The sixth season of Caribbean Premier League concluded with Trinbago Knight Riders being crowned champions for a record third time, after beating Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final by eight wickets. This was Amazon Warriors' fourth appearance in the final in six years, and they ended up being bridesmaid every single time.

Full Story
I would like to be informed precisely
the following very Important Question
HOW IS THIS BENEFITTING OUR PLAYERS
WHEN THEY COMPETE AGAINST OTHER
COUNTRIES IN THE INTERNATIONAL
CRICKET ARENA ; IN ALL THE FORMATS
OF THE GAME ??????
My perspective is that in comparison
to most, if not all , International
Cricket Teams OUR TEAM is at or near
the BOTTOM ; particularly in the longer versions of the game .
Now this has been the case for quite sometime . I have neither seen or heard of any effort to reverse this
trend in the longer versions of the game .
So in my opinion those who are getting euphoric about the CPL ; are
living in a Fool's Paradise .
In my opinion , Players fulling grounded in ALL the Fundamentals of
Cricket should have no difficulty in
performing well in the 3 Formats of the Game .
fantastic tournament. cant wait for 2019
