Rutherford has announced himself loudly....would be hard for any genuine selector to ignore him....but all of our selectors are QUACKS....including dat skunt Harper.

Narper 2021-09-01 22:37:45 

DJ Bravo:
We are gonna bowl first and try and restrict them to a low score. Feeling much better with every game and not worried about my bowling form. Sheldon Cottrell is back for us, Jon-Russ Jaggesar misses out and also Joshua Da Silva misses out.

 
Narper 2021-09-01 22:39:39 

Rovman Powell:
No problems with batting first. Still a lot of room for improvement in the fielding. One change for us. Veerasammy Permaul misses out. They have a lot of left-handers and the change is just from a tactical point of view.

 
Narper 2021-09-01 22:54:17 

Pitch report by Daren Ganga and Danny Morrison: This is the pitch that was used for the previous game. In the last game we saw puff of dust coming out when the cutters were bowled and also because of the heat and the breeze that comes through it's a little dry. Since this is a night game, there could be that moisture factor and the ball could skid on nicely and dew is always a factor here.

Dwayne Bravo to Haider Ali, out Caught&Bowled!! There's the DJ Bravo magic. You just cannot keep him out of the game. Unfurls the slower ball on a fullish length and lures Haider Ali into a drive, only to find his leading edge and grab a sharp one-handed return catch in his followthrough

2.1
F Edwards to Lewis, SIX, the green banks on the on-side has been peppered. That was a length delivery outside off and Lewis swings that across the line for a sixer. His rich vein of form seems to be working great for the Patriots. It will take some time to retrieve that. Some field changes being made as well

 
Narper 2021-09-02 01:19:26 

2.2
F Edwards to Lewis, no ball

What happened there? Was a high full toss. The ball must have slipped out. The batter slammed it straight down the throat of the man at long-on. The no-ball hasn't been called yet as the umpires have sent it upstairs to confirm the legality of the ball. Seemed a no-ball for sure.

Migael Pretorius to Thomas, out Caught by Powell!! Excellent captaincy! The slip fielder was there despite a quick start and he gobbles a catch at slip. The batter poked at it in a lame manner to edge it which went flying to the man at slip. The Patriots have lost their first and their anchor man is gone

Powell to Lewis, SIX, Powell to Lewis, SIX, it has been six or nothing kind of a day for Lewis. That was short and Lewis slotted it over deep mid with the help of a pull. Powell is expected to be the fifth bowler and Lewis has made his intentions clear from ball one

 
Narper 2021-09-02 01:59:06 

8.4
Powell to Lewis, out Caught by Joshua James!! And Powell after an ordinary start to the over has picked the big wicket. Lewis tried to walk across the sticks and slog it but ended up toe-ending it. The ball went aerial without it being timed. The man at mid-wicket did an excellent job to take it.

Lewis c Joshua James b Powell 39(27) [4s-2 6s-4]

10.1
Powell to Rutherford, SIX, wow! Rutherford has lifted one over cover for a flat six I guess. That was hit really sweetly by the batter as that was a length ball angled across. The ball might have landed just over the ropes. The third umpire took his time but decided it had landed beyond the ropes

Migael Pretorius to Rutherford, SIX, and that ball won't come back is what I feel. That was on a length, at the sticks and Rutherford slammed it over deep square for a huge six. Picked the length up and just dismantled that out of his sight. 27 needed now off 21 balls

Sherfane Rutherford, Man of the Match:
Coming into this tournament, I felt I owe some responsibility. I was given a chance to bat in the top order and have given myself time to score runs. There were a lot of weaknesses in my batting. I went to the drawing board and tried to improve my game. The journey has been a good one coming into this game. Bravo is a special person. He asked me to play with a free mind. There is no pressure and thet freedom I get from him is wonderful.

In reply to Narper

Walton striking at 104 and Powell at 88 not acceptable!

 
Narper 2021-09-02 03:02:55 

Powell: We were 20 runs short. Credit to the Patriots as they bowled well in the last 5 overs. Our bowling unit also could have done better. I couldn't introduce James as Lewis in the middle was going great guns.

 
Narper 2021-09-02 03:03:24 

Bravo:
Very proud of them. Good for Windies cricket as you guys like Fabian and Lewis performing. We wanted to chase always. We wanted to keep our compusore. A great team effort. A chase of 160 plus could have been iffy. Another good start from the openers. Fans play a big part in the caribbean and great to have the fans back
