Re: Senior NAT Discussion
West Indies NAT Season 55 One Day Tour: Division 1: Summary
The first tour of the new One-Day Cycle concluded yesterday and finished with West Indies finishing second-place in Division 1 as a rather poor performance against United Arab Emirates on the opening day saw West Indies fall 4 points short of UAE who eventually finished top of the pile and won the Division 1 honours.
A rather iffy bowling performance on sunny/uneven in retrospect as we leaked 179 after opting to bowl first. Chasing 180, we fell 0/3 immediately and were then barely awaiting the inevitable as a 80 run loss plummeted us to the bottom with horrid net run rate.
Day 2 was against the Proteas on another uneven deck but the clouds made bowling first a bit more favourable than they did on day one. Thomas Kanhai impressed with a 4-fer and the evergreen Cecil Griffith drew a crunch sixty in a 136-run chase as the 31 year old's patience came to the fore yet again.
Following day, we played the Scots and we allowed them to cross 250 on an uneven deck and set ourselves a chase that required players to play beyond their skin and the Scots to make more than a few mistakes. Josiah Mason and Oswald Cornwall played unbelievable hands but we fell thirty short in the end.
Our first and only non-uneven pitch was against the Aussies, where we were playing on a crumbler. The dibbly-dobbler trundles were the biggest threat for us as the medium pacer picked up 4 scalps. but impressive thirties from Ordelmo Watt and Walter Frederick took us to 143. Ordelmo Watt impressed with the new ball duties as he picked up three scalps despite being taken for a few. Dane Small and Abdul Hakim Murad's impressive under-2 economies allowed Don Carlo Gambino to attack and pick up 4 scalps in a 17-run victory.
Day Five was against a side that had made it a habit of smacking us in the previous season in Bermuda, and Nizam al-Mulk was vary of that. He played a cautious 74 on an uneven deck with clouds in the sky whilst Josiah Mason piled on with 72 from barely 59 balls as West Indies got a mammoth 269 on board. Clinical bowling with Thomas Kanhai picking his 4th three-fer in 5 games meant West Indies won the fixture by a 112 runs and managed to overtake the Scots and Aussies on net run rate to finish second and scalp 16 crucial World Cup qualification points.
Performers of the Tour
Josiah Mason's had one of the most impressive tours with a brilliant 63 from 69 balls against the Scots and a 72 from 59 balls against the 'Mudans as the debutant has proven that the buzz around him as a prospect in the West Indian circuits wasn't just hype.
Thomas Kanhai picked up ten scalps in the tour with 2 four-wicket hauls and a 2-fer, which, in his five games, is his only performance where he has picked under three wickets.
Solid effort finishing second, hopefully we can better it next time around with the One Day Division 1 set to feature UAE, Aussies, Scots, USA and Sri Lanka alongside us.
But up next is the Twenty-20 tour, where we stand in Division 2 alongside India, Ireland, England, Bermuda and Bangladesh and look to confirm our participation in the biennial Twenty-20 World Cup.
Thanks for allowing us to tour your lads and cheers:)

West Indies NAT Season 55 Twenty-20 Tour: Division 2: Squad Announcement
Rainy day fives your thing? We'll be heading to England next week for the Twenty-20 tour and the hope is that English weather will yet again haunt England next week and help us out. India, Ireland, Bangladesh and Bermuda are the other four sides hoping for the same.

Ahmed Sencer Space Wolves Right-arm Medium/ Right-hand Bat
Andy Hampson Pink Flag Right-arm Fast [DEBUT]
Carl Charles Exiles Left-hand Keeper Bat

West Indies are heading six debuts in the upcoming Twenty-20 tour. Veteran batters Kenroy Eddy and Warwick Pascall come in with a contention for the upcoming Twenty-20 World Cup, whilst young bowling options in Andy Hampson, Lloyd Verwayen and Dadrian Polius come in to prepare the setup for a change of guard. The sixth debut is for a highly-talked prospect in the circuits in Nick Allflatt. Manager allflatious pulled and trained him alongside many more top-notch West Indian lads, and whilst he has left the game at the minute, his contributions are always appreciated as well.
The five fixtures shall be:
match 6591121 vs India- July 31- Green pitch
match 6591116 vs Bermuda- August 1- Crumbling pitch

