opens the face, a four to finish, but it's all rather futile.
Tallawahs vs Patriots, 21st Match at Basseterre, CPL, Sep 08 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
1.40pm So, that'll do for now. Thanks for joining us, from Miller, Alan and Chandan, goodnight!
Dre Rus is Player of the Match "I've had a few games I should have done better, but I will donate this award to the team, and buy some drinks. A total team effort, and there's no I in team. I'm not confident in my batting right now, but I hope we can go from strength to strength and I get my range back. We all represent the West Indies, and after the game we are all friends."
1.35pm Well, that was emphatic. Jamaica never relinquished their grip after posting a healthy 169 for 8. St Kitts are falling away dramatically after a flying start to their campaign.
Mossy: "Patriots won 5 in a row, then lost 3 in a row. It makes the table interesting but they won't want to finish poorly. If Barbados has a strong finish, this table can flip 180."
pushed hard into the covers, chance of a run-out with a clean throw... but that bobbles wildly past the base of the stumps. Robbed!
high elbow, pumped into the covers
Sheldon Smith: "Looking at the points table and the remaining games it seems that JT and GAW will be fighting for 4th place. With one of them not making the playoffs"
flashed high into the covers, this time Dre Rus makes no mistake!
rocking back for a chop up into the covers, nearly a collision in the deep as two men fight over the catch, and the ball wriggles through them both!
... it is now...
falls inside the line for a ramp, misses
31 off six... it's not impossible...
full again, in the arc for a bash to cover
good line, very full across the right-hander from round the wicket, no contact on the slashing drive
misdirected
We are nearly done here
Ahsan Butt: "No way Fabian Allen is not making it to the WC!" Fair
fires in the full toss, across the bows, chopped onto the stumps! That's one way to end the resistance. Allen gives himself room for another hack, and drags on with an under-edge
full length, bashed to long-off
Carted with the angle, high over extra cover! That is a smokin' stroke! Every little helps!
round the wicket, fired outside the off stump, no stroke
Right, two overs to go. It's outlandish. But it's distantly feasible
up on the toes, swivelling into a pull, can't connect
in the slot again, but extra nip on the full length this time, an air shot from Allen
huge! In the slot, clean over the bowler's hit! In the slot and utterly launched!
Sheldon Smith: "TKR got 63 off of the last 3 a few games ago and 49 off the last 2 So this is gettable" I'm not feeling it... but yes, anything can happen! I was there in Kolkata after all...
full toss, clubbed to deep midwicket. Another nail in the coffin. Misses the yorker, but bags the big wicket
very full, hacked to the off side
back of a length, tight line, nudged to midwicket
