After the game ended, Livingstone credited his heroics to going up the batting order, giving him more responsibility and time to unleash a carnage on bowlers\u2019. \u201cMoving up the order has been nice, it\u2019s given me a bit more responsibility, more time to bat. I enjoy the responsibility. It's not easy coming in at six or seven, it's hard to get into a rhythm so moving up the order has been nice. I feel like I'm in decent nick with bat and ball,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Post the series opener at Southampton, Livingstone had talked about his struggles with form and fitness in the last few years. But his breath-taking carnage at Cardiff, laced with five sixes and six boundaries signalled the start of the all-rounder finding his groove in the shortest format for England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I feel like I'm getting my body back to normal. The last couple of years have taught me a lot of life lessons. I'm enjoying my cricket, it's nice to play with a smile on my face, and that\u2019s the main thing. I\u2019ve had a tough couple of years, so it\u2019s nice to be out here with a smile on my face,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He was also well-supported by young Jacob Bethell via an entertaining 44 off 24 balls that featured three sixes and four fours. Bethell was signed by the Melbourne Renegades in this month\u2019s Big Bash League Overseas Draft, and Livingstone said he was thrilled for him. \"Bethell is an incredible talent. He's got a great head on young shoulders. He's such an exciting talent. He's a fearless kid and to play like that is pretty special.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Similar words were echoed by England skipper Phil Salt. \"Bethell is a real talent, the way he took down Zampa, there's not many that can do that, really pleased for him. He put on an incredible performance and what Livy (Livingstone) did was second to none. We all know he's capable of that, the way he paced the innings and took their best bowler down.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
