CPL Lickit - Barbados Royals v St Lucia Kings

In reply to doosra

They removed all the grass from the pitch... don't know who idea that was.

For the WC and the test match the pitch had some grass on it.

Looks like they gone backward again.. it wasn't like this in the last CPL either.

Sammy dem change the pitch at halftime?

SLK cruise into the playoffs with a clinical and comprehensive defeat of the Royals! Also move into 2nd place. These two teams play again on Monday at the same venue.

Voicy , that's a beatdong of epic proportions

Alzarri Joseph, Player of the Match: We knew that it was going to be a low-scoring wicket and for me, it was about bowling straight. Some are going to bounce, some are going to keep low - if you bowl at the stumps, you are in the game. (On the de Kock wicket) I wanted to use the angle from around the wicket and attack the stumps.


1:05pm A place in the playoffs was at stake for the Kings and they have done it in the most clinical manner possible. Their bowlers set things up before their captain arrived with intent in the powerplay, finding the fence regularly enough and breaking the back of the run-chase. Chase then ensured there were no further hiccups and hit the winnings runs, with Seifert also popping up with a neat, little cameo.

An off-day and a day to forget for the Royals, who will likely look at this as an aberration. They did not have many runs to play with and they could not extract as much assistance off the surface as their St Lucian counterparts. They will have to go back to the drawing board and pick themselves back up because, well, they play this opposition not long from now. Again.

Chase is oneof the few wi batsmen who can play both spin and pace and it showed today on a tricky pitch

Their batting revolves around De Kock. Get him early and you in the bizniz!
