00:00Barbados Royals they'll be taking on the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. A little
00:06earlier was Danny Morrison out there for that coin toss. Barbados Royals it came
00:12down in their favor and they opted to have a bowl first here on this wonderful
00:16surface at Kensington Oval. A couple chances for the Barbados Royals. Alec
00:21Athanase comes back in. He had a bit of an injury and then some big names as
00:24well David Miller, Keshav Mahadraj and Rivaldo Clark. He's that emerging
00:29player inside there. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons they've gone unchanged on the
00:34back of two wins for them. A little use of the feet and that gets them off the mark the
00:41Falcons. Oh gives himself room and that's going to be the first boundary. Oh that's
00:51lovely. That's the way to get going Justin Graves. Oh this one could find its
00:59way into the boundary as well it does. A productive over. Oh wasn't in control of
01:09that but that too will find its way to the boundary. Goes straight and this
01:15could be number one. Oh my how has he put that down. Oh gets past the man at 45
01:25and into the boundary. The runs are coming for the Falcons. Oh my goodness
01:32gracious me as beautiful as it gets. Well hello Justin Graves. Welcome to the
01:40party my boy. That is an excellent delivery to start. Naveen second over in
01:48the power play and Graves can only smile. It does advance but adapts well. Shorter
01:55length. Naveen saw him coming. He's had a really good start to this year's
01:59Republic by CPL. 50 partnership up. Pace off. There have been a number of inside
02:06edges tonight. Down the track. Both of these batters have used their feet
02:12tonight but now works to the detriment of Brandon King. Republic Bank CPL
02:18welcomes a South African overseas who is decorated. A little bit of turn on that
02:25occasion. Brandon King reckless in his use of his feet and after a good start
02:30once more he has to trudge back to the pavilion.
02:38Runs
02:42Very well played. Great dexterity on show. Skillful very skillful here from Sam
02:48Billings. Oh I enjoyed that shot certainly from Billings. A Republic Bank
02:55maximum. Well that's into the gap. That's going to release some pressure and it
03:03also brings up the 50 for Justin Graves. His second in CPL and what a knock it's
03:09been. Yeah trying some innovation. It's much needed. Have to get on with it the
03:17Falcons. Lovely. Yeah it just does. Good thinking from Sam Billings. This is as
03:27you said Danny. This is what he's known for in T20 cricket. Yeah bravery. This is
03:35an important over three boundaries to start. They'll check the height of that
03:43but it will be another boundary. Four consecutive boundaries in this over and
03:48it brings up a 50 for Sam Billings. First in Republic Bank CPL and 33rd in T20
03:54cricket. This is going straight up. Two guys under it Powell and Cornwall and put
04:02down third drop chance tonight. Yeah not doing themselves any favors the Barbados
04:07Royals 140 for one. Goes through Obed McCoy. The fielding has gone in the wrong
04:14direction for the Barbados Royals tonight. Not a good way to start at home.
04:21Holder has his man and he has another wicket at Kensington Oval. A place he
04:26does so well at an El Dorado celebration for him. He's getting closer to those
04:31three figures. He'll change of pace. It's a bit unlucky for Billings but he's had
04:37his luck so he can head back to the dugout. Back to the dressing room.
04:45Yeah given in the end given. Number 43 for Jason Holder at Kensington Oval. A
04:53place he is addicted to taking wickets at. Nice healthy noisy edge. End of
05:02Fabian Allen. In and out for just one.
05:09Again such a big boundary but it does get into boundary. Finally first boundary in
05:1411 deliveries. There's that wide plan again. Finally Naveen is able to execute.
05:23Tried to hit it a bit hard. Probably thought he had his three wood out on the 17th.
05:28Tee box. Oh yeah it's there. Gets a length and he looks back at the replay.
