[Cmarsh]

Chris Lynn one of the Aussie captains over there. Bit of a shame he couldnt be there for Adelaides playoff BBL game tomorrow though:

It's due to a lack of talent in the UAE, and trying to prioritize quality.
There are other T20 leagues in the UAE for domestic players.

Does anyone actually give a s*it about this?

It's probably the closest thing we have to a fully international league, where it has the potential to get the best of the best due to the high limit of 9 international players per team.

Looks like a retirement home for Cricketers that are past it bar for a couple

Nah, that the Legend League Cricket, Legends League Cricket Masters, Road Safety World Series, and the US Masters T10 League.
This is more twilight years / guns for hire league

 

[NYRB]

Damn I thought ILT20 was on Kayo.

Looks like im going to have to fork out a few extra bucks for the coverage then. Pretty sure last year Kayo covered the ILT20.

 

[NYRB]

Game 1:



Teams:

Gulf Giants (Playing XI): James Vince(c), Usman Khan, Jordan Cox, Jamie Smith(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Karim Janat, Aayan Afzal Khan, Dominic Drakes, Chris Jordan, Jamie Overton, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Sharjah Warriors (Playing XI): Johnson Charles, Tom Kohler-Cadmore(c), Niroshan Dickwella(w), Basil Hameed, Daniel Sams, Lewis Gregory, Chris Woakes, Muhammad Jawadullah, Maheesh Theekshana, Christopher Sole, Qais Ahmad

Sharjah Warriors have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Bit of an Australian flavour in Game 1, with Australias very own Daniel Sams participating in it. Im sure fellow Australians will be supporting him in his conquest for ILT20 Season 2.

 

[NYRB]

And it looks like a decent crowd in Friday night with music in Sharjah

 

[NYRB]

Jamie Smith looks like he has hit that one onto the top of the tents and its new balls please.

 

[NYRB]

Sole from Scotland goes for 21 off his 1st over.

 

[NYRB]

Ground isnt lightning quick here tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Sixers v Thunder right here

James Vince v Daniel Sams

 

[NYRB]

Cant wait for Dave Warners game tomorrow night.

 

[NYRB]

Daniel Sams goes for 19 runs off his 1st over.

 

[NYRB]

Theekshana gets Jamie Smith and he has to depart inside the Powerplay.

 

[NYRB]

Sams taking a pounding today from the UAE batter. Sams 40 runs off his 3 overs tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Theekshana with a decent shift 15/4 off his 4.0 overs tonight.
