(G.O.A.T - T20) *1980* Warmup Matches - Live!

I'm interested if a team goes vacant
You can take Barbados Tridents... Also, You can change the name, but franchise should be from West Indies...

Only @Neo 7 left to confirm regarding his participation in this league... I will wait for couple of days before finalizing Season one fixture... In mean time I like to simulate few warmup matches...

Ball 17.3 - Jon Snow to Doug Walters, Two Runs, "two, two, two" shouts batsman after punching this short ball to deep extra-cover
Ball 17.4 - Jon Snow to Doug Walters, FOUR runs, that was a poor shot! Poky outside off, hung his bat outside off and the ball went off the edge. That gap between second and fourth slip didn't help
Ball 17.5 - Jon Snow to Doug Walters, One Run, angles it on to the pads of the batter and has been tucked away to deep square for a single. The batters are just going through the motion

Ball 18.3 - Bob Willis to Dennis Lillee, dot, turning back in, Dennis Lillee turns it towards short leg
Ball 18.4 - Bob Willis to Dennis Lillee, SIX !, hey hey hey! This is audacious stuff. This is a world class bowler who is known for yorkers and you just can't put your front foot across and play a sweep shot over backward square leg.
