Barbados Tridents

 
mikesiva 2014-09-16 04:41:34 

It seems like this team will be a shadow of the one that won the CPL....

Kieron Pollard - gone back to Mumbai Indians

Dwayne Smith - gone back to Chennai Super Kings

No Shoaib Malik - what's the story there?

Here's the squad

In come James Franklin, Elton Chigumbura and Dilshan Munaweera.

Kirk Edwards has been dropped...no surprise there.

Dilshan Munaweera
William Perkins (wk) / dowrich
Carter / mayers / McKenzie
Raymon Reifer
Franklin
Chigumbura
mendis
holder
nurse /hosein
Emrit
Rampaul

I see tridents as a surprise package. they are playing with nothing lose having lost their 3 main players. still the team looks OK with depth in batting and bowling. they should have gone for a qaulity opener to replace DRS tho.

 
mikesiva 2014-09-18 02:22:35 

In reply to Maispwi

Hopefully, he's left already....

I see why Shoaib Malik isn't a part of the Tridents team. He's playing for Hobart Hurricanes. Does that mean the Aussies are paying him more than we are?

The champions league is a farce. This is ridiculous and unfair to non-ipl teams.

George Bailey today captained King's Xl Punjab vs the Hobart hurricanes, the team he captained to win the big bash league to qualify for the clt20..

The whole thing faceted up

See that's why i like UEFA rules, if you play for a team for qualifying you can't play for another team against that same team you once played with.

See that's why i like UEFA rules, if you play for a team for qualifying you can't play for another team against that same team you once played with.

But isn't that what's at play here?

Pollard, Bailey etc first played for their IPL teams.

Teams that they subsequently played for must have known that if those IPL teams qualified for CT20 that those players would be obligated to represent their IPL teams.

Notice is fans who mekkin noise and not the non IPL teams themselves.

Perhaps they're amply compensated for their "loss". Or perhaps not.

In reply to imusic

Yeah the fans making nise
look at the link I posted above.
And you're absolutely right this is what's at play here.
Though UEFA will allow you to play within the CL itself you however can't face a team that you have played for in the same season.
I think that's also a reason why they have trading deadlines, however this can't work in cricket because we play different times of the year.

hotarobin 2014-09-18 20:08:02 

it kinda jokey fa real...without Smith, Polly and Malik the Tridents are sitting ducks waiting to pluck...the biggest thing against them is lack of experience at that level...but cricket is still the game of glorious uncertainty....

 
gvenkat 2014-09-18 21:33:27 

This tournament is just a fcuked up farce. No one really cares.. It's all about the money..

I also feel they will do extremely well,and it won't surprise me.Their replacements are very good,especially Chiginbura,the other 2 are also very capable 20/20 players.
I hope BDos Tridents win.

Only Trinidad has made the Caribbean proud at International stage... All the franchises are going to have problem at ClT20

Guyana - Simmons and Narine will miss

Jamaica - Gayle and Russel will miss out

Barbados - Pollard and Dwayne Smith are going to miss...

Trindad - Dwayne Bravo & Cooper are going to miss (Not to mention many who are already removed)

When matchwinners are pulled of any team they are going to struggle.

 
mikesiva 2014-09-26 03:16:44 

In reply to Pacy

To make matters worse for Barbados, Shoaib Malik is out too...that means the three players who scored all the runs for the Tridents were out.

The Trinidad Red Force was much stronger than any of the CPL franchises....

Another run out.
rolleyes
Munaweera gone....

Carter's half-century up from 40 balls.

In reply to Pacy

true that...plus one one of the "overseas" replacements is worth anything...to make matters worse Rampaul and to a slightlesser degree Holder bowled crap thus far....

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:40:41 

Tridents need to step on the gas at this point.

SIX!!!! Carter! 141-4.

Carter showing a great deal of class here - class everyone knows he has.

 
Pacy 2014-09-26 03:41:58 

In reply to hotarobin

Carter has been good and Tridents are going for a good score... Rampaul and Holder are the key.. Now they will have to perform

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:43:30 

Jeez! Rank cane cutter swiping by Jeevan Mendis. T20 brings out the farmer in us!

SIX!!!! Carter again! 150-4.

Mendis bowled for 10. Missed a rank swipe! Shakes is head in disbelief. "That was a perfect swipe. How did I miss that?"

Jason Holder in. 17.5 overs gone.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:48:21 

Holder gone for 0! Hits it straight to long on. 152-6. Carter on 95.

 
mikesiva 2014-09-26 03:50:24 

In reply to Norm

A bittersweet century for Carter, off 64 balls...well played. But in celebrating the hundred, he runs out Nurse.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:50:41 

Nurse quacks too! 157-7.

