Am glad that depressing Test match is over!!

In reply to Narper

VIX has his fingers poised on his keyboard for the 'real cricket' to start.

In reply to Priapus


O man....we need this real cricket badly

In reply to Priapus

Test cricket exists these days just to remind us how boring the game could become if left to the 'traditionalists'.

'Daren Sammy Stadium' - the uninformed in the future will imagine what a great player he was!

Three changes to the Warriors team. Nic Maddinson, Hetmyer and Orlando Peters get a game. Barnwell, Ali Khan and Guptill out.

Guptill returns to the NZ team, which is currently touring Zimbabwe. Can't quite understand why Ali Khan was left out. Barnwell - we know why he was left out.

St Lucia Zouks have won the toss and have opted to field

Zampa to Firdose: "West Indians could hit the ball a long way!"

The Zouks at the 'Beach Olympics' - a beach resort for kids in St Lucia, it seems.

Maddinson and Tarzan in the middle. Meyers with the ball, to Tarzan.

Gets a bit of in-swing right away. Hurries Smith into his defense.

The left-handed Maddinson to take strike now. Defends a good ball, with a nice sound from the bat.

2-0 in 1 over.

Decent crowd already. Not like that dreadful Test match!

Jerome Taylor to bowl, to Maddinson. He just about had enough of that Test cricket stuff.

Maddinson swings and misses at the 1st two, outside off. And a third! And a 4th! Why wasn't that called for height?

Maddinson hits the 5th back, and its fielded by JT for another dot!

In reply to Norm

Maiden from JT

guyana couldnt find a better player?

GAW 2/0 (2.0 Ovs) CRR: 1

6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666
2.1
Mayers to Dwayne Smith, SIX, completely different plot at this end. A length delivery, Smith swivels and swats this all the way over mid-wicket. Hit with the wind for it to carry, but to be fair, it would have carried over in vacuum

Maddinson couldn't even score a run d last time he played CPL.. and yet the Warriors picked him as ah replacement?

Picked up nicely on off by Smith. He used the in-swing to pull it over square!

Pitch a bit slow. Maddinson goes down the wicket and drives straight back for 1.

11-0 in 3.

GAW 11/0 (3.0 Ovs) CRR: 3.67

Taylor continues, to Smith.

Wide down leg. Dot. Dot. Short ball pulled to square leg. Single.

Bowled !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JT strikes
3.4
Jerome Taylor to Maddinson, out Bowled!! This was coming. It indeed was and all it took was a maiden and a ball to Maddinson from Taylor.

Maddinson b Jerome Taylor 2(10

Maddinson swings across a good length ball from Taylor and is bowled middle stump. Not impressive by Maddinson.

Not a great start by the Warriors. Lynn in.

14-1 in 4.

Watson to bowl. Lynn flicks him off the pads to square leg for 4!

Lynn's bat is about 3 inches thick at about the sweet spot.

44444444444444444444444444444444
4.2
Watson to Chris Lynn, FOUR, lovely use of the bottom hand. Not all power as you would expect from Lynn. Picks this straight good length delivery from his pads and dispatches it over mid-wicket for a boundary

666666666666666666666666666666666666 Lyn
4.5
Watson to Chris Lynn, SIX, now this is power. Length ball martyred. Swings his arms and pomps it over deep mid-wicke

Over mid wicket - easily - from a good length ball on off stump!

24-1 in 5. Run rate picking up a bit.

Delroy Johnson to bowl. Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot!

Too short on the leg stump now and Smith pulls it around for 4!

5.5
D Johnson to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, and this short ball allows Smith to
get taller and plonk a pull through fine leg.

28-1 in 6.

Who will bowl now? Sammy? No. It's Watson again.

Batsmen just pushing it around for 1's and 2's. A hard catch from Smith put down by a diving Sammy in the gully! He was looking into the sun.

GAW 34/1 (7.0 Ovs) CRR: 4.86

Sammy to bowl now. His pace has slowed recently. Now about 105 - kph.

Lynn pulls a short one backward of square for 4!

43-1 in 8.

Johnson again. Hiding it outside off. Brings it bit closer to the off stump and is driven beautifully to long off for 4 by Lynn!

