« on: October 26, 2011, 07:28:09 AM »
this on espn3.com for those in the US.

Miami, FL - ESPN Caribbean will telecast LIVE the two semifinal and final matches of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Super 50 2011 on October 26, 27 and 29 from Guyana National Stadium in Providence. Each match will begin at 1:30 p.m. local time.

The semi finalist in the Regional Super50 Tournament are host Guyana, powerhouse Jamaica, Caribbean Twenty20 champions Trinidad and Tobago and the Barbadian-based Sagicor High Performance Centre Team.

 “ESPN’s live coverage of the Regional Super 50 reinforces our commitment presenting world-class cricket to fans throughout the Caribbean,” said Bernard Stewart, Vice President and General Manager, ESPN Caribbean and Maritime Media, Disney and ESPN Media Networks.

Big hitting opener Chris Gayle and all rounder Dwayne Bravo will appear for Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago respectively while several rookie West Indies players are in the Guyana line up. The Sagicor HPC team consists of mainly the next generation of West Indies cricketers.

Former legendary West Indies cricketers Curtly Ambrose and Jeff Dujon will be a part of the commentary team along with former West Indies all rounder and Head Coach Roger Harper.

I went out in the real world and did stuff. I'm guessing Jamaica won.

Anything but super
By Fazeer Mohammed
Story Created: Oct 31, 2011 at 12:53 AM ECT

It's a good thing the world wasn't watching.

In keeping with a tournament that has failed to generate interest beyond the narrow confines of the competing territories, Saturday's final of the Regional Super50 underscored the degree to which mediocrity has taken a firm grip as the defining characteristic of Caribbean cricket.
 
But let me correct myself right away, for the interest doesn't even extend to the narrow confines referred to above, not when immigration officers at Cheddi Jagan International Airport were telling the few Trini diehards arriving in Guyana on the morning of the final they had no idea a big match was on that day at Providence.
 
Those officers were not alone in their ignorance, or indifference. Even with the home team in action against Trinidad and Tobago in the first semi-final on Wednesday, only a couple hundred felt it worth the effort to part with the Guy$1,000 (US$5) admission fee to see their national side. Granted it was the Divali holiday and many in the Hindu community would have been preoccupied with religious observances. Still, the paltry turnout betrayed widespread disinterest in a nation still generally acknowledged to have an obsessive attachment to the game.
 
Both semi-finals and the final were covered by the American-based sporting network, ESPN, in the continuation of an arrangement with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), although the matches were only available "live" on cable networks in the region while North American and other audiences were required to access the coverage via the internet on ESPN3.com.
 
At the best of times, the three matches were distressingly poor advertisements for the West Indian game. Coinciding as they did with a pulsating World Series finale to the Major League Baseball season (including a Game 6 that has instantly been hailed as one of the all-time classics), we should probably be grateful that most Americans were too absorbed with the St Louis Cardinals' eventual triumph over the Texas Rangers in seven games to even bother to notice the sub-standard fare being served up at the Guyana National Stadium.
 
Even if we were to take into account the same turgid, lifeless track that was used for all three matches ("Why?" is the obvious question) and the absence of several first-choice players on West Indies duty in Bangladesh, the consistent inability of any batting line-up to make the necessary adjustment in combating the challenge was sobering, even if you were sober all the time anyway.
 
Yes, the spinners, with Sunil Narine the most effective exponent, bowled well and exploited the helpful conditions. But it is no exaggeration to say they were flattered by leaden-footed players who seem to have been converted almost completely to the all-or-nothing crassness to which what was once the art of batsmanship has now descended.
 
Whether or not it is a consequence of the obsession with the frenetic pace of Twenty20 cricket, the fact remains that the subtlety, finesse and plain cricketing common sense of picking up singles to keep the scoreboard ticking over, to alternate the strike and so put the bowler off a consistent line of attack is fast becoming an endangered specie on the playing fields of the Caribbean.
 
There were one or two exceptions, and it must be noted that the batting of Jason Mohammed throughout the tournament suggests that he is long overdue for an extended run in the Trinidad and Tobago team, even when all the returning players are available. Where some have regressed or appear to lack the motivation to push themselves in the much more modest environment of the regional game, the 25-year-old right-hander displayed the skill and temperament that set him apart from almost all around him.
 
