00:00You
00:30Fast cricket continues around the cricketing globe and here we are this time 700 kilometers
00:40south Miami to the Cayman Islands. We're going to be in Georgetown for what should be a fascinating
00:47and we are set for three games today. Match one it is going to be the Strikers,
00:51the New York Strikers with the Caribbean Tigers.
00:53As we look at the teams, Abbey. Yeah look at that Caribbean Tigers,
01:01a quite strong side George Munsey leading and he's been in great nick in the GD20 has
01:06bring that form to the surface a bit different service then you've got Ashley Nurse, they've
01:10got Soranga Lakmo, some really big names in that Caribbean Tigers list. Just look at the
01:16Strikers from New York, Colin Munro, he's always someone who loves playing this format of the game
01:21and Louis Wicker keep also a top order aggressive batsman, Tessera Pereira,
01:25captain all-rounder, hits a ball an absolute mile as does Carlos Brathwaite,
01:29but he'll be very handy with his big seamers as well from about 7'13", Brandon McMullen
01:35and Azuru Undana. So a couple of nice teams on show in the very first game.
01:43At the max 60 you've got 60 balls, the strike rate you need to look very keep a very close
01:48eye on your strike rate as a batter in this format. Here we go the first ball of the max 60
01:56Caribbean cricket. Now that's down the ground and that's been hit very well on that six runs.
02:18Sliding leg side or is it adjacent? It's adjacent, up goes that fingers, that's a great comeback.
02:28Let's talk about the skill, again wonderful execution, perfect Yorker, probably hitting
02:36leg stump, good decision by the umpire. Josh Brown out for 7 of 4, 8 for 1 after the first over.
02:45Cameron Hemp now.
02:48Slow delivery and it's in the slot and that's hammered, one bounce, four runs.
02:58Short of that time and that's back-to-back boundaries, that's a big one the second one
03:02that's gone for six, what a fine shot that is. Big did nice, he was slightly short on that occasion.
03:10That's a little bit short and that's been hammered and that's gone, that's a beautiful shot.
03:21That's short, a little bit quicker though, didn't bounce too much,
03:24it might have beaten the field, it has done.
03:31That's nicely picked up into a vacant area and that's just the one bounce and that's gone for
03:35four as well.
03:39Slightly slower but fuller and that's four more.
03:48Backing away and out, that's a good catch, that's nicely taken.
03:55It was short and it was sharp from Hemp.
03:58That's again very nicely timed but lovely catch, timed his jump to perfection.
04:05You feel he's done his job, 24 of 10 striking at 240, 43 for 2 Tigers.
04:16This one should be taken and an easy catch in the end, that's the third wicket down.
04:20Important that they just keep taking wickets, just see that perhaps
04:32it's closed the face of the bat, Cesaro-Pereira will not drop that.
04:40A good wicket for Owen, Perth goes for 13, slow 13 from 12, it's 52 for 3.
04:50Well Munsey wants to join the party but does not get enough of this one.
04:56Another catch taken and Owen, well he's got his third.
05:02The Tigers under immense pressure, pace off, you can just see pace off and hence why he's through
05:09his shot, loses the grip one hand and Matiola takes quite a good catch. Munsey goes for seven,
05:19Tigers in trouble, 53 for 4.
05:25Well he gets a lot of that one nurse, in fact gets all of it and that's six.
05:34Well tries to get cute and it gets past Carlos Brathwaite as well and finds its way.
05:44Doesn't get all of that one but gets enough.
05:49And he's gone through him, off the inner portion of the bat and that nurse cameo comes to an end.
05:58He has the wicket of nurse, again it looks like it's pace off, into the surface,
06:06a little inside edge and gets rid of the dangerous nurse.
06:1016 from 9 for Ashley Nurse.
06:20And he's greeted with a slap, hello and goodbye, that's six.
06:28And the man at cover comes into play, takes an easy catch, he loves it and they love it as well.
06:34Take a look at the end of Hobson, it's lucky because if it had left it would have been a wide,
06:38he has set his field there, it was a good catch.
