Leewards won the toss and asked TnT to bat.

In reply to voiceofreason

Imran out lbw to louis for a duck.

In reply to mikesiva

#LIHvTRF: CHANCE: Rajah 22* edges a good ball from Louis to 2nd slip & it's grassed by Hodge. That was a dolly. Should have been taken.

How much your Test Batsman Ambris mek?

In reply to buds
He did not get it done. There is always the second innings. 29 out of 77 I will not accept.

Not like you Yardies who jump and wave every time your batsmen score a half century.

Does not change the fact that he should have at least been in the Pres XI.

T&T 71/1

Jangoo 32* Rajah 36*

T&T 112/2

Nicholson 28* Jangoo 36*

OUT: Rajah 40 Khan 0

Day 2

LUNCH: Red Force 417/6 (75 ovs)

Cariah 109*,

Webster 103* in a 149 run partnership.

In 150 minutes 148 runs were scored.

TT newbies 417 for 6.
Talk nah!

In reply to granite

Playing against the Leewards newbies. Even steven.

Leewards bowling is really weak so I am not sure who came up with the bright idea to bowl first on a notoriously flat Warner Park pitch.

T&T 519/7

Cariah 168* Charles 12*

VOR the wicket is traditionally flat ? Let's see how this goes

In reply to Cornfused

Traditionally flat of course. Windwards just compiled 500 plus vs a better Leewards attack on the same track two weeks ago. Ambris scored a double ton. It was a dumb decision to bowl first and now an already weakened team now has to bat after chasing leather for the worse part of a day and half. They will struggle to post a good score against a goodish Trini attack.

Mab]In reply to voiceofreason[/b]

Cariah made a double on you.?

In reply to voiceofreason

I won't mek ah fuss widdat, but our newbies more experienced than yours, they been playing since season start.

In reply to granite

Doh let VOR tie u up, they really only got 1 newbie thats Otto.

We have Nicholson, Jangoo, Webster and Cooper all just starting out.
Rajah and Charles also very new but they were in before they introduced this new batch without experience in the last match.

In reply to Narper

Jangoo and Rajah, sounds like good candidate for a part in ah Bollywood film.

In reply to Andy99

Yuh know, I just looked at their team and thought it looked an experienced lot, I have seen those names quite a lot of times.He nearly got me there.

In reply to granite

Leewards made six changes. Clarke the wicketkeeper is a 19 yr old on debut. Sherwyn Peters is playing his first game this season. Hughes and Taylor are returning after being dropped in the first round. Campbell, Carty, Otto and Saunders have played less than 20 fc matches combined between them.

In reply to voiceofreason

This fucker talking about players on the bench, Clarke isn't in the playing XI.

This is Carty's 9th match, he played 3 matches last season and this is his 6 this season. So he has been around the team! Had a ton in the last match I think.

As I said Otto is new. His 4th match here.

This is Saunders 12th match, he dating back to quite 2013, this his is 4th of the season.

Campbell is a hard back 31 year old who is playing his 5th FC match, his debut dating back to 2012.

Taylor is playing his 21st match, this is his third of the season.

Peters is indeed playing his first match of the season but his 17th overall. Debut in 2011.

9 + 4 + 12 + 5 = 30
Even if u minus this match that 26.

As far as ages go

Carty - 20
Otto - 25
Saunders - 22
Campbell - 31
Taylor - 28
Peters 26

TNT.

Primus - 21, FC debut this season, 7 match this season.

Jangoo - 19, FC debut in the last round, this is his 2nd match.

Rajah - 23, FC debut this season, this is his 8th match.

Cooper - 26, FC debut in the last round, this is his 2nd match.

Charles - 21, FC debut in 2015, this is his 6th match.

Webster - Age unknown but Im sure he's under 23 because he was playing school boy cricket 5 years ago, FC debut in the last round, this is his 2nd match.

Nicolson - 23, FC debut in the last round, this is hist 2nd match.

In reply to Andy99

First match of the season apart from that he plays schoolboy cricket in St. Maarten.


He is 20 years old and 9 matches spread over 2 years. He was dropped until he was brought back two games ago where he got that ton.



Saunders returning from a drop as well thi season.



Seriously you cannot be this dunce. FC experience? I don't care if he is 50.

Again I cannot blame the players as they are being recycled because of the failure of our home board to organize a proper tournament in over 3 years. That tournament can be used to identify new talent but instead we keep reycling the same mediocre players.

#LIHvTRF: WICKET: Leewards 137/1 (44.6 ovs) Hughes 71 goes back to one that keeps low and is a goner. Carty comes out to join Hodge 52*.

#LIHvTRF: WICKET: Hodge 64 gets one that bounces & turns. Snapped up by Webster at short-leg. Leewards 175/2 (60 ovs) Bonner joins Carty 25.

Khan 11/140 on a flat wicket

In reply to Cornfused

I am not an Imran Khan fan.....in that I don't believe he is an international class bowler.

That said..I believe he's been very consistent in FC cricket so well done to him.

In reply to mikesiva... 137 for 1 and all out for 237.

No one seems to have mentioned Y.Cariah,he hasn't done badly at all,and almost a double century with some wickets here and there,he seems to be doing what was always expected of him.I really don't know what has happened to the Ottley brothers,but they seems to have gone backwards,I hope they are resilient enough to be back next season.Credit to TTs new boys.

In reply to granite

See what I does be talking about bro?

Quite a few have talked about him in the last few days.



And this is it, u see him take 1 wicket yesterday and all of a sudden its some here and there. FACT he has only taken 1 wicket this season. In the 1 matches, he has only bowled 4 overs.

In reply to Andy99

I like what I saw in this young team, keep them together for next year

Another year worth of experience and T&T cricket sits well.

In reply to sgtdjones

But this happens every season, u can check since around 2013 or so.
We are horrible all season long then in the last 2-3 matches we win and finish a 'respectable' 3rd or 4th place and all is forgiven so thing continue as they are.

Wouldn't rate the runs scored in this match that highly, just check the opening and 3rd wicket p'ships of Leewards, they just collapsed after.

In reply to Andy99
Here and there,no big deal but a mistake all the same.

Noted Andy , but they should keep this team , possibly send them somewhere for practice matches . From dead last to mid table.

Flat wicket talk from page one spot up for sale .

In reply to Andy99

Andy

If my memory serves me correctly

This is the first time we have had such a young team playing 4 days.

It's an improvement from past years using players that don't want to play for Bassarat.

Change is in the air, Court case around May 15th 2017.

A new administration will be in power.

Watch the different with our players then.They know Dinas will back them.

In reply to Cornfused

There is a decent batting core. Cariah, Rajah and Jangoo.
Richards has regressed with the ball, we need to get in some young pacers.
Pierre should be a fair chance.

In reply to sgtdjones

Yeah thats probably true wrt the young team.

We can hope we get the change
