SportsTranscript
00:00Here from the heartbeat of Kingston to the theatre of Sabina Park, it's the first game, the opening chapter in
00:06this T20 International Series. West Indies against Sri Lanka. We're beaming live from this majestic stadium.
00:16Thankfully, it's been quite dry during the course of the day, and this is what this multi-format tour looks
00:23like. No result in the second and third one, the International Sri Lanka. By virtue of winning the first one,
00:29the series 1-0.
00:30T20I action starts as making their way out. Zahid Basarad, left of screen. Dighton Butler, the other one right of
00:42screen. So two locals will be in charge out in the middle.
00:47Yeah, wonderful demographic. People of all ages, they've come out tonight for this entertainment to the theatre. That is Sabina
00:56Park.
00:57Yeah, they've just...
01:00A little bit of a loosener. It will challenge the boundary. I don't think that it will get there.
01:08He has protection in the deep. A couple of them. Does it bisect them? It does.
01:14Yeah, there is a feeling that's hearing in. Almost got there.
01:18I'm surfing Rutherford, I think.
01:22Didn't quite get there.
01:25Yeah, this time it will be four.
01:28Places it well enough.
01:33Yeah, short and dispatch. It will be one bounce for four.
01:36He has a mid-horn and very quickly picks that.
01:41This time he makes connection. A whole lot of it.
01:45That's not a shot. That's a statement from Kushal Mendes.
01:49First six of the inning.
01:53And then that. Wow.
01:57Back-to-back sixes. We had to wait four overs for it, but they came in.
02:01Context.
02:02This could be a wicked... No, it's not.
02:05Sales over.
02:06All of their heads.
02:08Fielder signals four.
02:10One bounce.
02:11It's the fifth over.
02:14Clean him up. What a response.
02:17That's experience for you.
02:19Jason Hall at its very best.
02:22First one down for Sri Lanka.
02:27Last.
02:29Top order batter.
02:31West Indies in the West Indies.
02:33Seven wickets.
02:35Huge shout.
02:37That looks exercent.
02:39They're going to review it.
02:41They certainly will.
02:44Yes, review taken straight away.
02:59TV on party director.
03:01We have...
03:03Goes for it.
03:04Just over.
03:06The leap in Rovman Powell.
03:08So he gets his inning started with a boundary.
03:12Now he picks this one up.
03:13There's a fielder lingering.
03:15He picks it.
03:16Oh, just brilliant from Hettmeyer.
03:20I'm sure the umpire will want to take another look at that.
03:23But from up here, it looks like a magnificent effort
03:27to pick up the third wicket for West Indies.
03:34Oh, it's an edge.
03:36It's an edge, but there's no one there.
03:39So it flies through to the boundary.
03:42Sri Lanka...
03:45Picks it up.
03:46And picks it up well.
03:47He has launched that over the cover area for a maximum.
03:52You talking about him getting his flow?
03:56Heel set for the batter.
03:58Oh, he sparks them.
04:01It's in the air.
04:03He takes it.
04:05A really well-judged catch by Ruston Chase.
04:08So after that six, Shema Joseph has answered back with a massive wicket in the...
04:13A new batter, a new batter, an experienced...
04:16Sal Mendes.
04:17Yeah, I thought initially it was a bit too safe.
04:20We mentioned Timo in a good put-
04:23Yeah, when you're through.
04:25So how we played it, mate.
04:27This is the last delivery all over Sri Lanka.
04:29Heel set for a bit of an assessment piece of bowling as well.
04:45I'm just riding that.
04:49But that's the beauty of the...
04:51It's the right part of the scene, Shepard, as much as it did, Shana.
04:54The amount of bouncing all of the West Indy.
04:58Important.
04:59Him coming in now.
05:00Really good start from...
05:01Holder in tandem with the...
05:04Bit cleanly, but got a hand to it.
05:06The big question...
05:07There's something about un-waters in that can line them up.
05:15Seema's...
05:16I've been seeing that flashing blade and he's wondering if...
05:19Yeah, it was impressed me with his...
05:22Delivery, just tucking him up.
05:25She...
05:26Surprising move.
05:30Looking to be in...
05:31Into the attack, reverse sweep, pulled up.
05:34Goes again.
05:36Makes really good connection this time.
05:38So wasn't too bothered by the fact that he didn't get it the first time.
05:43Come in, do.
05:44What we've seen from the Seema.
05:48At pace.
05:54The change in front appreciably.
05:58Thinking too, but...
06:00At the end of the...
06:0136 for four, it's been a good...