06:43And Hobson gone for eight, 79 for six.
06:51Well this is big, this is far and this is out of the ground.
07:05Has he got it enough? No he hasn't, the safe buckets of Carlos Brathwaite takes it.
07:13You just see he's going wide and saying to Lease if you want to try and hit me,
07:18then get it over big Carlos. Lease goes for six, just that one shot, it's 89 for seven.
07:30Well that one's into the pocket, into the hole and into the boundary.
07:34Well he could end it with a wicket and he does, avoids the boundary rope.
07:45Pace off again into the surface, I think you'll see a lot of the bowlers doing this throughout
07:50the games here this week, couldn't get it up and over. Neydu who just falls inside the cushioning,
07:59good way to finish off the innings, 10 overs done for the Tigers, 101 for eight.
08:06102 is what the New York Strikers will need in those 60 balls to take the first win here.
08:18Now that's it very high indeed, this will be a very good catch if it's taken,
08:22it is a catch, that is a good grab.
08:25Fantastic skills from Curry and it tells you about the research that goes into this,
08:28because he always knew that he was going towards that leg side, Lease settled under it.
08:37He's got to go, just one from two, it's three for one.
08:45Now that's gone high as well, is this going to be a second? It should be a second,
08:49Hobson's underneath it, he doesn't drop him and that is two in two balls, extraordinary.
08:58Just drags that one there and well Hobson settled under it, he's taken a lot easier
09:05catches than that, yep and pull out the archery, he's the man, he's got the target on his back.
09:10Angelo for where he goes without troubling the scores, it's now three for two.
09:20Gone, he strikes as well, that's a team hat trick, that's outstanding work.
09:28Yeah they recognize it as well, that's a team hat they say.
09:32Well he started with a brilliant line, just back of a length there,
09:36finds the outside edge and the easiest of catches taken, blackmail strikes.
09:43Three don't know, he goes for one, it's three for three.
09:49A little bit fuller and that's gone past the ball and that's gone for four, that's a good
09:57strong shot down the ground. Had to reach for that and he's got it away for a bound,
10:03it's a free hit and it goes for four, so he's taken toll of that high full toss.
10:12Doesn't get enough of it does he and this is just a simple catch in the end,
10:19really good from Dooley and at the moment they're in control of this game.
10:29They again try to go across the line rather than going through the ball over long off.
10:35Out for eight, 32 for four strikes.
10:43Spliced, this will be another chance taken.
10:50They're just rolling his fingers over the delivery, taking pace off and
10:54the crucial thing was the length, he bowled very hard for the batter
10:58to hit a slower delivery from that length. Again brilliant execution from Andrew Tai,
11:05the skipper, he'll be a bit disappointed. Out for four of seven, 41 for five.
11:12Brathwaite in, Brathwaite out, straight away, what an over this is.
11:1924 required, every over, pretty much every delivery need to go to the boundary,
11:25it's a tough one. Carlos Brathwaite out for a duck, strike is 41 for six.
11:30Now how they do this sort of shot, so your Yorker sometimes now is a ball that they love to hit.
11:41Doesn't go length, he goes a full toss and this is smashed out of the park.
11:51High in the air, Andrew Tai will get underneath it and will not drop it.
12:01Again that length, digging hard into the surface, that slower delivery
12:05which we discussed earlier, very difficult ball to go after as a batter. Mitchell over and out for four.
12:15Slower delivery which is smashed down the ground by the Sri Lankan left arm bowler
12:22and flies it all the way for a six. 70 has come up
12:27into the surface again, smashed all the way, so finished back-to-back sixes for the strikers
12:36but it's the Tigers who win this opening game of the max 60 Caribbean cricket. They win by 25 runs.
12:47So the Tigers who were put into bat, got to 101 for eight, Hemp with his 24 from 10,
12:5316 for Ashley Nurse, 13 for Hurft. Owen was the pick of the bowl in three for 18 in reply.
13:00The strikers 76 for seven, Monroe 38 not out and the Tigers win by 25 runs.
