Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Lucia Kings

...

Hajji49: "SLK could not have asked for a better start. Even if GAW pull it back now they will definitely still be chasing a very competitive total. Let's hope the lights stay on tonight."

16.1
2
Pretorius to Seifert, 2 runs
Over the wicket, short and some room offered, stands tall and smacks it on the rise to long-on, Gurbaz in action again and makes a tumbling save

16.2
2
Pretorius to Seifert, 2 runs
Bustling in, thumps it on a length wide of off, reaches out and bashes it to long-off; ball deflects off the stumps and they sneak in another run

16.3
2
Pretorius to Seifert, 2 runs
Slower and on a length wide of off, pulls it across the line to midwicket, hustles and bustles for a couple; Warriors have done well to pull things back to some extent after Charles wicket

16.5
4
Pretorius to Seifert, FOUR runs
Banged in short and gives room, gets on top of the bounce and cracks a pull off the backfoot and makes sure to guide it to deep square's left, no one patrolling that region, heaps of spaces there

Moeen Ali to Seifert, OUT
Chips it in the air, has he got all of it? No, he hasn't. Keemo Paul in action again and takes a simpler catch on this occasion, his second of the night. Lunging forward and tries to power it downtown but didn't look in control and got decent elevation, safely caught in the deep

Moeen Ali to Wiese, FOUR runs
Finishes the over on a high! Slightly short and leg-sidish, he smartly shuffles across his stumps and a faint tickle is enough to send it soaring away to the fine leg rope, Moeen with his hands on his head, he knew he made an error there

Pretorius to Chase, FOUR runs
Over the wicket, pace-off length ball wide of off, razes it past sweeper cover for a four, it's not been Pretorius day, he has been very expensive

Has he nicked it? It's been sent upstairs.

Pretorius to Forde, OUT
Has he nicked it? It's been sent upstairs. Was bowled wider and he was reaching out with the hands, playing far away from his body, trying to smash that over cover, there is a clear spike on the ultra-edge as the ball passes the bat and it's safely taken by the keeper. Bowled full and just inside the marker on off, smartly bowled, good recovery from Pretorius in his last over

Leave young Ross alone...

Chase gone! Really needed to do that earlier! Frustrating innings.

In reply to googley
Young Ross screwing up the game Dude. Have to call him out!

190/5 after 19. Forde goes for 1st ball duck!

Final over looks like we will barely get 200 thanks to Roston!

198/5 after 20. Good score but really wanted 220 plus!

198 is a very good score but that could have easily been 220+

In reply to voiceofreason

yep

GAW could have been under bigger pressure

84 in the last 10 overs with all 10 wickets is an average 2nd half

In reply to sgtdjones

Ok hetty seh a masterclass coming up

Tahir's captaincy with the bowling has been too static of late

....

At one stage, when Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis were firing on all cylinders, they seemed set to reach 230 or even more. But credit to Warriors for pulling it back in the last ten overs, as the innings slowed down after Charles's wicket and the introduction of Moeen Ali--who has been in the form of his life this season. Ali conceded only 24 runs and took two vital wickets. Can Guyana chase down this total in front of a packed home crowd and secure a direct entry into the final? We'll find out soon!

Imran is tactically poor
Not aggressive enough

In reply to Narper

ok lets see Hetty.... tonite

In reply to sgtdjones

115-0 after 10 should mean nothing less than 215+

In reply to doosra

Narps say hetty on fire tonite

Slightly fuller with a hint of spin, changes his stance and sends it soaring away to deep backward point for a four; first boundary of the innings, nailed the reverse sweep