06:03Cricket as well.
06:05Big summer ahead.
06:07The rebuild is on.
06:09Through the experience of Dasun Shanaka.
06:14Yeah, something has to give tonight.
06:19It's gone high and it's gone long.
06:22It's the power that we've associated with this man in the past couple years.
06:31Action of the brand that Gary Kurse knocked out in the Super 8s.
06:35Unbeaten in the...
06:38Drinks break half, we see it's over, but you're right.
06:42Forge moving forward.
06:44And the Pacers especially have...
07:01From the spinners, there is Aki Lusain.
07:11Up past...
07:13Up past...
07:1595 for four.
07:16A city should...
07:20Straight away, the sweep.
07:22And we talk about...
07:24Game.
07:28He's hit it so straight that even Jason Holder with his long strides can't get there.
07:37Yes!
07:42Boundary did well in the end.
07:45Again down the ground, more power.
07:55There, on the leg side, the partnership bludgeoned the targeting straight.
08:02Who would have maybe had the blueprint of your key wicket-takers today?
08:07Potentially can be sensitive.
08:10Ready to score three.
08:15To call a miss.
08:18And it does mean by the leg side, and this is as opposed to running a...
08:22Particularly if you're...
08:28Left hander, leg side.
08:32Long time.
08:35So good when you have the power.
08:39That two.
08:42Less intentional.
08:44Desperate for the over.
08:45But...
08:47Listening to your question to share.
08:49Swestini's team, you think about the bet.
08:51It's not a relax on one or two.
08:55This is critical, folks.
08:57Remember...
08:58Far one, two, two, four, four.
09:07Reclaiming what?
09:10Batting.
09:11Pro...
09:12Where they scored off a level of awareness in...
09:16So much about rotation.
09:17And they've found all these are in.
09:21Oh, situation.
09:23What did they have?
09:24They have seen the West...
09:27In the air, and gone.
09:29Ruston Chase again.
09:34The noose from Chase.
09:38Partnership broken.
09:39Someone who have misbehaved off the pitch.
09:43Ruston Chase.
09:46He has seen the game on one-twenty-five for five.
09:53His transformation.
09:55Is for what the batsman is.
09:58Gets away with that one.
09:59just has that feel that got player on the wall hitting the gap again another
10:05even to the 17th over you get teachana and has a ring on about it try to get
10:13down the ground and straight and big and long and six just wasn't sure off the
10:20back it has to be forced up on you in to the scoreboard and still go straight so
10:25you're unstuck on more seventeen hundred and thirty five tells a story seen a
10:31three in t20 crew and he was going to enforce the list to have somebody with
10:37that need the bunker you take that will you
10:49a flash a flurry high pace and he's a mini hit the deck on
10:55that test four kilometers power
11:01yes I'll be enough this is they're on this on
11:12it's high I don't think he has enough
11:15the whole time here pouches it
11:17Rodman Powell
11:20with the adulation of the crowd behind him
11:22he appreciates
11:24dismantled Chimera to the crew
11:26and this
11:29and then we spoke about in part green this over two dots at the strike
11:33you get the in but in forty one for seven
11:44this is quality
11:59and some people me up the lot about six deliveries
12:05for school
12:06all right ball is in the glove
12:15it was well played fifty one off thirty
12:20he's the way news get it predictable with the y'all
12:24that's what we spoke about when you back
12:27absolutely fantastic
12:29but he from jail
12:31restrict insurance
12:33kettle
12:34hope the couple of occasions has started well
12:38the sector back
12:39the partnership only partnership
12:42it
12:43and as we've seen surpassing and breaching that
12:46a vibrant cut the top by Nisanka and Kusi
12:49somewhat of a faltering middle-over effort
12:53from Chilanka given the way they started
12:57as She-Hope making his way down those steps
13:00but still these will require a good start with him
13:03along with Brandon King
13:04who was waiting on him
13:06alongside me Jimmy Adams
13:08good night to you Jimmy
13:11as the line gets him going
13:13him to start seeing good bounce as well
13:16She-Hope now to face
13:19Brandon King a bit
13:20he know that
13:21that pop
13:27backwards square as his cover
13:28and then
13:31to the right-handed She-Hope
13:35it's a hole of this one
13:39the first boundary comes up
13:41off the bat of the skipper
13:43for She-Hope
13:54Fire
13:58Nicely worked
14:08It's using the pace of Chimera.
14:13Pulling this one, it's a real and it's gone.
14:17So hit high up on the butt of King and Chimera and Sri Lanka strikes.
