TKR vs Chicken Curry Warriors in POS...

...

ICYMI, Moeen retired from internationals a fortnight ago once he was not considered for the England v Australia T20Is

Narine to Moeen Ali, 2 runs
lucky streak! Full ball around off and Moeen tries the sweep. Top edge over Bravo at first slip earns Moeen a couple

6 dong

Narine to Moeen Ali, OUT
full ball around off and angling into off. Moeen presses forward to defend but it hits his pad before rolling away to point. Moeen wants to take a single but he is sent back, and is he run out? Salamkheil at point was slow to release the ball but once he did, Pooran acrobatically got the ball to hit the stumps

Moeen Ali run out (Waqar Salamkheil/†Pooran) 11 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100

Guyana Amazon Warriors...(11.4/20 ov) 75/6

7 dong

Narine to Motie, OUT

Two balls later, Motie has to go! Narine returns to bowl around the wicket, and he releases the knuckle ball that lands on a fullish length outside off before zipping in. Motie leaves enough gap between bat and body trying to reach forward to defend, that's enough for Narine's delivery to zip through and rattle the stumps

Gudakesh Motie b Narine 5 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100


Guyana Amazon Warriors...(12/20 ov) 76/7

Hajji49: "Re survey on the best all rounder ever, agreed that Bravo is up there, but both Pollard and Dre Russ on the field with him tonight have been equally " great" ... Don't think that Bravo has produced enough match changing performances with the bat to be a clear winner."

Pranali: "Is it true that the changeups are so called because you can change -into new clothes and pad- up and still the ball will not have arrived?"

Hinds to Shepherd, SIX runs
another one! Full ball just outside off and Shepherd hammers a lofted six over the bowler's head! Much more convincing. One brings two...
15.5
6
Hinds to Shepherd, SIX runs
just over deep midwicket! Short of good length ball around off and Romario hangs back in his crease before bringing the pull shot out of the bag. Paris in the deep was a few metres inside, and you wonder if Shepherd would've been out had he stayed on the boundary line. Maybe, maybe not! Team hundred

...8.50pm A 49-ball partnership of 72 between these two have lifted Amazon Warriors to a total where their bowlers could have an impact. Just Shepherd's second CPL fifty but dare I say his better of the two.
Amazon Warriors held Shepherd and Pretorius back till the spinners were mostly done with their spells, and the strategy has paid off in the sense that they've reached a total of nearly 150. Before that, though, Narine, Salamkheil, Bravo and Hosein had spun a web around the Amazon Warriors top order to leave them reeling at 76/7.

Guyana Amazon Warriors....(20 ov) 148/7

Shepherd: "We've got a fighting total. It is a small total, don't think it is a 148 wicket, but we've got some runs on the board."

In reply to sgtdjones

have to respect Sheppy and the Pretorian Soldier fight back.

that was a good effort to make a game out o the slaughteration

In reply to powen001

Yes a surprised total in the end...
TKR allowed to many runs at the end....
It can be critical in this game...

Welcome back to the chase. GAW need early wickets. Pretorius will kick us off


Pretorius to Narine, SIX runs
Here We Go! Narine is off and running. Pretorius lands a length ball on middle, and Narine swings across the line. Sends it into the party stand

Pretorius to Narine, no run
full ball, slower ball, lands around leg. Narine swings across the line and misses. LBW appeal turned down. He discusses with Hope about a potential review. And they take it.
Nope, pitching outside leg.

Why was the pinch hitter blocking ????
Stewwwwps

More often than not this CPL, NOTHING is gained from Narine opening!

In reply to Halliwell

Moen Ali is getting some serious spin on this ball...

I dare say I aint accustomed to see him get this much movement in recent times

Hey old timer ...
You had a power nap and just woke up huh?...2am...