100 to Carter!!!!

 
voiceofreason 2014-09-26 03:52:56 

10 x4
5 x6

Carter 106* off 65

WOW!

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:53:30 

In reply to mikesiva

A bittersweet century for Carter

Well deserved 100, despite the run out.

Carter needs to put all that immense talent to good use, for Barbados and WI. He is one of the few around that could go very, very far if he gets his act together.

He is putting his tennis skills to good use in this innings!

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:54:24 

Hosein batting. Last over. Hits the first ball over the covers for 4!

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:56:04 

Darn. What a catch to get rid of Hosein! 170-8. Two balls to go. Emrit in.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 03:58:46 

174-8 off 20. Carter 111 not out! Gets a round of applause from his teammates.

 
voiceofreason 2014-09-26 03:59:01 

This is a small ground and a nice outfield. 175 from 20 may just be par. top knock by Carter 111* off 68.

 
Pacy 2014-09-26 04:03:08 

Carter played a really good innings after coming into the wicket during times of crisis. The 3 run outs actually put the game back. If that Munnaveera Runout had been avoided BT could well have got another 20 runs.

Still 175 is a good innings and now it is for the bowlers to take it forward

Norm 2014-09-26 04:23:34 

Holder opens the bowling. Amla dropped by Mendis at mid wicket. Catch not that difficult. Mendis moved rather slowly to the ball.

 
hotarobin 2014-09-26 04:24:06 

more crap by Holder....

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:24:10 

Hosean from the other end. Amla takes 2 fours off his first 2 balls.

16-0 off 2.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:26:45 

Holder again. Straying a bit down leg, but bowling good yorkers.

Outside off. SIX!!! Then, shorter and SIX more!!!

 
hotarobin 2014-09-26 04:27:38 

In reply to Norm

dang match lost in that one over....Holder has been pleasantly surprising me recently with both the bat and ball but now has reverted to unimpressive rubbish....

 
hotarobin 2014-09-26 04:28:37 

dis done...Tridents fell on their own trident and committed suicide...

 
Pacy 2014-09-26 04:29:16 

Pathetic bowling by 2 International bowlers.

If if if.

He played a good innings. Runouts are part and parcel of the game. This score is par.

0,6,6,4,4,6!!!! 26 off the over.

Darn. What happened to Holder there?

42-0 off 3 overs!!!

 
natty_forever 2014-09-26 04:31:15

mikesiva 2014-09-26 04:32:12

Because I don't rate him...as Bishop says, he needs to gain an extra yard or two of pace.

But there are some folks, there and here, who think he's the new messiah.

Levy goes! Well bowled Hosein.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:32:53 

In reply to natty_forever

decided to go full ... bad idea.

He was full almost every delivery, and one was a highish full toss.

Couldn't he try something different?

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:34:27 

Ramps taking blows too!

 
natty_forever 2014-09-26 04:35:31

4! Amla with the tennis swat!

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:38:23 

In reply to natty_forever

he'll come back stronger ...

This is T20. So getting struck for 26 in an over is not that unusual. He (Holder) could easily come back and bowl 2 great overs at the death!

 
voiceofreason 2014-09-26 04:39:50

Really. Let me make a note of this.

Emrit with the ball.

Was that your useful and positive contribution here, or are you gathering poison? Man, you have really fallen away.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:43:35 

Nurse to bowl. Keeps it tight. Gets away with a long hop off the last ball. Only 4 off his first over.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:48:14 

Emrit again. Hslf volley to Amla, who strokes it beautifully for 4!!!! Beats 2 men on the way.

Emrit taking blows too! Cobras playing like the team that wants to win here.

85-1 off 9 overs.

 
Logic 2014-09-26 04:50:40 

Hard to understand how in this attack Mayers cant get a play and Reifer cant get a bowl. Mayers could open bowling to good effect and is no worse a batting option than Franklin.

 
voiceofreason 2014-09-26 04:50:54 

In reply to Norm Whichever way you chose to spin it. I am enjoying the honesty.

All of a sudden you are Mr. West Indies. A deviation from the norm...Pun intended.

Amla playing a masterclass here. Shade of things to come.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:53:01 

Nurse bowling with spirit, but sending down too many long hops. He has been getting away with them tho.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 04:53:57 

Mendis to bowl.

 
hotarobin 2014-09-26 04:54:27

Stumped!!! Ramela missed a well flighted one. 99-2 off 11.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:00:37 

Hosean back. Getting good turn. Beats Amla, but it's pitched outside leg. 103-2 off 12.

