Willey was unfortunate to finish on the losing side in the final

For someone who is used to opening the batting and bowling for his previous county in England, it was certainly surprising to see David Willey bat so low for England. Still, with the ball in his hand, he was England's best bowler on surfaces that weren't exactly conducive to swing bowling.

Whether it was on turning tracks or flat ones, Willey managed to swing the ball and create trouble for the batsmen, who were largely more worries about the spinners. Not only did he pick up crucial wickets at the start for England, he also came back to bowl some at the end and wasn't too shabby there either.

In the final, where England had a below-par score, it was Willey's figures with the ball that kept them in the game until the end before Carlos Brathwaite smashed four successive sixes to help the Windies claim the title.