Maybe he will eventually become complacent if established in the national side, or look down upon playing for his country as a nuisance if elevated to senior regional representation. Maybe, but then he won't be alone in succumbing to that malaise, and in any event, is clearly deserving of greater faith from the selectors five-and-a-half years after a hundred against the Windward Islands in a regional first-class semi-final at Guaracara Park marked him in the eyes of some as a special talent.
 
More than the uninspiring cricket out in the middle, it was impossible, even in the five days in Guyana for the semi-finals and final, to ignore the power-struggle in the administration of the game in that South American nation that has left many disillusioned and feeling disenfranchised. Those now in office will obviously argue otherwise, but the proof of the pepperpot is in the eating. At the moment, the results aren't very palatable.
 
Here at home, the Azim Bassarath-led administration should not allow their resounding success at being returned to office unopposed for another two years to be interpreted as confirmation that all is well in the state of Trinidad and Tobago cricket, on or off the field. If anything, the coincidence of their electoral success and the national team's capitulation to Jamaica on that Saturday should make clear that there is no time for celebration.
 
Too often we have heard talk of post-mortems in the face of disappointments in recent years, and watched as business continued as usual.
 
This time around, the concern is not merely about defeat in the final, but the overall performance of the squad--from the opening loss to the Combined Campuses and Colleges to the final flop at the hands of Chris Gayle's Jamaicans–in a competition that was anything but super.

Jamaica beat T&T in Super50 final

Jamaica beat T&T in Super50 final
Story Created: Oct 31, 2011 at 12:53 AM ECT
l PROVIDENCE

Jamaica were crowned Regional Super50 kings on Saturday, after an unbroken 45-run stand between Tamar Lambert and Shawn Findlay ushered them to a five-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago.
 
Lambert was not out on the top score of 30 and Findlay was not out on 25, as Jamaica successfully chased a modest 119 for victory in the low-scoring final under the lights at the Guyana National Stadium.
 
Findlay formalised the result with 86 balls remaining, when he drove off-spinner Sherwin Ganga through wide mid-off for the last of his four boundaries.
 
The result meant that Jamaica captured their first regional 50-over title in four years, claiming the Clive Lloyd Trophy named in honour of the former Guyana and West Indies captain, now West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) director.
 
"I told Lindel Wright (president of the Jamaica Cricket Association) that I would bring back home the trophy and we have got the job done, and hopefully we can improve from now in limited-overs cricket," said Jamaica captain and talismanic West Indies batsman Chris Gayle.
 
Stingy bowling from left-arm spinner Nikita Miller helped Jamaica dismiss T&T for 118 in 46.1 overs on a hard, true pitch under bright, sunny skies.
 
Miller put Jamaica in control, when he grabbed three wickets for 19 runs from his allotment of 12 overs to earn the Man-of-the-Match award.
 
"We came under some pressure in our semi-final and we decided that we wanted to go all out and do our best and make sure that we came out on top," said Miller.
 
Jason Mohammed continued to lead the T&T batting, hitting the top score of 32. He finished as the tournament's leading batsman with 227 runs at an average of 56.75 and earned the Most Valuable Player award. But no other batsman reached 20 after the Red Force decided to bat.
 
"We simply did not put enough runs on the board, and we have been struggling a lot in these conditions because the pitches have been very slow and low," said T&T captain Daren Ganga.
 
The Jamaicans stumbled to 24 for two at the interval, with Gayle not out on nine and Danza Hyatt not out on one.
 
Opener Kennar Lewis was lbw to the second ball of the innings to give Sunil Narine a tournament-leading 15th wicket. And Xavier Marshall boosted T&T's confidence, when he was trapped lbw to (Sherwin) Ganga in the fourth over, leaving Jamaica 14 for two.
 
After the interval, Jamaica continued to wobble, when Gayle was lbw to Samuel Badree for 12 in the 14th over and Odean Brown was caught inside the long-on boundary for six, leaving Jamaica 42 for four in the 16th over.
 
Lambert joined Hyatt and they stemmed the fall of wickets for Jamaica with a stand of 35 for the fifth wicket, but T&T still sensed they could pull off an upset, particularly with their spinners in control.
 
Hyatt was lbw to Rayad Emrit for 29 in the 30th over, but Shawn Findlay entered and batted with typical enterprise, flicking the same bowler for four through mid-wicket to get off the mark. He brought the urgency that was surprisingly lacking from the Jamaica batsmen, and hastened them to the finish line in tandem with Lambert.