14:23In fact, there is a right in the block hole.
14:30With an excellent rip.
14:34Top shot there from She-Hope.
14:38Elevation was key to that shot.
14:41Tenkit touched the rope, but they'll have it.
14:51And the finger goes up as well.
14:57It was more than an appeal.
14:59It was much more like a celebration from Mudushanka.
15:02But King is challenging this decision.
15:15Then he pulls this.
15:18Majestically to the arm.
15:20Onside.
15:21And to give them a...
15:23Kind.
15:24Won't get to this more like the Brandon King.
15:27First delivery in the world from...
15:28And two more to...
15:31Onside.
15:32That perhaps it might...
15:34Gettable.
15:35But I don't...
15:38Sublime.
15:41So gorgeous.
15:42Such a visual splendor when he gets go...
15:46Swires high.
15:47It's in the air.
15:48But it's gone.
15:49Far enough.
15:50And done.
15:52A little bit officially, but in the gap.
15:55Some cheers for the field to do, but...
15:58He won't win.
15:58That race.
16:02Badly lined.
16:03And swatted away to the left side.
16:06So King, after a bit of luck...
16:08Is getting...
16:13Just working on the bar.
16:15It would clear.
16:16Easily.
16:16Aiming to hit over.
16:18Still two important runs.
16:22Bit of risk.
16:23A good contest here.
16:26This one has picked up.
16:28This one has been pulverized.
16:30To the left side.
16:32Look out there.
16:33Oh, Carol Williams.
16:37Because...
16:37Back anytime soon, Stacy.
16:40King.
16:42It's sweet.
16:43Let's enjoy this college.
16:45A kookaburra cricket ball to...
16:49And again.
16:51Oh, that is...
16:52Some hitting.
16:54From King.
16:57From King.
16:57An execution.
16:58Because here enjoying it.
17:01Chimira.
17:07Equal amongst the four.
17:09Rise.
17:10Of the...
17:11Of his front.
17:13And a shape Samuel.
17:15They've been...
17:16What has impressed me the more.
17:18She-Hope with all of his...
17:21And I just wonder how...
17:22Immaculate power play.
17:25That's four of them.
17:28Another bonger.
17:28To the skipper.
17:30Classy as always.
17:35Running hard between the wickets.
17:38By on the ship and King.
17:40By on the ship and King.
17:40From nice looking shots.
17:42But...
17:42And just before that.
17:45Sri Lanka got off.
17:46First wicket.
17:50The next challenge for the rest.
17:53Woo!
17:55Come on!
17:57Come on!
17:57Hasaranga.
17:58And a familiar celebration.
18:02A familiar celebration.
18:05We've seen...
18:06For Brandon King.
18:07Through the kick.
18:07Woo!
18:08Between Longo.
18:09This is an...
18:10Spin.
18:13Tuck into the leg side.
18:15Forcing him to hit in.
18:16How much.
18:19The good.
18:20The good.
18:21On a...
18:23Some embroidery.
18:26Down the ground.
18:27Full toss.
18:28He draws the fielder.
18:30And a boundary for Hetmeyer.
18:32It was a gift from Hasaranga.
18:36Big again.
18:38Big enough.
18:41Six from Shimron.
18:46He does at this point.
18:48Anything close to him.
18:49Which is my all rest.
18:51Somewhere to decide in the game.
18:55Him as well.
18:56Shea Hope is not...
18:57He's watched.
18:58To act it.
18:59More often than not.
19:00Shamira at his hut.
19:04Rest in his phone.
19:10A digital well run.
19:11Just a three position.
19:13So he's very...
19:15It's where you're setting the game up.
19:16Round for nine.
19:19All right.
19:19We're celebrating them this year.
19:21Look who I've got here at Sabahina Park.
19:22J-Rest, I'll start with you.
19:23It feels good, to be honest.
19:25They had work over the years.
19:27I can't say that I want to be out there.
19:29I'm happy to be watching them doing that.
19:32That's a six inspired by Yu Shea-Holfe down the ground.
19:36Delivery. How does cricket fit in?
19:39I definitely think the government is definitely getting back.
19:42You know, blowing their arms.
19:45We see plenty of those fours in the CPL as well.
19:48Definitely. I think when you look and see the stance.
19:53Yeah, yeah, definitely. We're working on it.
19:54We're definitely representing Jamaica.
19:57It's straight to the fielder. It's a wicket.
19:59Shea-Holfe, after all of the fireworks, has been dismissed.
20:02And it's silence in the crowd at Sabina.
20:07Second wicket, last.
