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

 
Kay 2022-09-08 13:45:36 

Keemo Paul? Is he fit to bowl or he will be playing as a specialist #8 batter?

Anyway if Beaton is the replacement i will rather stick with Paul .....

 
Narper 2022-09-08 13:52:06 

In reply to Kay

Mudland Warriors only need 16 overs to bowl them out...that is the plan wink

 
Narper 2022-09-08 14:04:38 

Bright sunshine greets the players as they take the field

Stirling and C Hemraj are at the crease.

Stirling is on strike.

Cottrell will open the attack

 
Narper 2022-09-08 14:14:15 

1.3
Duan Jansen to Stirling, out Caught by Cottrell!! A terrific catch running back from short fine! It goes a mile in the air off a thick top-edge as Stirling looks to pull - perhaps the length wasn't short enough for it. Cottrell starts running back from the circle, keeps his eyes on it, waits and waits, and holds on.

Is Sterling the best opening bat option for GAW?

In T20's you really need an opener who can intimidate the bowlers right off the bat.

11.2
Dananjaya to C Hemraj, out Lbw!! Length ball sliding through from round the wicket, Hemraj shuffles across, plays across the line and misses. He's hit on the pad and there's a huge appeal for LBW. Dananjaya is convinced but the umpire says not out. They go for a review.and there's three reds on ball-tracking. It's plumb

Warriors is the only team that ain't play an emerging player as yet.

In reply to Narper

Hetty did not manage the strike properly too. He came in with 8 overs still to bowl and of those 48 balls he only faced 21 which is not good enough for the premier batsman

Narper 2022-09-08 16:17:19 

1.3
Shepherd to Lewis, out Caught by Motie!! The fun ends for Evin Lewis. Looks to launch a 135ks length delivery over mid-wicket but the slowness of the track meant it stopped a touch and skewed up off the thick inside half to the left of mid-on who plucks out a running catch to his left.

8.1
Shamsi to Fletcher, no run, dropped! Tough chance but an opportunity nevertheless. Floated up outside off, Fletcher mistimes the slog and drags it off the inside half to the right of Shamsi who tries to take it one-handed (or self preservation perhaps) and couldn't quite hold on

SNP 59/1 (8.1) CRR: 7.22 REQ: 8.79
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots need 104 runs in 71 ball

 
Narper 2022-09-08 16:39:50 

8.3
Shamsi to Brevis, out Lbw!! The shoe-phone-call celebration is out and it only means one thing. Shamsi has got a wicket and his good friend Imran Tahir joins him in celebration. Tahir takes one shoe off and runs towards Shamsi and they leap up in joy midway. Absolute scenes. A bunch of school kids too mimic the celebration in the stands. Bowled full and got enough turn into the right-hander, Brevis looked to play the slogsweep and missed it completely. Hit plumb in front and it was an easy call for the umpire. Brevis went up for a review in hope but no dice; was three reds on ball tracking

Shepherd to Fletcher, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Too easy for Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket. The slower back of a length delivery just outside off, Fletcher looks to heave the pull and gets it off the splice of the bat, no timing and picks out the fielder in the deep to absolute perfection.

13.2
Tahir to Rutherford, out Stumped!! Appeal for stumping and Rutherford looks to be in trouble jere. Tahir bowled the googly outside off and got Rutherford lunging forward on the drive. Nothing on the UltraEdge and the side-on angle shows that Rutherford's back foot is on line and there's nothing behind to be deemed safe.

Odean Smith to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Slower ball bowled into the pitch wide of off, Dwayne Bravo clears his front leg and mistimes the pull straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket. It has just started to drizzle and the Patriots are definitely behind on DLS.

15.2
Odean Smith to Darren Bravo, out Bowled!! Two in two for Odean Smith. The Bravo brothers are back in the hut. Darren Bravo exposes all his stumps and looks to thump Odean Smith down the ground, gets beaten for pace and loses middle and off. No conviction on the shot, just a wild swing and that puts an end to his scratchy knock. Can Smith pick-up a hat-trick here?

As Bravo said, there is a lot to improve. They bowled three extra overs due to the 17 wides and a no ball. Hetmyer cut loose with the bat and Warriors got 10-15 runs extra. Their bowling in the chase was good too, almost till the end. Hetmyer defended his decision to bowl Shepherd but it is subject to scrutiny and how they deal with similar situations in the future would be telling.

Shimron Hetmyer: I don't think I would have done anything differently. We back ourselves every time and it doesn't came off some time. Romario was in the plan to bowl the last over but it did not go our way. It's challenge but also nice to have eight bowling options and them being ready. We have a platform we are working towards with the bat, we need to continue to do our thing.

DJ Bravo: I was on the massage table and when he said 'we won', it was unbelievable. Even with the win, we have a lot to improve. We will discuss it later. Our players gave the opposition momentum which needs to improve.

Duan Jansen, Match Hero: Great feeling because we've spoken about this being a must-win game. To take it down to the end, and pulling out a win like that was a team performance and special. (Turning point) Last over and the second last over gave us momentum. Fletcher did well to keep us in the game too.

In this chase, Hetmyer bowling Stirling early and getting an over off Hemraj seemed to be a masterstroke as they were cheap and allowed the spinners to bowl in the second half or at the death where their bowling hasn't clicked. Then, with four overs to spare, there was rain. On the return, Patriots lost a couple of quick wickets and seemed to not be going after the bowling. But in the last two, they tried to take on all-comers. The slaps off Tahir's wide balls were spectacular. Spare a thought for Shepherd, he looked to go hard length and yorker but missed them. Jansen and Pretorius' table-flipping were exquisite, getting boundaries on demand and bringing up the defending champions' first win.

1:52pm: This was the neo-noir of anti-climaxes. This was Warriors' game to win, Hetmyer even gave Odean the ball but then decided to go with Shepherd and Jansen cleared it with Pretorius

The Muddies lost? I was too busy to watch and picong Narper , Googley and Doostra....darn
