17.5
Tom Curran to Hetmyer, FOUR, a hat-trick of boundaries for Hetmyer! Tom Curran goes for the yorker but ends up overpitching it on middle. Hetmyer clears his front leg and heaves it over mid-wicket to find the ropes again
17.4

Tom Curran to Hetmyer, FOUR, Hetmyer has surely killed the game with these two blows! Full-toss wide outside off, Hetmyer knows where the gaps are. He opens his bat face and slices it over point. No chance for sweeper cover to cut it off. Only run-a-ball needed now
17.3

Tom Curran to Hetmyer, FOUR, A slower good length ball well outside off, Hetmyer throws his bat at it and ends up slicing it over backward point. The fielder chases it but the ball wins the race. Only 18 needed off 15 now

I knew he would have had to be there for them to win. A pity Rutherford didnt play would been a better match up

GULF needed 42 off 24 balls but Lynn and Hetmyer were cool as a cucumber. They scored 18 runs off the 17th over and that killed the game right there. Hetmyer hit the winning runs and the whole camp of the Gulf Giants erupted with joy!

Congrats to Hettie and RTN for winning the tournament with the Gulf Giants!

Shimron Hetmyer:
It's a great feeling, great to see so many fans come out and support us. Nice to come up with a win. (On Brathwaite) He is a absolute champion with the ball and he is leading the pack off the field as well.

Nice, I watched his innings which reminds me of what he is capable of. Like Pooran, his problem is consistency, not a lack of talent. It is good to see him enjoying his cricket. I think he has been under a lot of pressure in recent times.

R U suggesting he was not consistent in this tournament?
Was he consistent in IPL 2022?

It is absolutely outrageous but quite fitting for champions

The members of the Gulf Giants are getting a gold pendant each, weighing 156 (the weight of a cricket ball) grams for each medal - encrusted with 240 (the number of deliveries in a T20) diamonds. A brilliant performance from them throughout the tournament.

Not in the tournament which to be honest I didn't really follow. I mean when playing for the West Indies as well as in FC cricket.

Matter of fact, Chrissy had a video of a mature gentleman who was talking about the talent batting-wise in the West Indies. Guess which names came up? He mentioned you guessed it, Pooran and Hetmyer. He stated that they are the most talented but aren't living up to their potential. When Hetmyer is in form he is a joy to watch.

Suddenly the doctor and puncheon man consider mercenary behavior holy- suddenly he is catching flights and playing no 4 day cricket shock

NONSENSE

If you follow what I have been saying is we have to find a way to have our best players playing ALL FORMATS for the WI.

I consider Hettie,Pooran,King and Hope to be our best batsmen and they should be playing both WHITE AND RED ball cricket for the West Indies.

The Lara group recentlysaid essentially the same thing.

It requires diplomacy, sagacity and compromise but can be done if there are men with the interest of WI cricket as their primary concern rather than men with outsize egos.

So this fat waste is great but every talented trini you destroy with your evil mouth. You are just like your cousin. confused

Good finish today by Hety. I wish Sherfane was fit for today’s game as well

1.How does one "destroy" someone with their mouth?

2.Assuming one can actually do so, which talented Trini did I destroy apart from you?

3.Which cousin is this?
