Jaguars hunt scorpions in must win game

It’s down to final two matches in zone ‘B’ for Guyana Jaguars! Tonight at the Kensington Oval they hunt down second placed Jamaica Scorpions in their most important match in the 2017 Regional Super50 tournament.

Jaguars scorpions


Today is a must win game for Jaguars, preferable with a bonus point, but this is easier said than done since they have not been as dominant as they would have liked.
Their batsmen have looked uncomfortable on tracks with extra bounce and apart from brief periods, have not been allowed to score quickly. Their 212-4 against the ICC Americas is their highest total, while Barbados made a 302 against them. Steven Jacobs is one of four bowlers with an economy rate of under 3 runs per over, but the bowlers have been inconsistent.

Jamaica face Barbados on Thursday before playing their final game against ICC Americas and the Jaguars, who oppose ICC Americas in their last game, will want to beat Jamaica tonight and that Barbados defeat them on Thursday.
Both Jamaica and Guyana are expected to beat ICC Americas. lol

Muddies depending on other teams to do their dirty work.

I would prefer that the Yardies win so the Leewards can face them in the semis. That would be a more scintillating matchup! Leewards vs Jamaica. Thomas returns to Antigua to play vs Leewards. Bonner vs Jamaica. Kieran vs Taylor and Leveridge. This would be a big Match.

Really! Now I understand his "hatred" for Yardies
BTW for once I totally agree with him that a JA vs LI semi-finals would be epic based on the current form of Powell, although with King's injury, JA is playing one batsman short but would be a great match!

Actually, I think this is a fair statement. Guyana, xept for Shiv, has done nothing to go through to the semi. I hope Jamaica win too.

Truth be told despite my rancour on the boards in defending Yardies, I love my SE Caribbean peeps, they treated me well, with love and respect, while I was doing part of my medical training in that region.

Steven Taylor gets a half century! Well done young man.

If JA wins it would set up two teasing semi-finals JA vs LI and B'dos vs T&T
Unbeaten B'dos vs Defending Champs T&T, nice setup!

Love Jamaicans? Sounding Trumpish.

Love trumps hate everyday. I love my people from the archipelago. They always treated me great when I'm there. Hope to be in Antigua for the ODIs.

I have a lot of Jamaican friends Bro. Very popular with local Jamaicans. Been to Jamaica once and blended in well and I have received numerous invitations for a return visit but my wife to be would not let me ride solo. smile

 
Slipfeeler 2017-02-08 10:32:03 

In reply to voiceofreason

Really don't blame her for not letting you ride solo, some Yardie girls are friendly and loving to visitors, so they might lock you down. But I read on the boards you had some prior Yardie exposure and ended up with a broken heart!