Droppped bt Ray Charles

8.6
D Johnson to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, oh Johnson Charles, you have dropped it and how! A very full delivery Smith isn't quite able to get under it with a loft. Ends up skying it high, high into the sky, long-off thinks he has it covered, reached there and then lets it pops out mysteriously

Smith hit it hard and high to long off, where Charles put down one that he had time to get under.

6666666666666666666666666666 Trazan
9.3
Elliott to Dwayne Smith, SIX, that's a cold, cold shot. You know why? That's broken through the glass shield of the refrigerator kept near the outfield.. Huge. Shattering.

Grant Elliot to bowl. Misfield by JT. Hit straight back now for SIX by Smith!!! The ball cannons into a soda vending machine by the boundary and shatters the glass on it!

62-1 in 10.

Elliot again. Short ball, at 110 kph, pulled to square leg by Lynn for 4!!! Bad ball.

Another short one, outside off and lifting, swatted high behind point for 4 by Smith! Gets his half century!

102-1 in 14.

Mayers comes back.

Driven square in front of point like a rocket for 4, by Lynn!

The Zouks Rock Bank strike it up in the stands.

Walloped high over long on by Lynn for SIX!!!! Walloped high again by Lynn, straight back, for SIX more!!!

17.3
D Johnson to Chris Lynn, SIX

Johnson switches to around the wicket - and still tries to hide it wide outside the off stump!

18.1
Jerome Taylor to Chris Lynn, SIX, this is a full delivery and guess what,

Dropped by Charles again

18.2
Jerome Taylor to Chris Lynn, 1 run, second drop of the night from Johnson Charles! That's gory mediocrity.

444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 Bramble
18.3
Jerome Taylor to Anthony Bramble, FOUR, to deep mid wicket

Taylor again. Good length, in-swinging delivery on middle - and Lynn still powers it straight back for SIX!!!!

Lynn repeats, but the wind keeps it inside the boundary, and Charles drops it again!!!

Bramble plays on after striking Taylor for 4!

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18.4
Jerome Taylor to Anthony Bramble, out Bowled!!

Anthony Bramble b Jerome Taylor 8(7) [4s-1]

Hetmyer in.

GAW 158/3 (19.0 Ovs) CRR: 8.32

Watson to bowl the last over, to Lynn, who's on 86.

Lynn hits the 1st ball high to covers and he's caught!!! Great knock by Lynn.

Lyn gawn
19.1
Watson to Chris Lynn, out Caught by Keddy Lesporis!! It needed an effort like this to get Lynn out, an elephant-lucky Chris Lynn out. He's been surviving with the drops and the breeze coming to his rescue but this sliced loft is nicely pouched by Lesporis who runs in from sweeper cover and dives to take it.

Chris Lynn c Keddy Lesporis b Watson 86(45) [4s-6 6s-6]

Hetty gawn too

Emrit in, but Hetmyer on strike. He hits it high to the man at long off and is caught!

They need to open the batting with Hety!

J Mo comes in, with 4 balls to go. Emrit on strike. Dot!

In reply to Norm

19.2
Watson to Hetmyer, out Caught by Mayers!! Watoo on a hat-trick and these late wickets are robbing the Warriors of that late assault. A very full length did the trick here. Prevented Hetmyer from getting right under the ball meaning the ball wasn't powered away well, long-off settles under it and takes a clean catch.

Hetmyer c Mayers b Watson 0(3)

One run from the last over, with 2 wickets! Excellent last over.

Zouks need 160 to win! Zouks can do this!

In reply to voiceofreason

Smith says the pitch is two-paced, as the sun sets in St Lucia.

The Guyanese players have hardly scored runs for the Warriors - ever. I think Barnwell scored a fifty once. Permaul gets a few at times, and Bramble once in a while.

The Guyanese players probably take most of the wickets for the Warriors tho.

Zouks batsmen in the middle. Charles to face, with Fletcher at the other end.

Tanvir to bowl. Getting some bounce and swing into the right-hander. Fletcher almost plays on!

2-0 in 1.

Permaul to bowl. Pitching a bit short. Fletch lofts him high to long on but it lands safe.

6-0 in 2.

Tanvir again.

Charles whacks a decent delivery on off straight back for 4!!!

Bowled!!! Fletcher charges Tanvir before the ball is released but is cramped by a good length ball on leg.

11-1 in 2.3. Watson in.

