"You'd need to ask the owners why players weren't retained (smiles)."
I guess ppl wanted to know about Guptil?

In reply to tops

0.3
Tanvir to Guptill, out Caught by Emrit!! Waoh. You screaming beauty Emrit. Guptill does nothing wrong, gets under the full length and smokes a drive wide and over mid-off. Poor Guptill, he just didn't know of Emrit's whereanouts, who leaps up one-handed, timing it to perfection as the ball sticks and refuses to pop out even as he falls over on his head

Guptill c Emrit b Tanvir 0(2)

Emrit to Shai Hope, 2 runs, a late opened up dab backward of point, realizes third man is quite fine and pulls Smith back for the second
5.3
Emrit to Shai Hope, FOUR, juicy length, very straight as well and Hope whips it across the line, into a wide gap at cow corner. Never mind the dive in the deep, he can't stop it from rolling over

K Paul to Smith, FOUR, width again and thrashed! Smith clobbers it off the bottom half but got it in the gap square on the off-side
11.1
K Paul to Smith, FOUR, offers width outside off, Smith opens the bat face and steers it in the gap wide of third man

11.4
K Paul to Shai Hope, 1 run, yes-no, yes-no for the single. A direct hit would have been curtains for Hope.

Steven Smith *41 (36

In reply to JOJO

Showing off his limited overs talent...don't know why he pokes for WI

13.1
Tahir to Smith, out Lbw!! Smith doesn't wait for the umpire decision. Buries his head down and starts ambling furiously towards the dressing room as the umpire puts his finger up. As expected, it's the googly from Imran Tahir; pitches in line with middle and pins him around top of leg. Huge appeal and given. Replays prove that the ball was doing too much and may have missed the leg peg.

Smith lbw b Tahir 41(37) [4s-6]

Inspired by Russell I am told!

we broke for the local news so not seeing anything at the moment.

whats the score?

In reply to powen001

146/3 after 17 … Hope 81 Pooran 16

17.2
K Paul to Shai Hope, SIX, serving upto Shai Hope's strengths. He is being helped by some rubbish bowling by the Warriors: Full and wide, Hope clubs it clean and flat over extra cover

17.5
K Paul to Shai Hope, out Caught by Hetmyer!! And the hope of getting a 100 ends. Keemo Paul shortened his length and offered no pace to complicate matters for Hope, he looked to smash it flat, but can only hit it as far as long-on. Easy catch for Hetmeyer

Shai Hope c Hetmyer b K Paul 88(45) [4s-6 6s-6]

In reply to JOJO
Nah. Deh drop his rass and realization dawn on him.

Damn girl, lotsa racism in Guyana? Talk about being politically correct

18.4
Tanvir to Pooran, 1 run, brilliant effort from Walton. Nearly pulled off a screamer. He was adjacent to the deep mid-wicket ropes and he jumped over 'em to grab it cleanly, but as the momentum pushed him back, he flung the ball back into play in the nick of time. All that after Pooran belted one out of the screws

19.1
K Paul to Pooran, SIX, slower ball, picked up and deposited over long-off fence with an air of swagger

19.3
K Paul to Pooran, SIX, to long-of

19.5
K Paul to Pooran, SIX, full and zooming into his pads

Highest score in CPL at this venue.

Guyana must think about a 3rd spinner

said that last night

Great effort by the Tridents, on the back of an outstanding knock by Shai.
Warriors will need something special to win this.

Did someone mention Kemo Therapy the adda day?

GAW 3/0 (1.0 Ovs) CRR: 3 REQ: 9.63

1.2
Holder to Ronchi, no run
1.1
Holder to Ronchi, no run

1.5
Holder to Walton, SIX, straight down the ground gets underneath the full delivery and clubs it clean straight back over the bowler's head

1.6
Holder to Walton, out Lbw!! Appeal for lbw and given. Seemed fifty-fifty to the naked eye, but this track isn't known to offer any zippy, extra bounce. Holder gets this to land on a length and strikes Walton quite low having caught him on the back foot shuffle, the umpire takes his time before unveiling the dreaded finger. Would have crashed into leg IMO

Walton lbw b Holder 6( [6s-1]

