Patriots for the win....and the title 2021cpl

Guyana Amazon Warriors have won the toss and have opted to bat

Nedd needs to use his opportunities better. This drop might make him do so now.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Yep..Patriots under Johnny B can win this.

Pooran looks lost as a cappo in this CPL....and for the first two games he hid dong the order...a cappo must lead from the front.

Pouty's poutiness catching up with him...players are no longer intimidated...and he will lose respect from regional players

Hemraj lost plenty of pounds. Gained plenty of beard.

Hafeez struck on the knee by Sherfane's throw from the boundary. Physio out, doing repairs.

van Meekeren to Hafeez, SIX, banged in short, Hafeez gets a bit of a top edge on his pull. The man at deep backward square leg takes an overhead catch but the momentum takes him over the boundary rope. He flicks the ball in the air as he moves back. But, did he make contact with the ad cushions before releasing the ball? That's the question the TV umpire needs to answer. He's convinced that Devon Thomas made contact with the rope. Six

Why even play King if he is so badly out of form? And, yes. I agree that Bramble or Odeen should have been sent in instead of King.

Warriors are about 10 rus short here, as Hety said.

Was Pooran just leading group prayer?

In reply to Norm

Tick tock
Not a done deal yet

Warriors hope Tahir and Odeen will get a couple of wickets each. Hafeez should bowl a few overs cheaply. Nail Smith might get a wicket too. That's the Warriors bowling strategy.
A strategy to get 5 wickets and bowl 12 decent overs.

Thomas bowled by Tahir!

Asif Ali is a very average cricketer. Amazed that he got a CPL contract. There many better Caribbean T20 bats than him sitting on the sidelines.

Deserved to win

Warriors too tentative in everything

Nicky poo not ready to cappo at high intensity level

He was not in control towards the end...looks like everybody was the cappo

In reply to Narper

but he captained the WI Narps

he looks scared and is so soft with his moves

Rutherford has disappeared into the pavilion somewhere. Not much congratulations from the Warriors to Rutherford. A hug from Hety.

In reply to Norm

What a side is this St Kitts
What a leader Bravs

In reply to Norm

Omar Khan has no clue about talent

In reply to doosra

In reply to Halliwell

Bravo is showing that he has outstanding mentoring potential. He and Roach should be kept as close to all WI teams as possible.

In reply to Narper

that's a good point Narps, i didn't think about it that way

he looks scared to death

in the first game i posted like he fraid of Pollard

all i see is fear and that is affecting the decision making

they scored about 25 in the last 3 overs

they need to rethink this approach

In reply to Norm


Rutherford said he had a point to prove

In reply to Narper

Yep, Omar Khan and Rayon Griffith didnt want him

if they know how to manage talent

Remember they had players warming bench for all tournament

In reply to Norm

It’s a damn good spine in that team too
Always helps to lead a solid side

In reply to doosra

Guyana cricket management knows nothing about managing talent. They screwed up Sherfane, Motie, Hety and others. Sherfane was one of the worst cases because it involved personal animosity against an individual player, by people in an illegal administration.

In reply to doosra

In reply to Narper

i hope someone speak to him

unfortunately it will not be his buddies Pollard and Bravo now because they are competing...

Doull, Bishop, all the commies talking about it

he is among the best in the region, he should be desperate to show that

he has time left in the tournament, maybe he will adjust

In reply to Narper

how can 160 be seen a good total against an opposition that chased 150ish against you with ease 24 hours ago?

i was surprised to hear it at the toss, and still surprised

In reply to Norm

Hety may soon go away too

i wouldn't blame him

BTW they did the same thing with the 50 over team last year

Foo who was the best batsman the year before and was in good form in the trials was not picked

badminded ppl

In reply to doosra

And why is Brandon being selected only on 2019 form?
Jamaica don't select him for any other format,

Didnt Bramble open before?
