Ralphie never liked shoes from way back in the 90s

Take care Shiv don’t start to rain blows on poor sirAmbi
Shiv talking and Ambi not answering the great man fast enough

Mayers needs to get off the mark, he has faced 8 deliveries now.

1 from 17 balls

woah

In reply to doosra

Shiv is a genius dot com

17-3!!!!

In reply to Halliwell

what happened?

they found a loophole?

First loss incoming, 17/3, is there something so difficult about this pitch?

29 dot balls in that 36 power play

is that a record or something

and it will be more spin at Providence

the last part of the CPL will be interesting

Time for the foreign players to show how it is done. Come lads, there is nothing special about this pitch!!!!

In reply to Halliwell

130 should be enough to defend. Come on lads, still time to get an ok total.

47/4 .

In reply to Dukes

130 still on the cards.

10.3
Migael Pretorius to Miller, 1 run, dropped! Jangoo puts down a straightforward chance and this could be a big miss, given Miller's recent form. Was a hard length ball that bounced extra off the deck, cramped Miller completely and he got it off the shoulder of the blade. Jangoo flung his left hand with the dive, but couldn't hold on

100 up for the Royals, 104/4.

Look at QDK's strike rate of 148.48 without a single 6. 49 off 33 balls with 6 4s. Class player.

50 for QDK, fantastic innings.

In reply to Windiesfan78

He seems to love WI conditions. He was the difference between SA and WI in the test series here. Without him, the teams were pretty much on par. Lessons for Hety when he thinks of that awful shot that caused his dismissal last night

In reply to VoopsandOut

It's true, I always rated him as a top player. He is a joy to watch when he is in form.

Target achieved, 130/4, Royals 7 wins in a row with this fighting score !

130/5, good innings fron Millie.

What an innings from QDK!!!!! 74 runs from 43 balls! This is a winning total. Strange tactic from Rovman not to bowl out Imad who was the pick of the bowlers.

0.1
Holder to Brandon King, 2 runs, with a slip in place, Holder starts with a full delivery. Brandon King's bottom hand comes off the bat handle as he goes over mid-on. More height than distance. Fortunately for King, it was just out of mid-on's reach who ran back

0.3
Holder to Jangoo, FOUR,126.9kph, Jangoo chases this wide delivery and gets it off the toe-end. Cornwall, at first slip, not only doesn't dive but also pulls his left hand in to let the ball go past him

In reply to Narper

Jangoo mother clapping and jumping and waving at an outside edge through first slip
Second coming of Lawrence Rowe

0.4
Holder to Jangoo, FOUR, 127.4kph, Holder switches to round the wicket to bowl a length ball, Jangoo opens his bat-face and guides it in the gap between first slip and short third man

In reply to Halliwell

Even the dropped catch she cheered....no I am joking

1.3
Bishop to Jangoo, FOUR, shorter and wider, Jangoo waits for it on the back foot and cuts it through point. Runs away to the fence

In reply to Halliwell

His father is dancing with Tallwahs flag

1.6
Bishop to Jangoo, FOUR, overpitched, width on offer as well, Jangoo leans forward and hammers the drive through the covers. Extra cover chases but can only escort the ball to the fence

Errrrrrrr, this is not the start I wanted!! BRING ON the deadly spinner Rahman.

2.1 Corbin Bosch to Brandon King, FOUR, that's a cracking shot! 137.4kph, length ball outside off, Brandon King stands tall, stays leg-side of the ball and hammers it wide of mid-off. Stand and deliver stuff from King!

In reply to Windiesfan78

3.2
Mujeeb to Brandon King, SIX, full in the slot at 93.9kph, Brandon King hoists it over long-off. Gets under the ball and swings through the line

3.4
Mujeeb to Jangoo, FOUR, 90.2kph, full delivery from round the wicket, Jangoo moves leg-side in an attempt to go over the off-side. Slices off the outer edge

In reply to Narper

, this looks like one of the two losses I was talking about.

3.6
Mujeeb to Brandon King, FOUR, darted down leg and King helps it on its way to the fine leg fence

Royals look like a Johnson sweetbread put pun the table.

Obed McCoy, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
4.1
Obed McCoy to Jangoo, no run, short of length delivery outside off, chopped to point

6666666666666666666666666666666666
4.2
Obed McCoy to Jangoo, SIX, superb shot! Shortish delivery, Jangoo spots the length early and pummels it over deep mid-wicket with a pull shot. An authoritative stroke from the left-handed batsman

4.3
Obed McCoy to Jangoo, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! One shot too many! 121.1kph, the slower ball does the trick for Obed McCoy. Slow and pace off, Jangoo is early into his loft. A sitter for mid-off. Jangoo is gone

Jangoo c Corbin Bosch b Obed McCoy 29(1 [4s-5 6s-1]

JT 53/1 (4.3) CRR: 11.78 REQ: 6.06

Jangroo seems to have a point to prove today. However, the Real McCoy put an end to it. 53/1 in 4.3 overs. Time for Jimbo to set the cat amongst the pigeons.