Spinners have brought the Tridents back into the picture a bit.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:06:09 

Amla gets his 50, off 35 balls. 114-2 off 13.

Shopkeeper Dowrich
. All that beat dung you have been suffering over the forever false starting revo has damaged you psychologically.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:08:14 

Amla caught behind square off Hosean!!! Off a no ball!!!

Free hit. Single only. Whew!

125-2 off 14.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:12:04 

Mendis again. Flighting his leg breaks nicely. Drops a return catch off Amla!!!

Then beats him as he charges down the track. Stumped by Dowrich!!!!

126-3 off 14.4.

Robin Peterson in.

Tridents still in this.

127-3 off 15.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:17:32 

Nurse with the ball. Short on the pads and swept for 4!

Bowling around the wicket, into the right-hander's pads.

134-3 off 16. Good over, that.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:21:20 

Mendis again. On target. Umps does not give him an lbw he should have gotten.

SIX!!!! To add insult to injury.

Mendis runs in. Batsman (Peterson) switches from lefty to righty and Mendis hangs on to the ball! Does it again! Umps step in. Crowd gets noisy!

Bowls, batsman switches, lobs it high and is caught!!!

Engelbrecht in.143-4 off 16.4.

Another one caught off Mendis!!!!

143-5 off 17.

Tridents are fighting back!!!

Tridents have come alive on the field again. Engelbrecht drives it back hard but Nurse is not quick enough to take the catch. Goes for 4!

SIX!!!! 157-5 off 18. 18 needed from 2 overs. Not looking good for the Tridents.

DAVE400 2014-09-26 05:43:30 

gutsy move from the skipper to bowl himself and decent enough result..

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:45:01 

Dowrich might take a lot of heat here.

Dowrich not dealing with pressure well

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:46:37 

Umps walk out. Cobras to bat. Vilas and ?

Tridents take the field.

 
Headley 2014-09-26 05:47:07 

Question is:

Who will bowl the super over for the Tridents? Rampaul? rolleyes

 
Logic 2014-09-26 05:48:40 

Conventional wisdom would be for Carter to be one of the bats, but I would not do it. He is too slow a starter and relies way too much on timing.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:48:42 

Ramps to bowl. Big-hitting Levi to take strike.

 
Cardiac 2014-09-26 05:48:46

Holder!

 
Ridge 2014-09-26 05:50:10 

Rampaul?

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:50:46 

0.1. Yorker just outside leg. Inside edge for 1.
0.2 4!!!!

Rampaul is like the Canadian weather. One day hot another one cold.
Hope he blows hot here now. lol

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:52:53 

0.2 Half volley on leg. Hit to long on for 4.
0.3 Better ball. Yorker on leg. 2.
0.4 Same thing. 2 more.
0.5 Single.
0.6 Down leg. Single!

 
Ridge 2014-09-26 05:54:06 

12 to win

In reply to Norm

good over

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:55:18 

Go Tridents! Great over by Ramps! A series of yorkers just outside leg.

Cobras couldn't take advantage of the balls down leg. All they had to do was let them through.

 
Ridge 2014-09-26 05:56:19 

Second chance to bring it home Tridents

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:57:17 

Umps back out.

Tridents need only 11, having scored more boundaries in the regular overs.

 
Norm 2014-09-26 05:58:53 

Carter and Munaweera.

 
navindesigns 2014-09-26 05:59:24 

that SL opener

Norm 2014-09-26 06:07:03 

Full toss on leg. Edged past leg slip. Two only. Tridents have lost.

Carter emotional. Down on the pitch, face down. Cobras shake hands and walk off.

Tough, but the Tridents have represented themselves decently. Nervousness?

They missed critical chances, but were quite competitive.

Rank full toss - should have nailed dat.

He should have, and he (Carter) knew it.

Tridents lost by fumbling their chances.

Barbados Tridents Team
EMDY Munaweera, ND McKenzie, RA Reifer, JL Carter†, JEC Franklin, JO Holder, AJ Hosein, AR Nurse, KR Mayers, RR Emrit*, R Rampaul

 
Norm 2014-09-28 02:50:18 

Is that Leon Johnson with the Tridents?

 
mikesiva 2014-09-28 02:54:02 

McKenzie, Reifer and Munaweera all out...this looks ominous.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 02:54:24 

Reifer was not looking as if he was in control against Hilfenhaus and Bollinger.

26-2.

Munaweera gone now!

26-3.

James Franklin in, to face the hat-trick ball. Short and defended successfully.

Tridents in big trouble, as Carter comes to the middle.

28-3 after 6, with Franklin playing much more off the edges than the middle.