GAW 10/1 (2.0 Ovs) CRR: 5 REQ: 9.78

Holder 1-0-7-1

2.2
Irfan to Hetmyer, FOUR, edged and through! A big edge on the poke outside off, it flies in the gap between keeper and the slip. Both dived, but no dice

2.4
Irfan to Hetmyer, SIX, transfers his weight onto the back foot and clonks this length ball into cow corner orbit

GAW 22/1 (3.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.33 REQ: 9.65
Guyana Amazon Warriors need 164 runs

3.3
Holder to Ronchi, FOUR, sits up on a length, Ronchi picks it up and mauls the pull over mid-wicket

3.5
Holder to Hetmyer, SIX, that's inviting danger. Full ball in the zone, Hetmyer clears his front leg and smites it all the way

3.6
Holder to Hetmyer, FOUR, now the length is short and what does Hetmyer do? Gives himself enough room to spank the ball in the gap through mid-wicket, sheer power

4.3
R Reifer to Ronchi, out Caught by Nurse!! No feet

Ronchi c Nurse b R Reifer 10(11) [4s-1]

GAW 40/2 (4.3 Ovs) CRR: 8.89 REQ: 9.42

4.4
R Reifer to Hetmyer, out Caught by Guptill!! Double blow for the Warriors. Poor shot selection from Hetmyer. There was a man stationed near the deep mid-wicket fence and he pulled it straight towards him to his right. A simple grab for Guppy. Nothing special about this wicket though

Hetmyer c Guptill b R Reifer 22(9) [4s-2 6s-2]

Smh Hetmyer.

Run rate up, Just lost a wicket, 15 overs left

5.5
Irfan to Rutherford, no run, splices the push towards cover and calls for a quick single

5.4
Irfan to Rutherford, no run
5.3
Irfan to Rutherford, no run, mistimes the drive back to the bowler
5.2
Irfan to Rutherford, no run, on the back foot, uses high hands and blocks into the off-side

5.1
Irfan to Rutherford, wide, another wide down the leg-side
5.1
Irfan to Rutherford, wide, full delivery slips down leg, the keeper does well to put a dive and limit any further damage of runs

5.6
Irfan to Rutherford, FOUR, goes short and gets hammered away over mid-wicket. Rutherford didn't had to move an inch there, just stood tall and offered ball the direction it needed or perhaps deserved
goes

7.3
Nurse to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, to third man
7.2
Nurse to Rutherford, 3 runs, pushes hard at an offbreak and feeds a thick edge that runs all the way towards the third man fence until a seven foot frame - Irfan - dives valiantly to prevent the boundary

GAW 60/3 (8.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.5 REQ: 10.5

Guyana Amazon Warriors need 126 runs in 72 balls

Sherfane Rutherford 10 (12

Shoaib Malik *8 (9

Rutherford and Malik letting it slip, especially Malik.

Malik gotta bat thru

let Rutherford go for it

Guyana Amazon Warriors need 116 runs in 60 balls

10.4
Riaz to Rutherford, FOUR, to deep extra cover

11.2
Nurse to Shoaib Malik, SIX, down on a knee, adopts the line into his slot and uses the spin coming in to smoke it into cow corner's grass banks

Malik finally smokes one over mid wicket off Nurse for 6!

GAW 94/3 (13.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.23 REQ: 13.14
Guyana Amazon Warriors need 92 runs in 42 balls

This looks to be a last over thriller if GAW can keep it going or get it going

Holder to Rutherford swivel and 6!

13.4
Holder to Rutherford, SIX, the cardinal length. Rutherford picks, and picks the bones off it. Horizontally in pumping it way into fine leg. He needed this let off, his side needed this let off

13.6
Holder to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, oh the dew.

GAW 109/3 (14.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.79 REQ: 12.83
Guyana Amazon Warriors need 77 runs in 36 balls

Holder to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, oh the dew. Guptil skates to cut it off and stops short

14.2
R Reifer to Rutherford, FOUR, waits a little longer for this one. And makes it pay.

14.3
R Reifer to Rutherford, 1 run, dropped. Heaved straight back, powerfully, Reifer sticks out his palms, but the ball just doesn't
14.2

Boundary fielding is again poor Nurse tries his best but it was too far and fast for him tips it into the rope eventually. 4! Rutherford

GAW 117/3 (15.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.8 REQ: 13.8
Guyana Amazon Warriors need 69 runs in 30 balls

Only 8 from the over

Malik can't get past the fielders.....

