Man, Beaton looks really good when he hits that good length. ..catching the batsman on two minds. The pace is impressive from this guy

Don't know if I've ever seen an innings as slow as Carter's in T20 cricket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Somehow this match is evenly poised...can't imagine this happening

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a top catch from Brandon King.

Great game, this.

Excellent tournament, I really enjoyed it. It was great to see a lot of youngsters getting a chance this year. My highlight was the fast bowling on display.

Ronsford Beaton 152kph
Oshane Thomas 151kph
Odean Smith 149kph
Sheldon Cotterel 148kph
Jerome Taylor 146kph

It's important those top 3 get playing FC cricket, alongside Reynard Leveridge who I suspect is the fastest of the lot. Jamaica could and should have an insanely quick attack this year.

Wow, it would have to be a good couple of years since Taylor was last up in the mid 140's. I too was impressed by a few of the young pacers on display though.

He is still pretty quick in short bursts but he can't sustain it for very long. I reckon in FC cricket he would be back in the 130s.

Couldnt locate a 2018 thread, but that was some performance from Dre Russ today.

A hatty and 121* not out off 49 inc 13 6s. Wow

Unbelievable! I stopped watching when they were 41-5 chasing 223. I'm going to have to find some highlights.

Next level beast mode from Russell. Dude is unreal. 13 sixes.

I had to come back to post about this

41-5 off 6.1 chasing 224

183 to win off 13.5...asking rate over 13..the Trinidad bowling attack is good too ..this for me is the greatest ever innings in domestic t20 chasing

he took a hat-trick too with the ball..and took a catch..all whilst being captain..greatest ever domestic individual t20 performance for me possibly

 

[Jack1]

Brutal.

Clearly the Verve were wrong.

Looks like Warner fell to an all time bad umpiring decision against Guyana. Not only was it missing off, it hit his gloves rather than his pads.

Also looks like Lamichhane exploited Lynn's weakness very well in the ongoing game.

How was Brathwaite not MOTM in today's game?

Thomas did well with his 58 (34), but Brathwaite got 41 (15) with five sixes, then 4-1-19-2.

 

[Starfighter]

Is T&T going to be one of these theoretically strong lineups that consistently underperforms like the Melbourne Stars?

I'm assuming Thomas got it as Brathwaite has had big money in the IPL already and the glory of the WC win bashing Stokes in the last over. Thomas is a career pro. In that sense it's probably a sensible decision. I understand that's slightly controversial. But as anchored the innings at a decent lick in the game context (SR) I suppose they decided to let him have it.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Interesting to see Shai Hope finding another gear, I always largely thought of him as an elegant but fairly traditional batsman

 

[_Ed_]

Steve Smith seemed to struggle a bit in his 41 (37).

Yeah, hit a couple of nice boundaries but looked fairly streaky for a lot of it
