England were comprehensively defeated by Chris Gayle's team inside 13 overs of the chase after posting only 99 at Coolidge.

"It was a disappointment really on how the team have handled the week," said Pietersen. "We concentrated too much on other things in terms of outside stuff and distractions. We've probably not done it the right way, we have not solely concentrated on the cricket."

He added: "I said it was diving into the unknown, those deep waters of uncertainty. We certainly jumped in, got involved in the week, but as a team I don't think we did it the right way.

"There has been a lot of talk and when we do this next year it is a case of buying into it and giving it a heck of a good go and concentrate like we did in the one-day series against South Africa. We have not just been thinking about cricket and the game.

"Nobody in the world has played for US dollars 20million in three hours before. Now we know how to deal with it in future years."

Gayle finished unbeaten on 65 as he guided his team-mates to a life-changing cash bounty.

It was an innings that ensured the mind games of his good friend Pietersen pre-match came back to haunt him.

"Words can't explain it," said Gayle. "Trust me, I am just glad it is over, the feeling is tremendous. We are very grateful for what happened.

"The guys really turned up to the party, we hit the England guys from ball one and you couldn't ask for a better performance than this."
