West Indies!

looking for improved bowling and out field game today

Hopefully Pierre and Kesrick not in the playing XI!

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to field

Sheppard replaces Kesrick Williams

So the skipper dropped Kesrick and kept his friend Pierre?

Trinis in full control

Disappointed that Pierre and Hetmyer persisted with but.

1.4
Romario Shepherd to Kevin O Brien, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Kevin O Brien was looking off colour today and he will have to depart. It was a yorker on the stumps, Kevin O Brien wanted to flick it away to the leg-side, he gets squared up a touch. It pops up in the air off the leading edge and Hetmyer at mid-off takes an easy catch.

Kevin O Brien c Hetmyer b Romario Shepherd 4(7) [4s-1]

gwaan big shep

do yer ting bruh

In reply to Narper

Shepherd strikes! KOB out for four.

Samuel Badree says there is 40% chance of rain. "There is a strong breeze which the bowlers should look to work to their advantage," Darren Sammy says. "You have to make batsmen hit against the breeze. So far it's advantage Ireland. The bowling team will win this game."

Showers till 10 pm...???

In reply to Narper

Snow

Beautiful cricket ground.

Nice, a little Barrington Levy from the dj.

Pouteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!

11.2
Pollard to Gareth Delany, out Caught by K Pierre!! Skipper got himself on and breaks this dangerous looking partnership. He looks pumped. Gareth Delany wanted to hoick it straight down the ground, not enough bat on it. Pierre ran to his left from long-off, he was pretty close to the ropes but did well to make sure he stays away from it

Great Catch! That Catch should permanently cement his place on the team forever

steupse

Fcuk up there.....WTF was dat? That was de Shep catch...Johnny B
12.3
Romario Shepherd to Andy Balbirnie, 1 run, ohh! The excitement of Romario Shepherd lets himself down. He directs a well disguised slower delivery, Andy Balbirnie was early into the shot and he top-edges it. It skews up in the air and lands around the cover region. Both Romario Shepherd and Bravo were under it, Shepherd went for the catch but puts it down!

wtf just happened there ??

Shepherd would have dropped that any way


what the back side!!!

BRavo is facing the ball....

Shepherd should have backed off

they look like curry goat cricketers there

bad miss

In reply to jahmekyah

He will come good over time...Pierre is a work in progress.

12.6
Romario Shepherd to Harry Tector, SIX, that's been nailed from Harry Tector. He gets under it and pumps it over long-on for a sixer

Redeeemded!!!

Brilliant catch

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!taken by Sheppy

13.2
Pollard to Andy Balbirnie, out Caught by Romario Shepherd!! Shepherd makes up for his mistake by taking this spectacular catch. Well, it seems, he drops dollies and takes blinders. It was a slower delivery and Andy Balbirnie miscues the slog, Romario ran sharply to his right, he knew he won't be able to reach it so he puts in a desperate dive and snaffles it. He smashed the ground at a good pace while diving but still held onto the catch.

Andy Balbirnie c Romario Shepherd b Pollard 36(32) [4s-4]

17.2
Pollard to Dockrell, out Caught&Bowled!! Fourth wicket for Pollard and it's been a dream spell for the skipper. He bowls it wide of off and was a slower one. Dockrell fails to pick up the slower delivery and was early on the push. It bounces extra, takes the top-edge and it skews up in the air. Pollard takes a dolly.

Dockrell c and b Pollard 2(3)

Looks like no overs lost.
Come on team. Rain hold up till dis game done.
But if you have to come to save WI base on DL den fall hard even if I end up getting wet lol

Out caught behind and run out

18.4
Cottrell to Simi Singh, out Caught by Pooran!! Very full delivery wide of off, Simi Singh fails to connect the drive. He gets an outside edge and Pooran takes the catch. Pooran was smart enough to throw the ball at the non striker's end and the batter has been run-out too. Hold on, it's not been given out caught behind and Pollard has decided to make the use of DRS. And there is an outside edge so Simi Singh is out caught behind

Simi Singh Simi Singh c Pooran b Cottrell 4(3)

In reply to Chrissy

Cottrell to Joshua Little, out McCarthy Run Out!! This is strange from Joshua Little as he leaves the last ball of the innings. McCarthy dashed down for a single but Joshua Little was not keen at all.

Crazy weather indeed

9.35pm And we have an update. Play will resume on 9.45pm.

In reply to sgtdjones

Covers back on.

Viraj: "I can see they are now covering even the bowler's run-up. Puddles out there. Winds catching up too. Not looking great."


Rain till 10 pm..looking like a washout

game washout which means we cannot win this series anymore

Match dun

Call it off …..

In reply to Narper

Now they claim Pouty pelting...

Amazing Caribbean peeps.

It's been called off

9.58pm And the game has been called off. And that means Ireland now have an unassailable 1-0 lead in this three-match series.

Danish: "An over lost for every 4 minutes means we have now lost 11 overs by 09:53 and West Indies will bat a maximum of 6-7 overs if play were to start right now. This will be tight since they need to bat a further 2.4 overs for it to be constituted a match, right?" -- Yup, that sounds right but at the moment, the rain has returned and the covers are back on.

Same weather forecast for tomorrow's game....

So Polly will have to try again to win that t20 series
