It was great seeing Ponting marshaling the troops yesterday. The players (especially the regional ones) seem to have a lot of respect for him and respond to him really well. The commentators were giving Samuels a lot of stick for not showing enough emotion and not rallying his team, but I can't blame him for that; he has always been a reserved character and expecting him to change overnight for the sake of this tournament is ridiculous. I think Ponting was well aware of this and was happy to assume the role of on-field motivator.

Tonight I was hearing people talking that nonsense again. I don't even bother to respond. Plenty people taking basket from Andre Baptiste's article as well. If I listen to too many Trinis, I end wanting to vomit so I've learned to tune it out.

St Lucia Zouks 92 (17.5/20 ov)
Barbados Tridents won by 83 runs

Time to ask: Pollard vs Bravo as captain?

Pollard never struck me as a big ego, confident yeah, goh trow talk on field yeah, but he seems level headed all d same and smarter too

D.H.W · « **Reply #222 on:** August 09, 2013, 04:59:33 AM »

So instead of leveling the playing field they create a new red force under the name tridets. That just happens to be owned by the main funder of CPL Mr Khan.

All the results going our way, but we not winning. Today is another therapy session in the oval

Ah hear Benn drunk and smoking 1 am this morning

Couldn't they have just left us with Emrit,I dont suppose that Mr.Khan was taking any chances so they depleted us like vultures to a dead dog.This Khan fella wants Bim Tridents to win this and they are sure to win,the Trinis will see to that.As the saying goes dem Bajans and Muddies "never had it so good".
MDCNTS ALL AH DEM.

Well hear the thing, these players were selected before the tournament start, what i find odd is that they never said how the franchise player were selected for the teams.

While the draft was "fair" two teams get to choose players first more than the other teams (Guyana and Barbados), (Coincidence or random?)

Limacol title sponser - Guyanese company > Narine , Ramdin , Simmons, Perkins
Mr Khan is the main funder - Bajan > Pollard, Emritt , Gabriel

Those two teams take all the Trinis except Rampaul who went Jamaica (Coincidence?) Add on the other big international players and you see how strong they are.

Meanwhile the other teams struggling.

Another thing is, It was supposed to be City names and for some unknown reason they switched to country names.

royal · « **Reply #227 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:52:41 AM »

thanks D.H.W for clearing that up. I guess fairness and West Indies doh go together.People are blinded now with all de excitement but once de dust settle we will begin to hear rumblings.

Dem two countries especially like to tief all things Trinbagonian and brand it as their own. Ain't nuttin new. It vexes me how TnT allows it to continue to happen.

rotatopoti3 · « **Reply #229 on:** August 09, 2013, 11:16:38 AM »

this is d explanation DWoflman give me...for Ponting

What power do the WI selectors have and what do they gain by using this "power" to assign him to the Hawksbills? He said he would like to play for the T&T franchise, but he had no say in where he played. The franchise players were assigned, not how, and we ended up with Ross Taylor. The CPL used a hierarchical draft system starting with 6 regional franchise players, 6 international franchise players, regional elite, international elite, regional Pool B, international Pool B and then regional U-23 players. In addition there was a 4-man selection committee consisting of the team's head and assistant coaches and their two franchise players. They were allowed a certain number of selections from each level, for example you must have a minimum of 2 U-23s in your squad of 15 (if I'm not mistaken they must be from the home country as well) which also includes the 2 franchise players. Taylor, Bravo, Greenidge and David Williams pick this squad.

D.H.W · « **Reply #230 on:** August 09, 2013, 11:23:13 AM »

Yes I know the process, I was following the draft live.

My take is how Barbados and Guyana get so lucky picking players first each round. Now this could be a random fluke, but its just strange that's all. Trinidad had the worse because we were almost always last in each round picking players. So we get the left overs

so the teams will be like this every year, so will it be a complete re-shuffle next year?
