Barbados Tridents v T&T Red Steel | CPL l 3/8/2013 | Commentary & Discussion

[Gotham Cronie]

:umarakmal and in action again tonight looking to make it 3 wins out of 3.

Looking at the Red Steel squad, they probably need a big contribution from Ross Taylor, Kevin O'Brien, or Bravo to stand a chance.

 

[WebGuru]

Red Steel have won the toss and elected to bat first...

 

[waqar goraya]

I wanted to see Umar and Malik bat first

Tridents won previous both matches batting first as the pitch slowed down in the second half

Instead you get to see Umar chirp behind the stumps and Malik bowl

Silly batting my god

 

[cricfan967]

Ros Taylor in, love watching him bat

 

[cricfan967]

Shakib strikes first ball, Ross out plumb

 

[Warrior868]

Re: Barbados Tridents v T&T Red Steel | CPL l 3/8/2013 | Commentary & Discussion

Another thief out again

 

[waqar goraya]

Shocking decision by umpire

 

[cricfan967]

Ball is turning, should be seeing soon, turn on the game folks

 

[Executioner]

Wrong decision, but shakib regained his form, somewhat

 

[waqar goraya]

Another thief out again

At least score something to make it a match

 

[waqar goraya]

Umar talks with him in Urdu .....Shakib knows Urdu?

 

[cricfan967]

Umar talks with him in Urdu .....Shakib knows Urdu?

I heard that too

Cant score when two games on the trot umpires killing us.

 

[Executioner]

Stayed awake to watch this, dissappointed.

 

[cricfan967]

Shakib is jusg killin' em, 5 down.

 

[cricfan967]

Stayed awake to watch this, dissappointed.

Disappointed? Shakib's demoralizing them

 

[waqar goraya]

Warrior868, your team is quite average IMO ...Except Taylor and Senior Bravo there is no one good enough in batting department.

 

[Executioner]

Umar talks with him in Urdu .....Shakib knows Urdu?

bangali kids grew up watching hindi serials with parents, against there will. So we can understand hindi which is similar to urdu

Of course its average they took all our players and put them on other teams. Left with nothing

 

[cricfan967]

Shakib's wrecking them, 6 down.

 

[waqar goraya]

This is not a good game for the people in the stadium and those watching at home.

Barbados people are not celebrating a wicket anymore.

 

[Aman]

Going to be a tame chase
Warrior you need to get some better umpires..

 

[Inswinger]

What a beating.

 

[Aman]

Another one

 

[Executioner]

Disappointed? Shakib's demoralizing them

i wanted to see some exciting cricket. There is nothing like a close encounter

 

[Aman]

3 wicket maiden

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Don't blink, you'll miss a wicket!

 

[waqar goraya]

This huge win will almost confirm semi final berth for Barbados I think.

 

[Warrior868]

Re: Barbados Tridents v T&T Red Steel | CPL l 3/8/2013 | Commentary & Discussion

I give up.

Narine Pollard Emritt Rampaul Simmons Ramdin Perkins Gabriel all missing. Pretty hard to replace them. Plus we got really bad players from the draft.

 

[Inswinger]

Shakib with a Five-for!

 

[coca-cola]

wow shakib is cleaning them up here

 

[Executioner]

4-4, where did this performance go in zim odis? Takes another now

 

[Gotham Cronie]

4-4, where did this performance go in zim odis? Takes another now

5/4!

 

[Gotham Cronie]

6/6!

 

[coca-cola]

six for six!!!

 

[Executioner]

6th wicket for shakib

 

[Aman]

Whats the lowest score in t20 history? Maybe they should promote Pollard up the order and finish it in 2-3 overs..

 

[W63L35]

Shakib-ul-Hasan Tent!!! )

Will Barbados bat straight away or will there still be a break?

 

[waqar goraya]

So, finally 50 up

[Black Zero]

is there a chance of rain...?

 

[WebGuru]

is there a chance of rain...?

Only if Malik was not in this team...

 

[Energetic]

Barbados clearly have the best team with the best foreign players. Can see this team winning it. I like this CPL so far even though it hasn't exactly been a run feast but bowling pitch is also pretty exciting and crowd so live and bubbly.

Also funny that Bangladesh do not prepare much turning pitches for their test matches at home otherwise their dismal test record would've been a lot lot better because they do have very good spinners.

That's the lowest T20I total.

 

[cricfan967]

Horrible advertising of Limacol in commentary

 

[Boi]

20 off first over. )

 

[WebGuru]

That's the lowest T20I total.

Yup i was talking about international T20 not domestic T20...Domestic lowes is 30 as you mentioned by Tripura vs Jharkand

 

[cricfan967]

24-0 after 1.1 ... what the heck

Was Nasir Hossain picked by any team?

yeah i agree. We create flat pitches which works against us. Id rather see our team winning than hacks like Ashraful and that no. 10 guy score useless runs. Pathetic

 

[cricfan967]

Malik nearly edges it to point first up

 

[Boi]

Fidel gets Smith!

 

[cricfan967]

I hope he's out, that would have Malik and Umar both at the wicket

 

[Executioner]

Yes! Can see umar bat now

 

[psyoptica]

haha. I have a feeling this is going to be a close match.

 

[cricfan967]

Malik gone

 

[Executioner]

Malik gone. Now will umar come?

 

[cricfan967]

Umar in

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It will be funny if Barbados loses this, won't be surprised though

 

[WebGuru]

Time to bump malik thread

 

[psyoptica]

exciting match this.
