9.35pm Sohail Tanvir. Without his blitz, Guyana would've lost tonight. Ronchi and Mohammed played useful knocks indeed, but if the left-hander from Pakistan didn't come to the party, then it was Patriots' game tonight. Cottrell was expensive, and so was Cutting, so it's back to the drawing board for the hosts. The Patriots were about ten runs short today, and that has come back to bite them. Stand-in captain Emrit is delighted and so is Green and Tanvir.
Poor presence of mind from Devcich. could've picked out either end. in that case, easiest to throw for the keeper's end since he has the gloves and is naturally coming to the stumps to back up a throw. much harder for the bowler to get back to the non-striker's stumps.

Peter Della Penna: "All the great catching by Cutting is being counterbalanced by some horrendous efforts from his Patriots teammates. Mahmudullah and Devcich spin themselves in circles and never get their hands to two of the easiest chances of the night. Could cost them in the end."