20:09Mzorf, everyone raves up.
20:12Ugly, unwarranted.
20:13We'll know as well. They're on position a sniff from 24.
20:19The intent at all. That's on the strike rate.
20:22A little straighter than the other.
20:24Adjustment.
20:25This is where Westernies know.
20:27Oh.
20:28Oh.
20:28With Sri Lanka in turn.
20:30Then already hitting.
20:32Yeah.
20:33A dot delivery.
20:34On the list in turn.
20:36Totally phenomenal.
20:37But they.
20:38Not.
20:39Is that they can clear.
20:41Oh.
20:41Squeeze starts.
20:43Still less than a runner ball.
20:46One.
20:46One.
20:46But all is well.
20:48As it is.
20:49Time for anger.
20:50As it is.
20:51As it is.
20:51We know the threat.
20:52But facing.
20:54An intractor.
20:56Give them any more wickets.
20:58But if he can be on this serve.
21:01No.
21:02Just.
21:03Another ball.
21:11One of the things I noticed.
21:13A lot of.
21:13Shans.
21:14One of the things I noticed.
21:14Was Tim Deans here.
21:16Oh.
21:18Oh.
21:18Going past the outside.
21:19It.
21:20Oh.
21:21Did it or was it another carambo.
21:23The building.
21:25Two from the.
21:27One on one for two.
21:29For washed out.
21:32For a malinga.
21:34But also have the occasion.
21:36Very effective in this format.
21:37Of this.
21:41As.
21:41Back in.
21:43Oh.
21:44You're going to say.
21:47Like.
21:48That has pronounced.
21:49To get.
21:50Under the bat.
21:50And game position.
21:51The way it's coming out.
21:53The short ball.
21:56But that time.
21:57Going for the short.
21:58Kilometers.
21:59Dropping.
22:00Delivery.
22:01Hit.
22:02Inca.
22:03One on five for two.
22:04Is.
22:05Grand.
22:07Oh yeah.
22:0857 wickets out of the world.
22:09Isha Malinga.
22:10Who this looks.
22:11Oh.
22:11Oh yeah.
22:12Isha Malinga.
22:13That was coming through.
22:14Will Alaga seem and pace on the ball.
22:16I have many.
22:19Really good move.
22:20Because.
22:20Listen that West Indies might try.
22:23Ugly.
22:24And the leg break.
22:25Where the ball is being released by.
22:28It's very hard to pick.
22:30That's around guys.
22:32Group level as a.
22:34Turn him into a leg spinner.
22:37This.
22:38Wins early on.
22:40Last year against Australia.
22:43So what they're doing now is create five balls, just 13 runs.
22:48It's a shot he's added to his arsenal, Sheho.
22:51It takes immense skill and fitting that it takes him to a twelfth tee-twent.
22:59Short.
23:02He decides to follow it up with a...
23:05And look, there's the priority for maintaining that power and backyard.
23:10Oh, Ratanayaka.
23:13Just 20 runs from the lap.
23:20It's falling to Hasaranga.
23:2331 from 20.
23:26We had in the power play has been batting well.
23:30Plays there until the end.
23:31In terms of, you need a brand of cricket, we have seen...
23:37Ruston Chase will sweep as well, losing too many more wickets.
23:44Happens from the situation.
23:46There's...
23:47Home in the end, wicket.
23:5028 from...
23:55We call a troll from the captain.
23:58Just...
23:59He...
24:01And guess what?
24:03He replies...
24:04In the most...
24:06Clean them out.
24:08What a riposte from Malinga.
24:11Bangla target six and out.
24:15And I suppose the crowd, they're celebrating...
24:18There's a roar for this man.
24:20A son of the soil.
24:23Yoke at full.
24:31Is there a view?
24:33I think he's gone for it.
24:36And so we'll need some assistance from upstairs.
24:40Decision upheld.
24:42A little bit of tail.
24:43Quite surprised.
24:46Mark Ruffman Powell.
24:48One for Captain Cushion.
24:53Question is...
24:54Would...
24:55Need...
24:55She hope.
25:00For more than...
25:01Been faced as many...
25:03Searching for another...
25:08I'm working with back in Trinidad...
25:10Said She hope.
25:13That's the bomb.
25:15You create your own lock.
25:16Spritly kneaded.
25:19She...
25:19Square leg.
25:20This format.
25:22Rob Man Powell.
25:24Muscling it.
25:25Westin is here.
25:26In the full.
25:27Batted Rob Man Powell.
25:28Him as well.
25:29And Westin is...