Re: Senior NAT Discussion
West Indies NAT Season 55 Twenty-20 Tour: Division 2: Summaries
The Twenty-20 tour occurred over the previous week as West Indies finished third on the table for their third consecutive Twenty-20 tour with a scoreline of two victories, two losses and a tie. For the second consecutive tour, West Indies also cherished starting their tour with a couple brilliant victories, before losing a close encounter to Ireland (both of which I'll argue to the end of time I should've won had the wrath of the ME not shone its dirty face onto me), then losing by a convincing margin on day 4 and finishing with a tie on Day 5. Intriguing coincidence or is the game just torturing me at this point, eitherways, happy to survive at the least.
Day 1 against India saw impressive returns from Ahmed Sencer and Thomas Kanhai with the ball before debutant Warwick Pascall and veteran Chesney Persaud smoked a fifty each in an unbeaten opening stand.
Day 2 against the Bermudan side saw Thomas Kanhai rampage through the side with a fifer whilst Andy Hampson also had an enjoyable debut. Nick Allflatt impressed with a quickfire start in rather tough conditions to ensure the chase hit no roadblocks.
Day 3 against the Ireland unit, we were put into bat and Nick Allflatt and Josiah Mason starred with a thirty apiece, getting 107 onboard. Geoffrey Austin impressed with the new ball whilst Keith Joseph had a fine day out himself, but Andy Balbirnie stitched together 18 runs off the last two overs batting with the number eleven as he took his side home from a rather unlikely position.
Bangladesh on Day 4 decided it was the reserved day of the tour where medos decide to decimate West Indies, and that is enough about that.
Day 5 against the home side England was a game where the winner was surviving and loser very well could demote, so we decided to be better friends and tie it out so that the both of us could survive. Carl Charles' magnificent 43 after walking in at 31/5 has to be given its due credit.
Performers of the tour:
Chesney Persaud finished West Indies' highest run-getter with his 76, much thanks to his 70* game one, as he managed 6 from his next three outings combined. Thomas Kanhai finished the tours' top bowler with 8 scalps, but Keith Joseph, Geoffrey Austin, Ahmed Sencer and Dinanath Challenger were closing in with 6 each as well. Kanhai, Joseph and Austin also managed to be in the top 5 highest fantasy point gainers for the tour.
Up next will be another Division One SOD tour wherein we'll look to gain enough points and confirm World Cup qualification at the least which will be followed by the Twenty-20 World Cup wherein we'll be heading in as the defending champions.

West Indies NAT Season 55 One Day Tour 2: Division 1: Squad Announcement
Did West Indies just win the tour bid? And that on a bid that wasn't even worth 1/6th of the points we had? maybe too much insider info but the last few bids we've won have been worth more than 2/3rd's of our treasury so i'll rejoice in winning the tour bid and we'll ignore if the results do not go our way.
It is a uneven, crumbling, hard week as Meinkadett Arena and the entirety of the top clubs in West Indies get ready to host the upcoming tour over the next week on ten uneven decks, 3 crumblers and 2 hards.
The eighteen lads set to tour this time include:
Abdul Hakim Murad Space Wolves Right-arm Wrist Spin/ Right-hand Bat

Ben Matthews, a highly talked prospect has had to wait his time unfortunately to get the Windies jersey but he'll be the only debutant in our upcoming tour. Andy Hampson, Nick Allflatt and Ahmed Sencer have held onto their spots from the Twenty-20 tour as they represent the four changes in the unit from the side that went to Scotland earlier this season on the same pitches. Ordelmo Watt, Nizam al-Mulk, Keith Joseph and Geoffrey Austin sit out as al-Mulk and Watt have closed the chapters on their international 50-over careers and their service toward the team has been truly special and appreciable.
The five fixtures shall be:
match 6592911 vs Sri Lanka- August 21- Hard pitch

