Saturday, August 5th – Florida: Jamaica Tallawahs vs. Barbados Tridents (Photo credit: Brandt Williams)
Don’t worry Cricket fans, I have not forgotten you. Â I just feel a little left out since matches do not come to Jamaica until August 25th!
Florida got quite a few matches this year. My Kingston 21 Suga Bears should check out the Schedule! I know some went last weekend already.
CPL T20 2017 Schedule:
The Teams
Jamaica Tallawahs
Chris Gayle has left the Tallawahs for the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots! What a tragedy.
We still have Wicket Keeper and Batsman, Kumar Sangakkara though.
We acquired one of the best bowlers in CPL T20, Krishmar Santoki.
We also have a good batsman, Lendl Simmons.
The Coach is former English Cricketer, Paul Nixon.
Barbados Tridents
The Tridents have a decent team with all-rounder, Kieron Pollard, Bowler Ravi Rampaul, Wicket keeper out of Pakistan, Shoaib Malik and New Zealand Batsman, Kane Williamson.
Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Amazon Warriors have a lot of new faces like the Tallawahs.
Familiar names are the Kiwi Batsman, Martin Guptill, Batsman and Wicket Keeper, Chadwick Walton, Batsman and Bowler, Jason Mohammed and Bowler, Veerasammy Permaul.
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots
The Patriots are coached by former West Indian Cricketer and Coach, Phil Simmons.
Joining Chris Gayle, they have well known, Samuel Badree, Carlos Brathwaite and Pakistani Bowler, Hasan Ali.
They are expected to do well.
St. Lucia Stars
The St. Lucia Stars have Aussie Batsman and Bowler, Shane Warson, Darren Sammy, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor and a Bowler from New Zealand, Mitchell McClenaghan.
Trinbago Knight Riders
The Trinbago Knight Riders are stacked! They have the Bravo Brothers, Dwayne and Darren, Kiwi Batsman, Brendon McCullum, Sunil Narine, Denesh Ramdin and popular South Africam Batsman, Hashim Amla.
How is it going so far?

Congrats to the Jamaica Tallawahs for winning 4/4 at home! Last night they beat the Barbados Tridents who opted to field first, by 36 runs.
Thank goodness Chris Gayle has a stronger team this time around, especially since he is injured. He was dismissed early again but Chadwick Walton was the one last night who stepped up and scored 97 with the support of Sangakkara and he won Man of the Match.

The Tallawahs had an all around performance throughout the 4 games here. Well deserved victories.
It was a pleasure to see so many Jamaicans come out and support the Cricket, drinking or not drinking. Well done CPL. For those who actually follow the CPL, the Tallawahs leave home at the top of the table.
