TKR should have won with that DL target

Isn't there a hint of...

hoss i see tkr chase 86 in 5.2 overs, 60 runs in 5 overs was nothing, absolutely nothing. even powell said the royals were very fortunate

In reply to TanteMerle

Pollard made the right bowling calls imho

Jordan is a known finisher
Narine is Narine

that last over as given to Hinds based on his ability to bowl in tough situations

Hosein a first over possibly but then if he was launched by left-hander deKock Polllard would not have heard the end of it forever

Miller's hitting was clean and Narine erred a bit with his length and line - which is a surprise

In reply to doosra

Even though I didn’t see the Royals inning, I always felt that Narine should be attacked whenever there is little or no lateral movement.

In reply to StumpCam

he was returning from a niggle as well so dunno if that had any to do

Put it out there - What should a fair ask of been of the Royals to make with 10 wickets in hand and 5 overs? Give us a number.

The Royals were fortunate that the TKR batted slow with an in form and established batsman at one end and that the match was not a no result which would have sent TKR thru.

my issue isn't the score. its the two hour postponement and the subsequent loss of overs due to faulty equipment. i do not think i have ever seen that happen in a knockout game anywhere in cricket. totally unacceptable

Let's see what happens to warriors , then I will remember that line...

In reply to Jumpstart



Then why did you complain the score was easy to achieve with 10 wickets in hand and then tell a story about how the TKR made this in that?

Your issue is the outcome because of the score. You rather not put another score out there as to what you think the ask should have been.

In reply to Jumpstart



This is the only true thing you have said. It was amateur hour and indeed unacceptable.

But your first post in the wake of the loss was to call it "unfair". You cannot walk that back.

In reply to nick2020

because it was easy to achieve in 5 overs. once the game went down to 5 overs, it was barbados' game to lose

In reply to Narper


Good to see you back man

It was a bad year for TKR.The team wasn't good. Time to regroup

In reply to nick2020

TKR was playing some of their best cricket this year homes. That Kings beat us, SL Kings played a good game, I think TKR was complacent, but kings played very well. We definitely underestimated Antigua especially with Amir in their team. but Pooran was having his best cpl season, so was hinds and the the guys from St Maarten were a revelation. TKR played better this year than they played in the last 3 cpl editions, the three losses aside. I don’t know which team you were watching

In reply to Narper

The weakest cricket team at test level would have mane those runs under the same conditions,even against the strongest team.

the only dude in cricket who would not have taken 60-5 overs is Kraigg and only because he knows he can't get the ball past the square on a consistent basis
