So far GAW seems to be on the right track in developing the various aspects of their game:
1. They keep rotating their finishing bowlers, today was Kemo, prior game was Moti, prior it was Shep, etc
2. They rotate batting first vs second. It will be essential to develop batting first at Providence so bowlers can defend with a wet ball given the dew factor.
3. Playing the young players....first Junior then now Nandu. Next I would like to see Kevin have a game or two.

In reply to StumpCam
Keemo was asking Johnson if he could bat higher in the XI... Maybe they should consider pushing him up de order.
Hety not interested in batting higher than 5 these days... can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do. Ideally he should be batting ahead of Azam but that won't happen.

that needs to be changed. Hetty and Khan need time out in the middle to get in form as both are out of form. Put Hetty or Khan to open. Let Ayub rest one game.

i will hear from you on saturday lol......if TKR lose that game I will eat the humble pie and say it is likely GAW will win their first title. Although, i must tell you, CSK had a very old side in 2021 and went on to win the ipl eh. If we get ayub early, we can win because GAW's lineup has not been tested when he does not make a score. And allyuh know allyuh cannot rely on professor blue hair to sit down and bat out an innings. Nandu looked very good however. was very still at the crease. Would be great if he could play FC cricket consistently.

In reply to SnoopDog
from a technical standpoint yes. pooran's head is on his shoulders, which is not really the best thing when the ball is moving away from you. Ayub actually reminds me a lot of imran nazir, who scored a a whole lot of runs here in the 2000 visit of pakistan and zim. he moves his feet a lot more though. imran had lead feet. Maybe TKR shoud try bowling at the body next game and see how he responds to that, because bowling anywhere near his feet and they are going to travel. but pooran is a once in a generation player, he can defy technical chinks because his hand eye coordination and timing are so good
2023-09-14 17:48:47
Ayub is playing really well but on the other hand, he has not had to face really top fast bowling in this competition. No one is bowling back of a length to him and pegging him on the back foot.
GAW, if they now have a confirmed opener in Nandu, may just possibly have a one weakness in that they may be too comfortable chasing because of their batting line up. I would say that the only real chance against them is if they were to have to bat first as the bowling in this year's CPL has been generally rubbish

2023-09-15 00:56:51
Gaw needs to move Azam Khan to open with Ayub. That pair will score faster or out. This makes room for Kevin Sinclair.
Bish is correct, Gaw got too much power hitters spending time on the bench. Gaw batsmen should be firing on all cylinders from ball 1.

You sure about that? Watch them play the same XI again on Saturday

2023-09-15 02:36:45
In reply to doosra
Yes, I was just about to edit my last post to say Smith gets drop if they decide to bring back Hemraj to open or stick with Nandu. I don't think Nandu is ready for T20 right now, so I won't play him.
Kevin Sinclair must play.
2023-09-15 02:38:54
In reply to Arlo
Nandu is not ready and is just there to get the 5 games in for emerging players...and because this is his last chance I suppose after 2 years they wanted to give him a chance...
it has to be Kevin Sinclair from here on...i'm taking his experience from here on
2023-09-15 02:39:20

Win the toss and field? I say yes to that.
Changes in the team?
a. Bring in Junior Sinclair in place of Nandu.
b. Move Azam to open with Ayub
c. Move Hetty to number 3, Hope at 4.
d. If Odean plays, get him in earlier to have some batting practice.
For tonight's game, winning is not the ultimate goal but building the team for the payoff is the goal. Winning will be bonus, if that happens.

Clive Lloyd was very upset he was left out of the WI touring party that went to England in 1966 after he had scored 107 vs Barbados at the Mecca and then 194 at Sabina Park. He became even more upset when he found out that the Bajan selector had told the Guyanese selector that he would only vote for Lloyd if the GT bannah voted for Bynoe.The Guyanese selector refused and neither went to England in 1966.
When Lloyd was selected to tour India in late 1966 Worrell who was in India pulled Lloyd aside and told him that he was not selected because they did not want him to go to England and find the conditions so different from the Caribbean causing him to struggle as it would dent his confidence. Worrell also told him to put that situation behind him and focus on doing well in India.
Today we do not have those kind of common sense leaders who can empathize with players and show them some compassion, grace and understanding. Kevin Sinclair after a stand out year must have been terribly disappointed to not get a single game in this year's CPL. Management should have been talking to him and encouraging him to be patient as now that the 5 games that needed to be played by the Developmental Players is out of the way Kevin would be selected for the last two games and be in contention for the Finals if GAW make it to that game.
Alas when our Leaders lack vision, the people will perish.

what is the update with Keemo
Still disappointed Kevin not there
i mean this was his weekend to shine
2023-09-17 03:08:42
This follows on the heels of Sheppy being a vice-captain in name only. My eyes might not be the best but I can't recall seeing him in any onfield consultations in the 9 games GAW has played so far. Can't quite blame Tahir. He is an installed captain!
Bobby has lost control of his franchise at the moment. You're two games away from possibly winning a championship and recriminations flying thick and fast? 
2023-09-17 12:01:48
In reply to doosra
Not sure how serious Keemo injury is but they shouldn't risk him tonight.
Pestano was one of the standout players for Everest in the GCA t20 that finished last week... Not a bad replacement.
For tonight match Beaton comes in for Keemo and Junior needs to bowl a few overs upfront. They could consider giving Anderson a knock too.
2023-09-17 12:26:04
In reply to anthonyp
I saw Pestano hit the ball out of everest the other day...they had a youtube link
Keemo should not play till the final if they get there if not fully fit
I think they are too predictable with the all pace in power play phase...mix that up a bit...get Jr. to bowl...this was Kevin's own niche

2023-09-21 11:26:15

Warriors management still can't get it right... The XI is short of a bowler and Odean Smith is not a cricketer.
Ah few things y'all need to do...
- hope that y'all win the toss
- pull in Clinton Pestano as a replacement for Kevin Sinclair
- open with Ayub & Hope or Azam... Let the brainless one bat higher.
This should be y'all XI for Friday
1. Ayub
2. Azam (let him make use of the powerplay)
3. Hope
4. Hety
5. Junior Sinclair (his off spin is needed)
6. Shepherd
7. Pretorius

Play Junior Sinclair, which allows them to play an extra overseas. Jr. is also one of their better fielders and offers an off spin option which they don’t have. Don’t know why they haven’t played Zazai consistently when he is Gurbaz’s replacement. XI should look like this.
S. Ayub
H. Zazai
S. Hope
A. Khan
S. Hetmyer
K. Paul - If fit
D. Pretorious
