Jamaica Tallawahs win two in two and are now sitting pretty at the top of the table.
Trinbago Knight Riders have now lost three out of the four games they
have played and need resurrections - mental or tactical. That's it. Join
us back as the action rolls on. Ta-ta!
Gayle (also the Man of the Match):
"Great win. Bowlers did a wonderful job on this wonderful wicket.
Narine was very much the key bowler for them but we targetted rest of
the bowlers. I was not worried about the run rate; I would have if the
wicket was tougher. Benn could have played a big part too. There were
key moments in the game. Russell came in and played a crucial knock. My
back is a worry, I need to look into it. Russell is struggling too, so
we have to look into it too."
Bravo:
"Well played to Chris. 190 is a very good total but no excuses. We gave
them chances, 3-4 chances to Gayle, the best player. We don't want to
worry about coin toss or the dew. Players have to take the
responsibility to improve their own personal game. The crowd was
fantastic. Very disappointed we couldn't win a few more games for our
fans."
The
start was slow enough to coax you into deliberating what-if-Gayle-fails
quite early, just that Gayle didn't fail. An unbeaten 54-ball 108 from
him to guide his team home, en route to ridiculing a big total. The
pitch was a good one, McCullum had shown it to us in the first innings,
but a dew-wet ball helped, and so did Gayle's continued form from the
first match. Sangakkara and Russell chipped in with cameos to team up an
effort good enough to shadow Steyn's bowling figures of 4-0-56-1.