Franklin starting to middle the ball now. Takes 2 fours off the 8th over.

41-3 off 8.

Malik bowls the 9th over. Almost bowls Carter, who barely got an inside edge, past stumps and keeper for 4.

48-3 off 9.

Xavier Dougherty on, bowling off spin, to Franklin.

Bowls him first ball! 48-4.

Jason Holder in.

50-4 off 10. Holder 2(5 balls), Carter 9(13).

Bollinger back.

52-4 off 11. Tridents digging themselves into a hole here?

Dougherty continues.

60-4 off 12.

Malik again.

SIX!!!! Carter! Goes to 24, score to 68-4.

70-4 off 13.

Doherty again. Holder lofts him to long off and is caught for 5, off 10 balls.

70-5.

Akiel Hosein in.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 03:31:17 

Doherty short on the pads to Hosein, who swings him nicely behind square for 4!

SIX!!! Carter off Doherty.

82-5 off 14.

Laughlin on.

SIX!!!! Hosein, after 4 dots.

89-5 off 15.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 03:35:39 

Bollinger back.

Hosein swings him high to long on and is caught.

89-6 off 15.1.

Nurse in. The Tridents really need a nurse here!

Bollinger to Carter - 4!!! Straight back, a bit airily.

Turns him past square leg for 4 more!

99-6 off 16. Carter on 42.

Doherty back, to Nurse.

Lbw first ball!

99-7 off 16.1.

Mayers in.

Carter caught at fine leg for 42!

101-8 off 16.3.

Emrit in.

104-8 off 17.

 
Logic 2014-09-28 03:46:52 

Poor stuff Emrit.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 03:47:47 

Laughlin continues.

2 dots to Emrit who strokes the 3rd to deep cover and sets off quickly for a decent single. Mayers stays put and Emrit is easily run out.

104-9.

105-9 off 18.

109-9 off 19. Hilfenhaus rapped Ramps in the ribs with a short one. The heavily padded Ramps seems unperturbed by it!

Ramps run out!!!! All gone for 113. Mayers hit it into the deep on the off side and they were scampering for 2.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 03:57:07 

Should be over quickly, but it would be interesting to see if Mayers gets it to swing, as he often does.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:11:27 

Umps are back on, players are back on and Mayers has the ball. Carter is keeping wicket.

0.4 Gone!!!!! Caught brilliantly at silly mid off by McKenzie!!

Mayers befuddling the batsman with swing. Not big, but swinging.

Concedes 2 fours off the 2 last balls of the over.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:17:18 

Ramps to bowl.

Dropped at 2nd slip by McKenzie!!! Had to dive far to his left.

12-1 off 2, as Nurse to bowl.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:26:24 

Ramps continues, and Reifer puts down a fairly straightforward catch at square leg.

No-ball called! Seems an incorrect call.

Free hit. Short, top-edged, falls in front of batsman. No run.

19-1 off 4.

Nurse again.

26-1 off 5. Nurse keeping it tight.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:37:00 

Ramps continues.

32-1 off 6.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:42:03 

Numaweera on, bowling off-spin with a high action.

Caught!!!! In the gully area.

32-2 off 6.

Dropped by keeper Carter down the leg side, and run out missed too! Rather difficult chance, that.

37-2 off 7.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:47:54 

Hosein on.

Emrit misfields now!

44-2 off 8.

Munaweera again.

50-2 off 9.

Hosein again.

Gone!!!! Lbw. Batsman seemed unlucky there, as that seemed to be just going down leg.

Replay shows the call was actually quite good.

54-3 off 9.3

 
Logic 2014-09-28 04:56:15 

Nice one Hosein. Soon as u stopped bowling dem darts u looked dangerous.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 04:59:28 

Holder fields a bit sloppily at long on and lets through a 4.

58-3 off 10.

Nurse back.

66-3 off 11.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:04:08 

Emrit to bowl.

70-3 off 12.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:10:12 

Hosein continue. Bowls him!!!

Kept the batsman quiet, which led o a rash sweep to a ball on middle stump. Took the pad and lobbed onto the stumps.

71-4 off 12.3

73-4 off 13.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:13:36 

Emrit continues.

80-4 off 14.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:21:47 

Jason Holder finally gets the ball. Tridents have give up, or does Emrit feel there is nothing to lose now?

Bowling it short and fast. Batsmen pull and pepper the boundary, but the fielding holds up.

94-4 off 16.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:27:13 

Ramps back. Malik skies it high and Nurse drops a fairly straightforward one on the boundary.

SIX!!!!

104-4 off 17. 10 needed.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:31:27 

Holder again.

