dwayne Smith and Dwayne Bravo had shown plenty of fight and no little style while making fifties, the West Indies’ attack lacked penetration.

Even worse was their sloppy fielding, with England winning Sunday’s match on a misfield.

“I think looking at the squad we have for the one-day and T20 series, on paper we had a really strong team, but you need to go out and string together consistently good performances out there in the middle and that’s what England have done throughout the series and we haven’t,” said Sammy.

“We have got to be consistently good in all three departments, batting, bowling and fielding.

“We are doing some good stuff but we are not doing it consistently for long enough. We have to string together performances that will get the team to win.”

One of the biggest disappointments of the tour was Sunil Narine, who arriving late after a successful spell in the Indian Premier League and a meteoric start to his first-class career in the West Indies, was hailed as a “mystery” spinner capable of confounding England’s batsmen.

Yet those watching him for the first time in England would have been forgiven for thinking what all the fuss was about.
