Even Lewis has not progressed as much as I thought he would in the T20 format. Probably bowlers have now figured out that he has a weakness against the fuller balls and is very strong on anything that is short pitch stuff.

I agree....

In a battle of cellar teams in Bridgetown, St Lucia beat Barbados by six wickets with more than two overs to spare in a low-quality match.

Chris Lamont (2-21), Kesrick Williams (2-32) and Obed McCoy (2-24) contained a stuttering home team to 135-7, Hashim Amla topscoring with a run-a-ball 35.

David Warner then anchored the St Lucia reply with a run-a-ball 42 not out, while Chandrapaul Hemraj struck 37 from 26, as the visitors ended their group fixtures.

Tall pacers Mohammed Irfan and Jason Holder were the best bowlers for Barbados with 2-22 and 2-25.

the curse of the missed match strikes again

The team earning a bye into the final, losing that final, happens so often that it should come as no surprise to anyone

Indeed...the team that plays more matches tends to be sharper.

The Trinbago Knight Riders delivered a home win when they beat Guyana by eight wickets with more than two overs to spare in the final of the CPL at Tarouba.

Spinner Khary Pierre took 3-29 and seamer Dwayne Bravo 2-30 to restrict Guyana to 147-9, Luke Ronchi the only batsman to offer any resistance with 44 from 35.

Colin Munro blasted 68 not out from 39 balls, including six fours and three sixes, to take TKR to victory. He received support from Brendan McCullum (39 from 24) and Denesh Ramdin (24 from 30), while the only Guyanese wicket-takers were Romario Shepherd and Chris Green, who took one each.