109-4 off 18.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:36:19 

Emrit back.

1st ball - 4!!! 1 to win.

2nd ball - 4 more!!!!

Tridents have lost.

 
mikesiva 2014-09-28 05:39:21 

Holder was the seventh bowler used...clearly, Emrit had no faith in him.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:51:17 

In reply to mikesiva

The Tridents seem to have gone into this match with little or no confidence in themselves.

It would seem that there was a lot of criticism inside the team after the last match, with a couple of players "penalized".

It was good to see Mayers, but you have to wonder why he got a single over only. There seems to have been no particular bowling strategy.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 05:53:09 

I don't think those players who abandoned the Tridents for other teams in this competition did the team any good when they really needed it.

 
imusic 2014-09-28 08:17:52 

In reply to Norm

I don't think those players who abandoned the Tridents for other teams in this competition did the team any good when they really needed it

FACT - when tridents really needed it (During the CPL) those players were front and centre. So much so the tridents won the CPL competition in large part because of those players.

FACT - ANY club team that has players on that team that also play in IPL know that the IPL teams take precedence in the case of head to head
Competition. The only example where that was not the case was when sangkakarra chose to play for his Sri Lankan club team rather than his IPL team. He never played IPL again after that.

BOTTOM LINE - players aren't going to opt to represent another team over their IPL team unless it's in their best (financial) interests to do so. The CPL teams know that. Big Bash teams know that. The IPL teams
Know that.

Corey Amderson opted to play for Mumbai Indians rather than
Play for Northern lLights (the punk team from NZ). Anderson didn't get a game for Mumbai. But if he had to do it over again, he would do the same.

Good, and hopefully the CPL teams remember that next season.

At this point, the CPL seems to have lost sight of one of its primary objectives - the development of T20 cricket in the Caribbean (an opinion first presented by BatQuake, albeit very poorly.)

In reply to Norm

You're naive if you think they didn't already know that.

They made a business decision. They're in the results business, therefore they will give themselves what they think is the best chance to win.

Perhaps they should have not selected Pollard, Matrix, and Shoaib Malik and instead selected players who they knew would have no conflict should they win the CPL

Trouble is, there chances of winning CPL to even make the CT20 in the first place decrease significantly without those players.

If you''re in the results business, what would you do?

 
imusic 2014-09-28 11:04:55 

In reply to Norm

That's a curious objective.

Given that there's currently no avenue for players not selected to a CPL team to showcase their T20 skills.

And how exactly does the CPL develop T20 cricket in the Caribbean? What specifically does it do to further that objective?

They sure will and probably will try to get more local IPL players.
How much they made.....150K per player.
300K on Smith and Polly.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 11:48:49 

In reply to imusic

If you're in the results business, what would you do?

Depends on what are the "results". That could be (1) - maximum profits for one or more parties, (2) - becoming the best T20 team in the world by winning the T20 World Cup, (3) - winning the Champions League, (4) - providing a source of income for regional players, etc.

Of the above, only (1) is not necessarily a variation of "developing regional cricket".

You,of course, did not provide your own opinion for others to "chew" on, but I am sure your "results" does not include "exploiting regional players for non-WICB profit".

Assuming then, that "results" refer to a variation of "developing regional cricket", I would pursue (2) above - but that's just my view.

 
Norm 2014-09-28 11:51:44 

In reply to Andy99

How much they made

"They" refers to the WICB, regional board or franchise owner?

Or, is there some kind of sharing?

 
Andy99 2014-09-28 12:05:03 

In reply to Norm

From what as said on this board when I asked, it goes to the franchise owners.

 
imusic 2014-09-28 16:46:26 

In reply to Norm

If. You honestly feel that the #1 goal, or even in the top 3, of CPL owners is to see the WI team as #1 in the world in T20 cricket, you more naive than I thought.

When I say that, I mean no disrespect.

 
imusic 2014-09-28 16:55:11 

In reply to Andy99

If it goes to the franchise owners, which is more lucrative?

Winning the CT20?

Or Win CPL and give up your best players to the IPL for that tourn-meant knowing you will be compensated for doing so?

To win CT20 with the best players means you'll have to pay more than what IPL pays them

First you have to win CPL. To win CPL you have to select the best available
Players. Some of those players will already be contracted to IPL teams. Of you don't select them, somebody else will.

You can employ these players at lesser wages, and when they go to CT20 with their IPL teams, you receive a kickback for doing so AND still have a theoretical chance at winning the CT20.

Bottom line, if you want to employ AND KEEP the best players, you pay them accordingly. If you can't compete on the wage front, you do the next best thing.
