[Cochblocked]

I was looking forward to this until i saw the match times. Pretty dumb to schedule the final on the same day as the world cup final as well.

 

[PhatBoy]

Man the camera operators need some practice

 

[Torz]

Super scratchy so far from Smithy.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

It’s cricket, it’s live on Fox......I’m watching.

That oval, a tad undulating.

 

[Torz]

Fawad Ahmed bowled well. Cottrell cost him 16 runs and a wicket through midfields and dropped catches. Figured could’ve been much better.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

31 6’s, who’d want to be a bowler??

 

[Leeda]

they like it and so do I.. smithy and

 

[Leeda]

no crash and burn .. telling me my smithy is hard to take..
love the way that smithy is working his way out of the darkness..

hope davey warner will grow along side.. .get on board boy..

 

[peternorth]

I really dig the team logos. Much better than our shitty ones

 

[Kyptastic]

Not a good start for Davey, bowled for 1.

Seems to have been picked up by Spartan bats as well.

If companies get over their corporate moralising, having these guys on board is going to get alot of coverage for their gear. The media will be interested in them whenever they play. Kind of smart by Spartan.

I think New Balance stuck by Smith, he was using one in his innings yesterday.

 

[HBF]

Man the camera operators need some practice

Send 'em to South Africa

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Warner run out in the first over.

I larfed.

 

[Whiskers]

Warner going to captain.

 

[Torz]

Warner going to captain.

Warner has now scored 1, 4, 1 and 6.

 

[Whiskers]

Warner has now scored 1, 4, 1 and 6.

I can see how he has earned captaincy, after being caught for getting a teammate to take sandpaper onto the field he has responded brilliantly since posting those 4 scores.

 

[Torz]

Now a duck. Having as bad a tournament as you can.

 

[PhatBoy]

This tournament to a degree has made me wonder why those taking part who haven't called time on their international career, still haven't done so.

 

[Torz]

Ben McDermott has had a good tournament. Was smoking them this morning.

His development in the last couple of seasons has been impressive.

 

[The Speaker]

2019 draft has finally happened, after twice being announced and delayed. Originally there was going to be a 'New York' team to replace the West Indies, but instead they've been replaced by Brampton, a satellite city of Toronto and the home of this year's event, which has moved from King City. Plenty of well known names in the squads, albeit no Smith and Warner this time.

Squads (overseas in brackets)

Brampton Wolves: Shahid Afridi (Pak), Andre Fletcher (WI), Shakib Al Hasan (Ban), Babar Hayat (HK), Faisal Jamkhandi, Armaan Kapoor, Aabrash Khan, Zahoor Khan (UAE), Nitish Kumar, Colin Munro (NZ), George Munsey (Sco), Rohan Mustafa (UAE), Timil Patel (USA), Wahab Riaz (Pak), Darren Sammy (WI), Lendl Simmons (WI), Nawab Singh, Phil Simmons (Coach - WI)

Montreal Tigers: Fawad Ahmed (Aus), George Bailey (Aus), Kyle Coetzer (Sco), Matthew Cross (Sco), Ashton Deosammy, Niroshan Dickwella (SL), Nikhil Dutta, Dillon Heyliger, Arslan Khan, Nizakat Khan (HK), Sunil Narine (WI), Mohammad Naveed (UAE), Keemo Paul (WI), Thisara Perera (SL), Bupinder Singh, Steven Taylor (USA), Isuru Udana (SL), Tom Moody (Coach - Aus)

Toronto Nationals: Trent Boult (NZ), Manpreet Gony (Ind), Jeremy Gordon, Chris Green (Aus), Heinrich Klaasen (SA), Sandeep Lamichhane (Nep), Calum McLeod (Sco), Brendon McCullum (NZ), Mark Montfort, Salman Nazar, Kieron Pollard (WI), Ghulam Shabber (UAE), Jasdeep Singh (USA), Ravinderpal Singh, Yuvraj Singh (Ind), Chirag Suri (UAE), Rodrigo Thomas, Geoff Lawson (Coach - Aus)

Vancouver Knights: Rizwan Cheema, Chris Gayle (WI), Ali Khan (USA), Shoaib Malik (Pak), Matthew Nandu, Rayyan Pathan, Michael Rippon (Ned), Andre Russell (WI), Daniel Sams (Aus), JJ Smit (Nam), Tim Southee (NZ), Harsh Thaker, Rassie van der Dussen (SA), Tobias Visee (Ned), Hayden Walsh Jr. (USA), Chadwick Walton (WI), Saad Bin Zafar, Donovan Miller (Coach - Can)

Winnipeg Hawks: Umar Akmal (Pak), Shaiman Anwar (UAE), Dwayne Bravo (WI), JP Duminy (SA), Rayad Emrit (WI), Romesh Eranga, Umair Ghani, Sana Kaleem, Sompal Kami (Nep), Chris Lynn (Aus), Varun Sehdev, Rameez Shahzad (UAE), Dwayne Smith (WI), Sunny Sohal (USA), Hamza Tariq, Paul van Meekeren (Ned), Najibullah Zadran (Afg), Lalchand Rajput (Coach - Ind)

The draft can be watched here, starts about an hour in - it's not a particularly interesting watch, but it does give you a good feel for the organisation behind this (and the Euro Slam):

 

[The Speaker]

If you were ever wondering how they're going to get their money back, the answer's simple: Star Sports India



With Yuvraj playing, they're pretty much guaranteed to get eyeballs on the tournament.

 

[The Speaker]

First match run and won, Yuvi off to a slow beginning with 15 (27) as his team lose by 8 wickets.

Also, a very strange second round in the schedule:

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Playing in the WC final, then off to a T20 tournament in Canada in the same month? A peculiar, but great addition to the cricketing world.
