They had one game today at 11am to catch the Indian English Audience. Seifert showed up. Normally there is a double- header in the night? TKR playing tomorrow in the day time too.

Republic Bank is the title sponsor so observance for T&T Independence is probably the reason.

Also tomorrow is the Labor Day holiday in the U.S. so maybe trying to tap into viewership in that market!!!

Once again I hope you all understand Franchise cricket is not real it’s just entertainment!!!

What an odd statement to make

That’s like saying EPL, La Liga, Champions League football etc are not real, just entertainment.

So other forms of cricket are NOT entertainment?

Yea I guess it is an odd statement lol

But on the other hand Wrestling isn’t real but it’s certainly entertainment!!!

There’s so much match fixing and betting in cricket it’s lost its charm to a certain extent!!!

You think Oshane bowling an umpteen amount on No-Balls in an over is just coincidence???

I can almost guarantee GAW will win the trophy this year because it’s their last year hosting the Final consecutively!!!

You think Oshane bowling an umpteen amount on No-Balls in an over or Imad Wasim first ball of the game being a no ball is just coincidence???

I certainly don’t think it’s intentional.

Unlike “traditional” cricket, where you can bowl a ball 2 feet outside the off stump or leg stump and NOT be penalized, as you are in white ball cricket even if it’s marginally outside the leg stump.

White ball cricket demands control and no little skill from bowlers.

Use another example than Oshane Thomas bowling wides to make yuh point bro.

You lost all credibility with this gem! Oshame been bowling no-balls since Methuselah was in diapers!!!

CPL is not Wrestling! Yes its for real!

Also betting has not just taken over cricket but all sports!

A good guess is, they moved rhe game for Sunday night to today, as you recall there usually are no games on Monday, to facility the same TV audience as Sunday morning.

I am glad, as I go through withdrawal symptoms on Mondays.
