A lack of batting in the line-up, but the bowling was easily good enough.
We started well bowling first, and took regular wickets throughout their innings. In a new plan derivating from real life T20 tactics, Hinds opened the bowling for us, and bowled straight through at the start, taking 0/27, a respectable showing for the plan. It was Sammy who took the early wickets though, and Bishoo and Narine capitalised on that when given the middle overs. Alford and Dwayne Bravo came on for the death, and between them managed the figures of 5 overs, 1/18. Decent.
118 always looked 30 light, and our opening partnership absolutely destroyed it. They put on 109 runs, taking us within sight of victory, with Burton's 61, his highest T20 score to date, coming from a comfortable 51 balls. Simmons was slower. Edwards was out straight after Burton, but Darren joined Lendl to take us to victory with 12 balls to spare, with a big six.
Series State - West Indies lead 1-0 with 1 to play.
Batting Award - Burton/Simmons - Easy, with the openers for once performing.
Bowling Award - Devendra Bishoo - Not easy to pick just one, but he was economical and dangerous.
Team News - Never change a winning side. That's not my motto, but for once I'll follow it.
