Champions League T20- Cricket

[civic minded]

ok what does this means? we out?? or we still have a chance?

[hydroep]

We have a mathematical chance of making it. We need to win our remaining two matches and hope that the teams at the top of the table falter.

[323tuner]

Ravi Rampaul has been hit for 34 runs off of 2 overs (his last & the super over) which most likely has ended T&T chances of progressing in this competition, good try from L. Simmons but in the end 19 runs of 6 balls in this super over was just to much!

[rfari]

ganga nah think straight since he tek that money from tstt nah. ohhh geez

C.S.k would be another very interesting game,you think they should try and experiment with Perkins or Emrit for these games??

[Cooper]

This was really disappointing. Have to keep your fingers crossed hoping the top order teams really do some dodo.

[323tuner]

T&T needs a closer, someone who can finish the game with that killer instinct either with bat or ball, I wonder what difference would the inclusion of K. Pollard or Dwanye Bravo would of made.

[sharkman121]

Really wouldnt help wondering that now cuz they aint there. When is our next game?

It depends on what the thinking is. If management has thrown in the towel, they could experiment with whomever they want.

If they're still hoping to qualify, I'd stick with the present formula, simply because we've played well for the majority of both matches thus far with it. We've only lost (IMO) because of questionable tactics at the end.

If you look at this match our spinners took more wickets and had better economy on average. After Ravi was slaughtered in over #20, perhaps it would've made sense to go with one of the those fellas instead. Even Cooper who only took one wicket and was the best of the bowlers in terms of economy may have been a better choice.

One thing's for certain, it's very unlikely we'll qualify from here.

Do you think Ravi would use his injury as an excuse?? Also would you have chosen him to bowl the super over considering the over before?? I would have gone with Badree.

[Cid]

badree would have gone for 18 first ball.........

rampaul was a good choice....sometimes these things happen yes..

[hydroep]

shakes, there's no reason to believe that Ravi would use this alleged injury as an excuse. Those fellas usually admit when they've done crap.

Based on the stats if I had to choose a spinner I would have gone with Sherwin. He took the most wickets and had the same economy rate as Badree.

^^ asked because before the presentation of awards you heard Tom Moody making that comment in the background.I still disagree with the tactics he used during that over,staying around the wicket when clearly he was getting no where only boundaries,he could have at least tried over the wicket,changing the angle to the batsman for at least one delivery.

[hydroep]

^Agreed, but more than him, I blame the tacticians for putting him to bowl that super over.

It was clear from over #20 that he was in difficulty...bowling the same way over and over but expecting a different result.

That should have been a clue to Ganga and others to try someone else.

At the end of the day, we are Trinbagonians and rest assured if they had used someone else and that person had gotten slapped all over the field we would be here debating why they didn't give Rampaul another chance...

take win

[hydroep]

It's ironic that Dwayne Bravo has just saved the Chennai Super Kings, which in turn has made our chances better by keeping the Cape Cobras at 2 points.

[*$kїđž!™]

had a co worker on the brink of tears,,,i was like wtf.....tears for a cricket game.......those guys already made their millions...i surely ent wasting tears over them......

[JBL]

why allyuh blaming rampaul?? yall didnt see the field ganga set for him?? stewpzzzzzzzzzz.... he left no margin for error for rampaul... he put rampaul under unnecessary pressure.. dont blame rampaul... blame darren ganga for that sh!t!! the same field he set for sherwin in the 19th over.. iz de same field he suppose to set in the 20th.. poooooor captaincy!

[*$kїđž!™]

so ganga sell out?

[sliderz1]

T&T gave away too many runs

........ we good as gone meng

[Dizzy28]

So Pollard just helped himself to 58 from 37 balls with 6 4s and 3 6s. Trinidad and Tobago are a bit poorer without him and Bravo, who showed his worth yesterday but still we put up some competitive showings thus far.

not competitive enough im afraid.....


when is our next game?

[hydroep]

^Next match for T&T is on Sunday against the Chennai Super Kings.

Today's match between Mumbai Indians and Cape Cobras was rained out so each team gets 1 point (another "favourable" result for T&T). The points table now looks like this:
