Caribbean Premier League 2017

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hilarious first over from Primus.

One of the easiest catch you can get.

Rashid Khan is bowling sensationally here. Great to watch.

2-9 from his four, with countless play and misses. Superb.

t20 batting tactics

What do you guys think about these tactics and who could play this role from the CPL teams?

Are the all Caribbean Premier League teams based on the West Indies countries/regions?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

^ yes sir... but some of the owners aren't.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Come on Amazon Warriors, let's win this one...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Pakistani players have left for camp in Pakistan.

Good chance for Guyana to win this one

Must've been a pretty astounding average speed from off the blade to hitting the inner ring there....

Try not to kill anybody as you get further out of your teens and hit maximum power.

I met a young WI guy the other day (26) who is incredibly knowledgeable about cricket and follows WI players religiously, but only in T20s, incl. CPL. He had no interest in tests and sees no future for them given state of CWI. Quite enlightening and makes me realise what bubbles we live in if from Aus, Eng and India.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

^^ I'm younger than him and I follow my team in all formats. Test cricket is my favorite.

McCullum having a bit of fun again.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Highest score this CPL:208

 

[_Ed_]

Aw, Phillips. But that's a great stumping.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sanga and his grace. This guy is like the da Vinci of cricket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sanga with another fifty, in this run chase... still a long way to go.

Frylinck has been pretty impressive - unlucky not to have had any opportunities for SA?

That's hardly surprising. The test team has been rolled over and rooted for almost a generation. If they start winning again, the interest will come back.

Because of the test tour in England I haven't been paying this years CPL tournament too much attention unless I know a young cricketer I've got an eye on is playing. Last night was truly eye-opening as I saw Oshane Thomas bowl for the first time.

I had come across him before the last Under 19 WC. It was said he was a yard quicker than Alzarri Joseph but without the control so he didn't make the final 15. Last night he was bowling 150kph outswingers with a lovely clean action. He's tall as well so gets good bounce. He got Gayle out lbw with an inswinger 3rd ball after troubling him with the short ball. What an unbelievable prospect! Get that man into FC cricket ASAP.

Had to go find footage of this guy. Technically I can see where he'd struggle - he drops his front arm a bit early and lets his right shoulder do the work, but he looks immensely strong and already has loads of pace.

Speaking of guys who started off quick, how's Ronsford Beaton going currently?

There's some novelty in seeing Mohammad Sami bowl these days.
