Tridents starting to real disappoint............either that or CPL mafia

Still not too sure why TKR playing Searles in front of Cooper.
Is it politics at play again that they don't want all the WI players on TKR to be Trindadians.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Agreed^ I doh really see the worth of searles

India looking at a series defeat

[hydroep]

SLS won their final game against BT. Looks like they have good chance of not finishing last...

[fokhan_96]

Is amazing how Tino Best does talk as though he is/was some big time cricketer. Smh

[hydroep]

What's with the player numbering scheme boi?...ah see Gayle wearing 333...

[hydroep]

Ok, top 4 teams have qualified for the playoffs, only thing left to determine is the top two finishers each of whom will have two chances to make it to the finals.

It'll be kinda hard for BT going into their final two matches knowing they have no chance of advancing to the next round — but at least they can play spoiler.

I think the numbering has to do with something good each player may have done...Gayle's 333 is his highest test score

That's cool man, it honours the players and adds character to the game...

Cook has called time on his career. 33 years old and England's record scorer in test cricket. I always thought he would have broken Tendulkar's overall aggregate.

Sad really. Just this week his own Batting coach Gooch said he has no clue what is going on with Cook.
People were hoping for a Gooch like ending though where Gooch had a career average of 42 however averaged 50 in his final 5 years and scored 12 of his twenty centuries in that time as well.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

so if he finds some form in the last test, wah going on deh...lol

wrt India, they have nothing close to Dhoni...Pant very young and Kartik struggling....hence the reason for the series loss

India's series loss is much more than their wicketkeeper. Its the fact that apart from Kohli none of the other specialist batsmen scoring runs of note (Pujara's sole hundred aside). Rahul, Rahane, Dhawan have all struggled whilst Pandya has not performed as a batsman in the all rounder's role.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

India have a big series down under year end...after england, windies paying them a visit

[hydroep]

Top of the table clash in a few between TKR and GAW. TKR all the way...

Hopefully tkr aint peak to early

[Premchand1976]

Hopefully tkr aint peak to early

This indeed. What I like about this year's tournament is they have had to work for their wins. It wasn't by luck or chance and because the opposing batsmen threw their wickets away.TKR bowlers ( except bravo and Gabriel have been consistently hitting the wicket taking spots )

All things aside, they're playing good cricket the last few games and hopefully continue till next weekend THEN run out of steam.

Jamaica and Patriots gonna come with guns blazing too......so they hadda be on their best games going forward.
