Did you go to any matches, Googs?
Unfortunately I could not make it this year. My friend went and reported that of all the years this year has been the best organized so far. In fact, he said it was so much better than the WI vs Bangla game.

What a surprise! :D :D :D
I can't believe! The CPL better organised than the WICB!

In a close finish at Basseterre, Guyana pipped St Kitts by four wickets and just one ball to spare.

Legspinner Imran Tahir took 4-22 to restrict St Kitts to 168-7, Chris Gayle topscoring with 40 from 27, and Anton Devcich contributing 35 from 24.

Jason Mohammed made 36 from 25, and Sohail Tanvir took Guyana home with 37 not out from 20, against seamers Carlos Brathwaite (2-23) and Ben Cutting (2-36).

Warriors got very lucky. Cappo made some moronic moves by bowling himself so much. He bowled 2 overs too much!

Johnson Charles hit 53 from 33, and Rovman Powell chipped in with 35 not out from 27, to guide Jamaica to victory, against left-arm pacer Wahab Riaz (2-27).
