TKR aim for home rebound,Time to wake up
“The amazing welcome that we are getting right now, that is just going to set the pace for tomorrow... A great bunch of guys so we just have to make sure we make the cricket ball and the cricket bat talk tomorrow.”Surrounded by fans, dancing girls and the Carib drummers at Piarco International Airport yesterday, Andre Russell sounded like a man motivated to be the “Dre Russ” not yet seen in this year’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL).And today, Russell and the rest of the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) have the chance to begin making amends for a slow start to the 2022 CPL T20 campaign when they take on high-flying leaders Barbados Royals at the Queen’s Park Oval from 7 p.m.
TKR go into the match bottom of the six-team table following heavy defeats to the Royals (80 runs) and the Jamaica Tallawahs (34 runs) in the St Lucia leg of the CPL. The Royals by contrast are thriving with a perfect five-game win streak under David Miller, and having already beaten TKR, will be confident of completing the double.Yesterday, Hosein confirmed that his rehabilitation is ongoing. “It’s progress for now and I’m hoping to get back out on the park soon,” he said. And while he cannot currently help his teammates, Hosein said a TKR turnaround was possible, “once we play together as a team...I think it’s just putting it together and everyone playing their roles and not leaving it up for anybody else.”
Nicholas Pooran, who like Russell is playing his first season with the Trinidad franchise, put it this way: “The fans are our 12th man.”
Both the TKR first XI and the “reserves” will have to be on their game to stop the Royals spoiling the party.

Skipper Pollard bemoans batting woes as TKR beaten again
TRINBAGO KNIGHT Riders (TKR) captain Kieron Pollard hopes their next Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match, against the Guyana Amazon Warriors, in front a home crowd at the Queen’s Park Oval, St Clair on Tuesday can provide the spark needed to rebound from their recent pair of defeats.
TKR lost their second consecutive match, by 34 runs, against Jamaica Tallawahs at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Saturday. This comes after Wednesday’s 80-run defeat, via the Duckworth-Lewis system, against Barbados Royals.
After four matches, the four-time CPL winners have one win, two losses and a no result.
Once again, TKR’s bolstered batting line-up, which includes big-hitters Pollard, West Indies white ball captain Nicholas Pooran, Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell and Kiwis Colin Munro and Tim Seifert, could not get the TT franchise over the line.Pollard remains optimistic the team’s tide may change in front of the home fans on Tuesday.

Akeal is the trump card for TKR.
This injury looks more serious than we thought.
Philip should not be opening the batting.

as it should be whenever cricket is played seriously!!
I agree that they need to re-think the opening partnership. Hopefully we get a night when everything clicks for both teams so can we can see which is truly stronger. I suspect that Odean may be looking forward to bowling to Pouty! Barbados may rule the 4 day championships but in limited overs cricket, TT v Guy is the classic match up. I will be trying to look at this match!

Seeing empty seats in the stadium tells me people really don't care for cricket in the region anymore and not even CPL can bring them out!!!