Re: Senior NAT Discussion
West Indies NAT Season 55 One Day Tour 2: Division 1: Summaries
Game one was against the Lankans and Steve Kanhai starred with a wonderful 98 but his dismissal sparked a collapse that saw us burn to the ground and fall short in what was going a smooth chase until said point.
Game two, we were up against the Aussies and Abdul Hakim Murad impressed with a four-fer and Chesney Persaud's unbeaten century meant we were able to get our first points.
Game three, the Scots wrecked ten of our lads apart whilst Andy Hampson plucked a six-fer out of thin air, introducing himself well on the international stage. Nick Allflatt and Trent Cotchin played a decent hand in an improbable attempt at the chase, and played appreciable hands.
Game 4, the Emiratis batted first and got hit by the man having an absolute blast as Abdul Hakim Murad picked five to get UAE cleaned for 172 with a top score of 37. Nick Allflatt played another decent hand and skipper Nichollas Rampersad saw the chase off fairly well for the second Windies win of the tour.
The Americans were the last challenge and Cecil Griffith took his chance in this elimination match as his 70 and Walter Frederick's fifty took West Indies to a formidable total and Andy Hampson with his 4-fer ensured the game ended in a victory.
The Meinkadett Arena also saw its ends renamed during the previous tour to Wolfberries Too End and Exiles End to honour their respective impressive cup runs.
West Indies finished third in the tour and survived Division 1. Andy Hampson and Abdul Hakim Murad had particularly impressive tours picking thirteen and twelve scalps apiece.
Up next would be the T20 World Cup in a few weeks, fingers crossed we go alright there.

Re: Senior NAT Discussion
West Indies NAT Season 55 World T20: Summaries
Game one began against the Canadians and two southpaw keepers laid out impressive performances with the bat to take us to 141 in our twenty after being put into bat. Steve Kanhai hit 48 whilst Carl Charles finished with a wonderful 29 at 223.08 with three cracking fours. The three spinners combined for 8-41 in 68 balls and simply strangled the Canadian unit.
Game two, Andy Hampson began with a double-wicket over against the Dutch on a flat deck and West Indies never let go of the early lead. Abdul Hakim Murad picked four, Cecil Griffith scored a brisk 33 and Nick Allflatt fell three short of a fifty in a dominant six wicket victory. Dane Small continued being economical as his combined figures for the two fixtures read 8-1-25-3 leaking at a touch over three.
Game three, the Bangladeshi unit against us on a crumbling deck and their openers raced away to a brisk start. Ben Matthews, who had come in with a reputation of being an able wicket taker through the middle picked an impressive four-fer whilst Don Carlo Gambino leaked just 12 off his four as Bangladesh finished one short of the three-figure mark in their twenty. Failures from the openers had West Indies under the tank but Trent Cotchin and Nichollas Rampersad hit able thirties to take West Indies over the line.
Game four was the West Indians against the American lads, and Dinanath Challenger started by cleaning both openers for golden ducks. Thomas Kanhai followed his fiery start by picking his second fifer in five games as the lad continues to prove to be unplayable on his day. Corey Floyd with his two maximums hit 45 at a rate of 150 and took the total to 125 making the chase a slight bit tougher for the West Indian unit. Chesney Persaud and Trent Cotchin were amongst the runs but the West Indian unit fell seven runs short in the chase.
Cecil Griffith was impressive against the Kiwi unit on Day 5 with 36 runs taking the West Indian total to 96. The Kiwi bats were able to get hold of the West Indian quicks with the new ball but Dane Small continued his very impressive run with the ball as his tournament figures read 11.5-3-30-6, leaking at a touch over 2.5 an over with an average of 5. Don Carlo Gambino also helped with 2-10 in his four and West Indies were able to qualify for the semi-finals.
West Indies were slotted to play on the new mystique of an even surface against the Irish side. The West Indian spinners got smacked a fair bit as the Irish side got to a 170 and the West Indian bats were simply never in the chase in what finished the tourney for the Windies lads.
A decent season overall, would've liked to go further in the World T20 and defend the title but oh, well, an even surface's mystery did make the semi-finals a bit of a gamble for us with the orders so i can't be too fussed but we did perhaps seem to err with a few choices.
The West Indian International Ground has also been renamed the Caterham Crusaders Arena in the celebration of Caterham Crusaders One Day Division 1 title in the West Indian leagues.
Up next we enter into Season 56 with a Division 1 tour to start it all off in a few weeks. The squad overhaul should happen in a few days while as well.