Time for Brooks to play the throw the game innings .

Keep King off strike Brooks .

easy pickings

Jamaica Tallawahs need 77 runs in 75 balls

In reply to shivnotout

Yup, I knew I would lose eventually. 6 out of 7 ain't too bad. Better to lose now than when it matters the most. GAW know a lot about that . I wouldn't have a problem with GAW winning the competition, just not TKR again.

Looks like the Royals are resolved to getting the obligatory loss out of the way.

They're just ambling along carefree on the field.

In reply to Drapsey

Why bother, can't win them all. This is the reality check needed. Let it be last time before the Royals lift the trophy .

Losing on DLS is more respectable for the best team in the tournament .

Dis Done!

In reply to natty_forever

Yup, finally defeated.

In reply to Windiesfan78

I said they will not win another match.

How we expect men to perform losing de Kock.

In reply to natty_forever

Oh, is that so!!!! This should be the last match that they lose. However, I expect another one before I lift the trophy. Better to lose now than in the final. Ask GAW how that feels .

In reply to natty_forever

Remember we won already with QDK getting out for a duck.

11.6
Mujeeb to Powell, 5 wides, erratic from Mujeeb as he fires this well down the leg-side, Powell can't get bat on this and Azam Khan can't collect it either

Wonder what is the combined weight of Bajan Franchise.

BOWLED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12.1
Holder to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Chopped on! No room as King looks to play this off the back foot, wanted to steer it down to third man but could only get an inside edge onto the stumps.

Brandon King b Holder 46(33) [4s-3 6s-2]

In reply to Narper

Reifer gone now, the Bajans trying hard to win this fuh we. 6 more wickets men!!!

12.4
Holder to R Reifer, out Caught&Bowled!! Holder has two in the over! And he seems very chuffed with it as well. Slower ball, quite full and Reifer falls across a bit on the flick, only to get a big leading edge that balloons right back towards Holder.

Jamaica only needs singles. Why those shots by Bajans Brooks and Reifer to cause some pressure?

Holder to Fabian Allen, out Bowled!! And that self-dug hole has now gotten bigger! Officially looks like a choke now and Tallawahs need to wake up from their slumber soon.

Fabian Allen b Holder 1(10)

I am backing Tallawahs 100% to win this CPL,and I hope Jangoo don't ever think of playing for TKR,Jangoo must show thanks to Jamaica for showing confidence in him.Jangoo always had lots of potential and TKR didn't see that.

Where were you last nite , you left Narps to take all the picong...chicken

16.4
Holder to Powell, SIX, Powell has had enough! Decides to take Holder on and deposits this over the deep mid-wicket fence. Slower ball, a tad too full and the Tallawahs skipper spotted it early

We are kind guests...we don't embarrass our host

That six last over looks so much significant now

That is what you call a Big 6!

It was so important in the context of the match. Happy it was off Holder too

In reply to Halliwell

In reply to Prako
There was a famous prostitute in San Fernando called "Big 6".

End the game, I will take the loss, it just means that the next team will get thumped up.

Bravo Tallawahs!

When I was very young still at school most of the boys from San Fernando would talk about her.I don't know why she was christened that name.

In reply to Dukes

Mussee "big sex" but granite didnt know

Is me or Tallawahs wasa try lose this.

Cricinfo says Tallawahs won by 6 runs, batting second. Is it that DL changes the order of things?

In reply to Dukes

Granite knows he doesn't want to spill the beans , it would implicate him..

In reply to granite

Granite , you are indeed a rock man

In reply to tc1
Mek we go backroom and ah gine tell all.

It was a see-sawing contest in the end: Tallawahs were dominating 12 overs into the chase, when they needed 40 from 48 balls with eight wickets in hand. Holder hit back with through multiple strikes, with Royals having recovered from 47 for 4 earlier. Thanks for joining us today, as a tight game comes to an end.


Imad Wasim is the Player of the Match: "Today was a good game for both teams. [Worried] slightly... We knew Rovman was in. He is the right guy. I know him since 2015 - lovely chap, one of the best players in the world..."

2.32pm So Tallawahs win by six runs via DLS, as the umpires have concluded that there will be no play as rain continues. This means Royals suffer first defeat of the season.

2.30pm There is still no sign of play in Port of Spain, as rain falls steadily. Remember, Tallawahs will win by six runs via DLS method if no play is possible from here.

Steve: "So, is it the case that if play had been suspended a mere 3 balls earlier Royals would have pulled off a spectacular win (assuming no more play)?" --- Who knows, but Tallawahs did manage a crucial nine runs off those three balls..
