TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

This is it - for all the marbles. The Caribbean Crusaders and Kandy Lions get together Sunday at The Nest in what will likely be an absolute slugfest. The Crusaders won the round-robin match between the teams and forced the Lions to win the Semi-Final against the Magpies, which they did thanks to an inspired century from the recently recalled wicketman. It'll be interesting to see if any of the bowlers can restrict anyone.

For the first time in BigCricket history, the over-by-over updates will be posted LIVE as they happen here on BigCricket starting at 22:00 GMT on Sunday. Hopefully you can join us, I'm sure it'll be worth your time.

Re: TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

Hello, and welcome to THE NEST for the Championship Final of the Season Four TwentyFive25 Tournament! We're just inside of an hour until game time and the crowd is slowly filing into the stadium, ready to enjoy a hard-hitting evening of cricket. The weather is a bit of a question, and the play may be delayed somewhat. There are showers passing over, but they should not hang around all night. We'll let you know if there is any delay.

When there is cricket being played, we will carry it LIVE as it happens right here.
 
Re: TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

The opening of play has been delayed by rain. The covers have yet to be removed as drizzle is sitting atop the ground right now. Looking at the weather maps, it seems as though this will pass in the next 90 minutes or so, at which point we may be ready to play some cricket. Since this is a championship match there will definitely be a full 25 over match played, regardless of how late we have to go!
 
Re: TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

The rain seems to have moved off to the East now, and the groundsmen are on the way to take off the covers now. Provided the rains stay away, and the umpires are happy with the condition of the ground, we will probably have play here in the next half-hour or so. While you're waiting, here are the teams for today's game - any predictions???

Crusaders XI: Spell_Check, Blue Red & Gold, Squiz, OHHH NO BALL!!!!, imported_mike, Philhawk, Bluto11, Leg Spinning Sensation, ItalianStallion, Bowling Shane, Ljp86

Lions XI: miggles, wicketman, ollie73, The Flamin' Mongrel, Mudassar Nazar, Jerk, Stamislav, Cleazer, Wilbix, eddiesmith, rumblah

Re: TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

The umpires have made their inspection, and at 2315 GMT play will begin. The revised hours of play are as follows (using the over rate of 2 minutes/over):

2315-0005 - Session 1
0005-0015 - Interval
0015-0105 - Session 2

Toss Ljp86 tosses the coin, Stamislav calls Tails.....and it's Tails! The Kandy Lions have won the toss, and will bat first in about 10 minutes.
 
Re: TwentyFive25 Championship Final: Caribbean Crusaders v Kandy Lions

Here we go! The Crusaders are out on the field huddling up, and following them come miggles and wicketman. It will be miggles taking guard and getting ready to face the first delivery. Ljp86 has paced off his mark, he's got the ball himself to get started. And here he comes......
