For this sort of scenario. To be able to give Jos (Buttler) different options. I guess the most pleasing thing for me now is I feel like I can bowl in a number of different situations and scenarios.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/07\/17\/78703329-12838619-image-a-23_1701971105183.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liam Livingstone insisted his three-wicket haul was perhaps his biggest impact in a game<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/07\/17\/78703335-12838619-image-a-24_1701971112382.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England beat West Indies by six wickets to set up a deciding match in Barbados on Saturday<\/p>\n<p>However, a player who once courted selection for the damage he could do with the bat towards the top of the order is now languishing at number seven, between captain Buttler and England\u2019s new vice-captain in 50-over cricket, Sam Curran.<\/p>\n<p>Like Buttler, Livingstone arrived in the Caribbean devoid of form and although he launched a couple of sixes in the opening match, another sub-20 dismissal took his overall tally of runs to 116 in nine innings.<\/p>\n<p>But ahead of the floodlit finale at the Kensington Oval, he said: \u2018I guess the way I play my cricket, I always try to do what&#8217;s best for the team, try to contribute to England winning games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I haven&#8217;t been able to do that for a couple of months with the bat, and hopefully that&#8217;s going to change at some point.
