Will you be going?

Sure Mike! In fact I was very instrumental on the CPL here as well. I am going to give you a hint discretely. Something went drastically wrong or unprofessional during the finals with Trident vs Amazon. What can I say? Pollard is a cunning bloke!

[mikesiva]

Anything to do with this?

There were great crowds at Basseterre during the CPL, and I watched most of it on BT Sport. Were you the guy dancing with the vibrating chest?

Pollard issue was just one of many. Without calling names I must say that I was privileged to speak with key personnel at the game. Let's just say that the third umpire lapsed in decision making when he failed to shorten the match even while Barbados were batting. Furthermore he and the Barbados officials were constantly soliciting D/L situations.

I conclude that the third ump erred and Pollard took advantage of this blunder and played according to the d/l requirements which he had stacked away in his pocket. Notice he kept on bowling his medium pacers deliberately slowing down the over rate.

NOTE: Samuel Badree is injured and unavailable for selection

I sometimes wonder what's the point of domestic competitions like the CPL if the selectors are going to ignore them?

Miller outperformed Benn in the CPL, but Benn gets the pick....

The non-performing Sammy is retained as captain....

No Lewis, no Samuels, no Cooper, no Rampaul...it's a different regime, but same old shyte.
