00:00 We are here, cricket, lovely cricket and ladies, lovely ladies.
00:05 Ladies, you are here, you look like you are having a good time.
00:08 How good a time are you having today?
00:09 A very good time.
00:10 Yeah.
00:11 Real good time.
00:12 We study women's game also.
00:14 So you came for both games?
00:16 Huh?
00:17 You came for both games?
00:18 We came to the female too, yes.
00:20 What do you think of all that you have seen so far?
00:22 Well, the female played real good and in the male game, I don't like how Diana balled it.
00:28 But to be honest, I feel the Trinitarian female is playing better than the Trinitarian male.
00:35 Oh boy, we are in trouble here.
00:37 So I stumbled across some Guyanese fans here.
00:40 They travelled all the way from Georgetown to be here.
00:43 Now first question guys, chicken curry or curry chicken?
00:47 Chicken curry all the way.
00:49 Oh boy.
00:50 So I mean if I ask you then, how are you enjoying the match so far?
00:56 You can't complain. Cricket is the game.
00:59 Trinidad and Guyana are the best team in the world tournament.
01:01 So we support both teams.
01:03 Now you all came all the way from Guyana.
01:05 Why come to Trinidad?
01:07 This game, I want to see Trinidad both times.
01:10 See them here, see them in Guyana too.
01:12 Well that makes sense to me.

01:53 There is a very strong possibility, yes.
01:55 But we will find out. We will find out.
01:58 So you are waiting and see right now. You are not making a prediction?
02:00 No, because you know it is always a tough one between Trinidad and Guyana.

02:04 Now looking at the vibes across in the stands.
02:06 Why are you all chose this stand though?
02:08 The vibe. You see the energy in this crowd?
02:11 That is enough for me.
02:12 TB6 VanZyl is all about love. It is all about vibe.
02:15 Listen, you have not looked at cricket until you have been in one of these places.

02:24 Percy, what do you think about the environment?
02:26 It is a lovely environment. It is beautiful to see all our people.
02:29 You know, everybody from different companies joining in and just participating in cricket today.
02:33 I am going to ask a question. I am not sure looking at this.
02:36 Is this an Amazon warrior? Is this a TKR? Who are we supporting today?
02:39 We are supporting TKR always.
02:41 Oh, we will just...
02:43 Alright, so the friends at the back making sure that she is supporting TKR.
02:46 What do you think about the score so far?
02:48 Do you think it is a score that we could win with?
02:50 I think we have a lot of work to do in the field.
02:52 So right now we need our bowlers to put their best stuff forward
02:56 and also for the guys in the field to bring it together for us to win.
03:00 I think I could lose my job in the commentary box.
03:02 The kind of analyst that we have happening here.
03:04 She is hiding from me right now, but I am going to find her.
03:07 They told me she is the top cricket analyst in the place.
03:09 She has got the TKR jersey.
03:11 What is the best part of the game for you so far?
03:13 What has been your best experience?
03:15 Right now, this is what I am looking forward to. The chase.
03:18 Seeing us bowl them out. This is what I come for.
03:20 But finding you hanging around by the food and drinks.
03:22 I thought that would have been my favourite part of it.
03:25 I am a big fan. I like the vibes.
03:27 So the vibe of the energy.
03:29 What about the atmosphere? It is a great atmosphere.

03:40 But they did not take the cue.
03:42 But we are loving the atmosphere.
03:44 What do you think of the atmosphere in the game so far?
03:46 I mean, Chinese love a life.
03:48 And all we want to do is bring everybody together and enjoy ourselves.
03:51 So we are enjoying the game and we are enjoying the atmosphere.
03:54 We have great food. We have great people.
03:56 What else could we ask for?
03:58 This is where all the big wigs hang out.
04:00 And that is why I found a local celebrity here.
04:02 A familiar face. Russell Russell in cricket.
04:04 Former national goalkeeper.
04:06 What has the experience been like so far?
04:08 The experience has been great.

04:14 I think it is a great experience.
04:16 And listening to the confidence and you said going to win.
04:18 That didn't fly over my head.
04:20 Yeah, we are going to win.

04:37 How confident are you going on to win?
04:40 Not 100% sure but we will see how it goes.
04:44 Alright, while he is not 100% sure about what he is doing.
04:48 Somebody took a wicket.
04:50 I am supposed to be neutral.
04:52 In the meantime we are going to cut.
04:54 Guys, I think I am going to be hanging out here a little bit longer.
04:57 Because this seems to be the real spot to watch cricket right here in the Hoval.
