Might as well give Jason Moh'd/Evin Lewis a try at openin, surely they can't do worse than Perkins

What is wrong with his statement?

The performance of team T&T has been superior to the others in the regional tournament,but when compared with the stds. of the other international teams they would expect to meet in the champs league-a lot of work still needs to be done.
The failure of the opening pair in the last two games,with one not making any effort to play approved shots and the other just seeming to be dis-interested is troubling.
Scores and the general quality of the cricket by the regional teams on display is in stark contrast to what is expected from a region which is the world champs in the T20 format.
Overall,the quality of cricket is embarassing,imagine 125 runs on a batters wicket being viewed as a competitive total and in the first round teams catching tail to get over 100 except for one with no complaints.
Today Barbados vs T&T and based on the B'dos performance thus far,I not really expecting much.

you serious,I would not expect such a comment from any commentator.if you're batting against a bowler who has 5 different deliveries why would you want to take such a risk with a shot like that.why not play defensive or fend of the bowler.

When in doubt, a batsman should play a 'block' shot.
Ganga's commentary litererally put me to sleep in one of the previous games.

But the man is right....you can't defend four overs of Narine or any bowler in a T20. Maybe 50 overs and definately Tests you can waste a few more deliveries.
In a T20 if you not getting the loose deliveries to put away or if the bowler bowling tight you have to find a way to rotate the strike and like he said if you don't know which way the ball turning one of the safest shots is the sweep.
Ganga aside, any good commentator or anybody who has played cricket could/would tell you this.

there are several other shots to play besides that,because there is always the risk of being caught at mid wicket or even getting a leading edge and being caught elsewhere.

Congrats 2 the Windies women for comin frm behind 2 square the ODI series vs SA...well done!

[1UZFE]

about to start. Perkins get dropped replaced with Lewis..

[*$kїđž!™]

What a shame...dwayne smith smartman action to get bravo out........

dont agree with this rule cause the ball was never in play........

[cinco]

if this is out then they should be able to run a dead ball

[shake d livin wake d dead]

heard Bish read out the rule^ rather gay though,but we should win this one with ease.

[BrotherHood]

This match was supposed to be over long ago. Dem playin d ass and stickin to win.

Again, no competition. As Fazeer alluded to during his commentary, this tournament really is a poor advertisement for cricketing talent (or lack thereof) in the region...at least with respect to the T20 tournament.

I understand that the WICB is planning to change the T20 tournament to a club-type competition, similar to the IPL with corporate sponsors and all. The winner of that tournament would then play in the Champions League.

While that would allow greater exposure for some players, it would also mean that national teams would no longer represent the region in the Champions League. This year may very well be the last opportunity for T&T to bring home the trophy.