05:37Picked up. That is a sign of the power that this Falcons side possess. That has
05:47been hit so powerfully but straight to Jason Holder. Now they're trying to go
05:51for it understandably the Falcons but wickets are falling. He again didn't
05:55time this. Another batter. When you think about Green where he went with his. Yeah
05:59just open up that front leg and so you're reaching for it. He said to
06:02stretch for it. More power. That has been hit so cleanly into the big boundary as
06:11well. Barely gets it past the court. Could be a valuable boundary to end the
06:20innings. They get past the 175 mark. The 27 at the top from Brandon King was in
06:27good tempo. Put on a nice partnership with Justin Graves. They got 55 without
06:31loss in the pole play. Then a bit of a slowdown from Graves and Billings. They
06:36only went at seventh in the middle and struggled to keep up that tempo going
06:39into the end. A couple of wickets to hold. He loves this venue as we all
06:43appreciate. Two for Naveen. A little expensive and one for Maharaj with the
06:49wicket takers. Cornwall then had the one over and McCoy. McCoy just had that last
06:54couple of deliveries here and there. He was a bit expensive as well. Didn't get a
06:58wicket tonight. That target 177. The chase is on. Starts Willamere. Oh he goes
07:10up but not far. Easily taken by Primus and the skipper has got a big one. How
07:17often have we seen this from Chris Green in the pole play phase of the innings. So
07:22good at using his angles, his variations and smarts as a bowler with his lengths.
07:29Kim Cornwall just trying to manufacture that stroke down the ground.
07:36Catches the cray but he finds the gap. He finds the first boundary. Oh burst to the
07:44hands. That could have been two down instead. It's a boundary. They needed that.
07:52That's runs. That's the way to close out. Oh he's got a spring in that bat. A catch.
08:02Oh there the stands. It's been dropped but it's a Republic Bank maximum.
08:09That should be four. So much precision. Packed offside field and still good enough to get it in the gap.
08:19Clean. Very clean and very good from Alec Athenez.
08:30Oh just spins past Chris Green. It takes a bounce. Going to that wide plan. Oh this
08:38is trouble gone. Athenez runs into Quinton the court. Billings saw the
08:44opportunity and took it. Good Lord. We're only mentioning this prior to the drinks
08:50break. It's been one of the worst ways to get out for top order players that are
08:54set. Trevor Penny knows it. It was almost a run out prior to the drinks break. Now
09:01it's on because there's been a collision. Not knowing when it's looking. Oh and
09:07Athenez runs straight into the cock and sadly both went that way. Oh the free hit
09:14sails. It sails far. That's what they want the Barbados Royals. Oh catches the
09:23cray and the easiest of dismissals. They see the back of Quinton the cock. It's
09:30Quinton the cock. He's set. He's striking at 160 and it was one of his favorite
09:35areas. Just that lovely little swivel hook or pull shot. He's only managed to get a
09:40bit of glove on this and it balloons up for Billings. I think one of the simplest
09:46ones he'll ever see. Oh Primus please. No ball which means another TCL free hit.
09:55Oh, my goodness me. It's all happening. Boundaries, disappointment and 23 runs in
10:09the over. We've finally reached the end of 12 104 for three. Rules after that.
10:18That's enough. Yes. Oh, whoa. Oh, Chris Green. Oh, my dear. Put that in the
10:28highlight reel. TV replay. Let's have a little look. Quite brilliant if he saved
10:34this because it was going for six. Six foot three. Up, up and away. No, he's just
10:43just over. Good effort though, Greeny. But no cigar, chief. It's a sixer. Oh, they say
10:52E for effort but I give him an A on that occasion. It's a Republic Bank maximum.
10:57But that was brilliant work from Chris Green.
11:05Oh, he's gotten that dealt with appropriately. Badly lined and boundary.
11:14There we go. One, two, four, four, three.
11:24Here come the covers. Oh, that's bad news.
11:29At this moment, Barbados Royals 12 runs ahead on that Duckworth Lewis Parr.
11:34Ladies and gentlemen, we are really sorry to bring you the news here from the Oval. First
11:40game, remember, of four home matches for the Barbados Royals taking on the Falcons.
11:45And we are saddened to bring you the news that the game has been abandoned. So handshakes on.
11:51And that means the Royals who were 10 runs ahead of the Duckworth Lewis Wells, the rain fell.
11:57So they end up winning by 10. Important win.