15.2
Nurse to Shoaib Malik, SIX, much needed.much needed. But what's with the ploy of bowling offies at the death? Malik goes down quickly, and the ball goes quicker into the sightscreen with his smash

15.3
Nurse to Shoaib Malik, out Bowled!! Oh what do we know? Nurse responds by holding onto the ball longer, denying Malik pace, or the space to work this around. Tried dabbing it past the keeper, but the ball just jagged in sharply, beat the bat, took the under-glove and rebound to dislodge the stumps. Is that the game?

Shoaib Malik b Nurse 38(30) [4s-2 6s-2]

GAW 129/4 (16.0 Ovs) CRR: 8.06 REQ: 14.25

R Reifer to Chris Green, out Caught by Holder!! He had to keep going. But Reifer smartly changes up the pace on this wide tease, Green reaches out, goes through the line but ends up with a soft lofted check down extra cover's throat.

Jason Mohamed has to be dropped

this team is poorly made up

this is done

GAW fans heading for the exit

In reply to doosra

Tanvir should have sent up the order to slug long time


Emrit shoulb be the cappo....he knows all the players and what they can do...Mailk clueless

In reply to powen001

stewwppss

done from the 16th over

In reply to Narper

Botha does not understand this group of players

The skipper played poorly....

35 from 8 balls needed.

Rutherford caught off the glove, and Reifer gets 5 wickets!
Fans streaming out of the stadium in disappointment.

18.5
R Reifer to Rutherford, out Caught by Pooran!! A troubled stay ends with a troubled shot. It was short, it was slow, but Rutherford, as has been all through the innings, goes hard at this one as well - loses shape obviously as he pulls - and spoons it off the outside of his glove to balloon over to the keeper. What's more, Reifer has a fifer.

Rutherford c Pooran b R Reifer 48(46) [4s-4 6s-2]

there is no thinking in this team

too static

send someone to hit the ball

19.2
Riaz to Tanvir, out Bowled!! The leg-cutter now does the business. Tanvir was merely going through the motions, heaves all over it, getting undone by the lack of pace, getting undone by the lack of bounce and watches his stumps take the beating

Tanvir b Riaz 0(1)

Tanvir bowled by Diaz!

GAW 154/8 (19.2 Ovs) CRR: 7.97 REQ: 48

sheer dunceness and no strategy

In reply to LBW375

In reply to doosra

Warriors need to solve this batting problem. Ronchi at the top is not a good idea. Too many slowish batsmen in the middle order.

In reply to Narper

In reply to Norm

Send Tanvir to hit at the top or get Gaja up there

they need another spinner in this team as well

Jason Mohamed has no place in this team

Barbados Tridents won by 30 runs

In reply to powen001

Ok powen get that smile of ya face , TKR coming to town.

first blood to bimsters

In reply to sgtdjones

Rutherford batted too slowly, but at least he is developing.
The managers of some of these teams seem more interested in helping their friends than in developing young WI talent.
Anyway, excellent effort by the Tridents!

In reply to sgtdjones

Tridents won this by putting an excellent total on the board. Shai surprised everyone!

Rutherford a real club level slugger lost the game for warriors as the bowlers glad to bowl at him. Hety deserve blame too , what a brainless lash!

In reply to Norm

Kemo looks tired these last 2 games

death bowling for about 1 month can do that to you

his full balls had no venom

In reply to jacksparrow

Rutherford looks more a proper bats than slogger

Rutherford should be bowling

can't have Paul and Emrit in same team...i think they bring similar...

bowl Rutherford and get another spinner in there.

They have to change things up

Malik seems static in his thinking as well

In reply to Narper

Malik keeps singing this 50 story

he should open the batting then and bat thru

Ok so the bowlers bowled well at him? Na man

Was that the Rutherford peeps rated so highly? He missed out on some dollies.

In reply to Runs

he batted ok. he was a bit nervous...watch out for more

he should be bowling as well

it now start
