England struggling in Twenty20 format, says Flower

Andy Flower has admitted that England are struggling to find a way to win Twenty20 cricket matches.The stand-in coach made the comments following a thorough defeat to the West Indies in the format, with the tourists being bowled out for just 121 runs and eventually losing by six wickets.England will host the Twenty20 World Cup later this year, but with less than three months to go until the opening match against the Netherlands, Flower admitted the odds are not in their favour."We're a long way from having a successful formula and the results have borne that out," said the former Zimbabwe batsman.Meanwhile, the tourists are preparing for a one-day international series in the Caribbean, which begins on Friday.Having already suffered a defeat in the Test series, England are given odds of 5/6 by Skybet, with the bookmaker offering the same price for the hosts.
