it looking hilarious and stupid. They could have used a CGI crowd animation package instead of unmoving cardboard cutouts that any viewer would immediately see through. I mean, since they went through all that in the first place.

This afghan bowler have a real suspect action

I miss that whole first game

I should have listened to Ian, oui.

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » August 18th, 2020, 9:32 pm

Now taking the last couple overs of the Patriots game.

I see they are using the same never see come see umpires from last year. Already, I spotted some decisions that are very questionnable with respect to the non-calling of no balls.

Joshua DeSilva needs some guidance on how to properly bat in a T-20.

his bowling action was in violation of the allowed arm angle so he had to fix it but it seems like old habits die hard

Tallawahs vs Zouks this morning - Tallawahs won the toss and will bowl first

Dizzy28 · Postby **Dizzy28** » August 20th, 2020, 10:25 am

Tridents Vs Zouks this morning.

On a related note...I assumed they would have been rotating the use of the QPO and BLCA to try and mitigate pitch fatigue. This is even more important for the BLCA which is a low scoring pitch with low/variable bounce and lots of turn even when new.
But today is now the 3rd consecutive day of double header cricket at the BLCA.

Pressure batting 2nd on that wicket^

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » August 20th, 2020, 2:02 pm

Evening game wash out for sure.

(I hope Bishop doh shame me again).

Dizzy28 · Postby **Dizzy28** » August 20th, 2020, 2:13 pm

Zouks win in that 5 overs allocated to them. This evening might see a short game on both sides if the weather continue to play up

Who does mute the tv when Ganga talking?

When will Bravo realize he is a very overrated bowler?

I have to stop trying to be a seerman like you. The drainage at the Bl stadium must be extremely good.

I think every rational person mutes their tv when Ganga comes on.

Bravo is full of himself but 499 T-20 wickets is nothing to scoff at. So he is a little bit entitled.

Dizzy28 · Postby **Dizzy28** » August 21st, 2020, 8:40 am

Been watching some of the highlights for those matches on Youtube. Fcukign worst. Jumping from over 13 to over 20...like wtf man!!!!!!

The CPL needs to have their media ppl look at CA and ECB's Youtube channels.

Just be thankful is not Tino Best commentating. They probably used up all the money to pay Tom Moody so couldn't afford to bring anyone else.

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » August 22nd, 2020, 8:32 pm

I don't understand why the CPl keeps recycling the same waste of time umpires every year.

Their decisions are really killing the tournament especially as there is no review of umpiring decisions.

One day CPL will wake up to a riot or zero interest if they continue with those umpires.

They need to pay less $ to Moody et al and put it towards DRS, Snicko, Hot Spot etc etc

Looks like the bubble doesn't apply to ppl resident in TT. Maybe they made that decision a couple months ago, when we didn't have community spread?? Either way, it seems nonsensical now. Darren Sammy highlighted it before the tournament started, but doesn't seem like anything has changed.