Fletcher bowled like a dunce. Tanvir outsmarted him. I really think we should open with Hussey and Charles and let Fletch bat down the innings. Need someone to bat through and Fletch is too hit and miss.

4444444444 Watto!

Watson lays back and cracks it beautifully behind point for 4!!!

Tries it again and misses.

Watson cuts again, high over point for 4!!!

STZ 19/1 (3.0 Ovs) CRR: 6.33 REQ: 8.29

444444444444! Watto look like he mean business tonight!


Zouks machine on the road!

Permaul again. Charles advances two steps and lofts it high over mid wicket for SIX!!!

6666666666666 Johnson!

28-1 in 4. Good start by the Zouks.

Emrit to bowl. Bowling over the wicket and as wide of the crease as possible.

33-1 in 5. Good over by Emrit.

Permaul continues. Charles takes a single and gives Watson the strike. Batsmen rotating the strike nicely.

Paddled by Charles to fine leg for 4!!!

Short on leg and Watson hammers it to mid wicket for 4 more!!!

47-1 in 6 overs.

Orlando Peters to bowl.
Hit straight back by Charles for 4!!!

Hammered straight back hard and high for SIX!!!!

And clouted again for SIX, over mid wicket!!!

66-1 in 7.

Hard to believe Warriors omitted Stephen Jacobs for Orlando Peters.

Zampa to bowl - at a very difficult time.

Charles pushes it gently to square leg and he and Watson scamper 2 quick runs!

Long hop from Zampa caned to long on by Watson for 4 more!

74-1 in 8.

Who will bowl now? Smith will.

Wide!!! Smith looks fat and awkward. Two quick runs taken again, as Smith knocks off the bails in frustration!

Everything going Zouks way here.

And another quick 2 runs taken by Charles and Watson!

83-1 in 9.

Zampa again.

Another quick 2 taken! Half century to Charles! 51 runs from 31 balls.

91-1 in 10. Busta drinks break.

Emrit to bowl, to Charles.

Skies it from a leading edge and it falls short of mid off!!!
Tries to paddle it from off and couldn't get it away!
Top edges the last ball high over fine leg for SIX!!!

Zampa again. Everything going wrong for the Warriors.

Tossed up and Charles hammers it hard and high over long on for SIX more!!!

109-1 in 12. Partnership is 98.

In reply to Narper

Dwayne Smith to Charles, 1 run, a ground too greasy to catch perhaps. It's Jason at deep mid-wicket who is under this mistimed slog but drops it

Smith to bowl.

444444444444444444444444444
13.3
Dwayne Smith to Watson, FOUR, short and wide and clipped over backward point for a boundary. Was cramped for room but did well to still force the ball away

J Mo, of all people, puts down a straightforward catch from Watson at mid wicket!
Watson responds by cutting it to 3rd man for 4 more!

Guptil gawn...this is not the same Warriors team...even Tanvir bowling crap...and why is Jakes not in de team?

Warriors have fallen away badly in the last 3 games.

In reply to Narper

But the former GAW players are playing like crap for the new teams.
Like Simmo.

This might be the last over coming up.

St Lucia Zouks require another 16 runs with 9 wickets and 31 balls remaining

Lixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx! Zouk Machine unstoppable!

Short ball pulled away for 4 more by Charles! 3 to win.

Sammy is happy!!!

Warriors fans have lost twice today - the Test match and now the CPL match.

Zampa to bowl.

all over

150 partnership

16.1
Zampa to Charles, FOUR, he's done it in style with a 150-run partnership! St Lucia Zouks stomp to a 9-wicket win, thus making it a hat-trick of home wins. What a turnaround. Charles clubs this short delivery away between long-on and deep mid-wicket to fetch the winning runs

Guyana Amazon Warriors 159/5 (20/20 ov)

St Lucia Zouks 158/1 (16/20 ov)

St Lucia Zouks require another 2 runs with 9 wickets and 24 balls remaining

Johnson Charles 94 off 52! Highest individual score at this ground! Well partnered by Shane who would be my MOM for his bowling at the death.

In reply to Narper

This must be the most convincing win of the tournament to date.

The Zoucks looked totally in charge.

In reply to voiceofreason

Watto for MOM.....cyah really disagree


Then again Charlo for MOM......Watto wont disagree

Johnson Charles is the Man of the Match
