Jamaica Kingsmen

[laughs] Now, all right, to add context to this, obviously we might have Rovman Powell on.

Rovman Powell, big captain of Jamaica Kingsmen, was meant to come on TCP Mash.

What's going on? Where's Rovman? Where's he at? [laughs] Man did a big...

I had to do a big social media post, [laughs] asking for questions and everything, you know? [laughs]

Yeah, but anyway, um, we, we for our Patreon listeners, we'll be dropping a CPL episode as well later today.

Keep an eye out for that about the Jamaica Kingsmen.

As always, thank you for subscribing for our Patreon.

As you said, we'll be doing more content, um, probably ahead of the second test and during the second test, definitely, and then we're straight into CPL.

Let the man at least matriculate in four day cricket.

So what should we see then? He's been called up by Jamaica Kingsmen.

So we should see him in CPL.

When Super 50 happens later in the year, you would assume that Jamaica will call him up for that.

I do want to see him in CPL for Jamaica.

I think he should get as many games as Jamaica can feasibly give him.

Although I've just seen the overseas players, the Jamaica Kingsmen have drafted and they've basically dropped.

Obviously, the people that own Jamaica are Pakistani, right? And all of their overseas players are Pakistani players.

They couldn't qualify.

So what happened in the eliminator? So JAK, the Jamaica Kingsmen, they are very ably led by former West Indian captain Roman Powell here.

And they were also very well served by their Pakistani contingent, right? Hassan Khan, Saeem Ayoub, all of these people.

So, Maas Sadakat with the bat won them the eliminator.

It is going to be Barbados Royals on the money line at the minus 154.

They're taking on the Jamaica Kingsmen.

And Barbados, easy for me to say, has won the last two against Jamaica, including by two wickets on Saturday.

I still don't know how you win by two wickets when the score, I don't get it.

He has played two first class matches, uh, since his ankle injury.

He was playing the CPL for Jamaica Kingsmen, scored a century there in hot, humid conditions where the ball stays low with a Kookaburra white ball, and then he's been parachuted to Birmingham in overcast conditions where it's in the temperatures in the teens, where you're facing Ollie Robinson, who's-- has the ball on a string with a duke's ball.

So-- And you're telling me that this is Saim Ayub's fault?

Exactly.

Then for the Guyana Amazon Warriors with the bat in hand, it was Shai Hope who would score 42 off of 35 unbeaten, and that would prove to be enough as the Guyana Amazon Warriors won by six wickets with eight balls remaining.

The Jamaica Kingsmen were taking on the Barbados Tridents, and even if they lost, they couldn't lose with a big margin because they needed net run rate to make sure they stayed ahead of the Saint Lucia Kings.

Kingsmen batting first were led by Maaz Sadeeqat, who would score 47 off of 34.

But elsewhere in that order, there was a lack of runs.
