picks the googly and lifts it over long-on. Six to end the game, but the Patriots take it by 33 runs.
Patriots vs Stars, 10th Match at Gros Islet, Aug 12 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's all we have for you. Jump over to the second match today and catch up with what Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Tridents are up to.
"I have to say, Evin batted well, it was a very very good wicket, and we did a fantastic performance with the ball as well,"Chris Gayle says, "[What's changed for the Patriots?] I've brought a bit of respect as Universe Boss. Teams are playing more attention to us now. But its a great bunch of guys, and hopefully we can keep the momentum going"
"We didn't play to the best of our ability, not done that all tournament, But that's cricket. The players we have in the dressing room are what we can select from and as a captain I won't stop believing. We just need one win and most definitely we'd like it to be tomorrow," Darren Sammy says, "We all know where we went wrong. We've not been able to restrict teams when we bowl first and we mess up the chase by losing too many wickets up front. We play right away tomorrow, so hopefully that can help"
"Just went back to the drawing board, kept working, kept training and came out today feeling positive," says Evin Lewis the Man of the Match. "Captaincy's been a big change - Chris is a great guy, he's been leading us very well this season. Want to capitalise and keep scoring runs. It won't happen everyday, but once I get a start, I want to convert it"
8.45 pm Chris Gayle switched franchises ahead of this season and now sits pretty with three wins in three games. He owes this one to Evin Lewis' 92, and his bowling attack, because 197 was not insurmountable on this pitch. Just look at Mohammed Nabi's figures: 4-0-15-3. Hafeez as well, picking 3 for 22. The offspinners broke the chase and confirmed St Lucia Stars' fourth loss in four games.
launches a length ball to long-on
short ball, skews off the toe-end past the backtracking point and short third man
mis-hit sails over cover! He is looking to smash this length ball down the ground, but the bat face opens on impact and it clears the boundary still
goes for the slog sweep to a full delivery on leg stump. Struck on the pads, but umpire Cloete drowns the appeal because he thinks it would be sliding down leg. Did straighten though
tosses it up on leg stump, Cornwall hits it to long-on
Stars need an impossible 50 off 6 balls. And here's Badree
slower ball, and Cornwall is through with his flick over midwicket too early. The ball hits his thigh before rolling through to third man
short ball, swings hard, mistimes the pull to deep midwicket
outside edge as he tries to slap a full delivery outside off over cover. Sails to the third man boundary
low full toss on middle, Cornwall pushes to mid-off
another yorker, just outside off, Shillingford, the new batsman, keeps it out off an inside edge onto pad
full, straight, bowled. McClenaghan backs away, trying to flick, fails spectacularly
sweeps again, he misses it altogether this time, but is alert enough to pinch the leg bye
top-edge again off the slog sweep, and this time the ball lands in front of square leg and midwicket running in from the boundary
dropped by Brathwaite running in from long-on. McClenaghan begins his innings with a slog. But the pace on the ball is slow and he is through the shot too early. Leading edge wanders down the ground, Brathwaite races in, but overruns the ball and has to lean back, to his left. That's a terrible position to be in because you're reversing momentum in an instant.
he's stumped! Beautiful work from the combination of Nabi and Thomas. One brings the batsman out of his crease and beats him on the inside edge, the other collects the ball cleanly and breaks the stumps
goes for the slog sweep, but he's beaten between the inside edge and his back thigh. Thomas collects it well and takes the bails out. Asks about the stumping, but Mayers, after his back foot had been on the line, pushes it back just in time
lifts it towards the boundary at cow corner, but Lewis, running and diving to his right, stops the boundary
what a strike! Screams to the midwicket boundary flat and hard. Cornwall is a big man, so do not, do not let him get under the ball. Hasan doesn't pay attention to that and bowls short and wide. He pays for it
full and outside off, drills it to long-off
