St Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders ..VOR...?

In reply to voiceofreason

Your boy Carty looks to be in fine test form tonight.

10 from that final Noor over ! Good one for TKR. 147/4 after 16.

Pollard such power ! Forde gets the treatment! 666.

Forde to Pollard, SIX runs
Pollard power! Short and well outside off. But Pollard, somehow, has managed to fetch it. Brings all of his long levers into play and bludgeons it over wide long on!

Forde to Carty, OUT
oh, what a grab by David Wiese! The substitute fielder, right in the thick of the action, and bringing the Kings right back into this contest!

Keacy Carty c sub (D Wiese) b Forde 15 (22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 68.18

Trinbago Knight Riders...(16.3/20 ov, T:18 154/5
Trinbago need 34 runs in 21 balls.


Forde to Gous, OUT
Andries Gous has to depart too, and the crowd comes to life!

Andries Gous c Descarte b Forde 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50


Trinbago Knight Riders...(17/20 ov, T:18 156/6
Trinbago need 32 runs in 18 balls.

Carty goes a torturous knock 15 off 22 balls! Wiese great catch! Forde strikes!

Really need the wicket of Pollard.

That catch by Wiese aged 39 probably the catch of the season so far!

Goonnnnnnnnneeeee forde strikes again! Gous gone cheaply! Its all down to the big Man Pollard and well Terrance hinds can hit some big ones. Far from over!

Have no fear, Pouty is still there!

27 off 12. The pressure is on. Pollard needs to find the fence a few times this over. Forde to bowl the penultimate over


Forde to Pollard, SIX runs
Pollard breaks the shackles! A smidgen short outside off and that is all Pollard needs. Picks the length in a flash, swivels and dumps it flat over the deep square leg fence!


Forde to Pollard, SIX runs
another Kieron Pollard special - and that too under severe pressure!

Trinbago need 3 runs in 6 balls.


Forde to Pollard, SIX runs
straight as a dye, and flat as a tank!

Forde to Pollard, SIX runs
fifty for Kieron Pollard, and he has brought it up in vintage style!


Pollard is hitting with the breeze to the leg side

Only 5 from Aljo's over! RRR 13.50 . Penultimate over could be the game changer. Forde to bowl. Dot ball first up to Pollard! 27 from 11.

666 Pollard once he is there its not over!

Pollard declines the run! He is taking this himself!

6666 more Pollard off Forde!


6666 again!

666666 again! 50 for Pollard ! 3 from the last over!

Trinbago need 3 runs in 6 balls.

Alzarri Joseph to Hosein, FOUR runs
Hosein finishes it with one blow, and the Knight Riders win with five balls to spare! Pollard does the shush celebration again, and the crowd descends into silence. They cannot believe what has hit them!
This is short and wide outside off, which allows Hosein to free his arms. Gets a good chunk of it too and flays it over backward point. A few shell-shocked looks from those in the Kings camp. They came up against the might of Pollard tonight and when that happens, you usually come up second-best!

Three needed off the final over, which will be bowled by Joseph. Surely this is the Knight Riders' game now?

Too much Pollard at the end. SLK should have made 200 plus if not for 49 dot balls need to reflect on that.

as soon as Polly came in he had to bring back Alzharri

that was the only chance if any

10:42pm A thrilling run-chase, headlined by Pollard, who wound back the clock and showed he's still got it. When he walked in to bat, the Knight Riders needed 65 off 40. They then needed 27 off 12 but Pollard barely batted an eye-lid. He picked his match-up, targeted the penultimate over and tore into Forde. Prior to that, Parris had enhanced an already burgeoning reputation, racing away to a 20-ball fifty that set the tone nicely for the visitors.


An indifferent outing with the ball for the Kings. They were good in patches but lacked the consistency to apply pressure. Their returns, especially in the first half of the TKR innings, were not great either and their response to Pollard taking them down was also not as swift or decisive as they would have wanted. Descarte, though, did pull through quite nicely and that, along with Noor's two-wicket haul, were perhaps bright spots in their bowling display.

Yes Polly, dey have no damn respeck

Afeef: "Pollard did what he has been doing for over a decade. Always enjoy watching him at his best like this."

Kieron Pollard, the Trinbago Knight Riders is also the Player of the Match: (On the celebration) For someone who has played for the West Indies, captained them (the West Indies) and played a lot in St Lucia, for them to boo…Young Shaq (Parris), showing his worth from the first ball he faced, he set the tempo. He did not have a great day in the field. Everyone has roles and responsibilities, and if my role is to finish games, that is what I have to do. Love seeing the young guys (contribute). We continue to do that and until I call it quits, I'd like to do that (give opportunities to the youngsters).
