01:59 Well, better late than never, it's pretty in pink this morning.
02:02 Good morning, it is time to get the big engine started.
02:06 Am I missing something this morning? Oh yes, I definitely am.
02:09 [Alarm]
02:13 It is the Bull Them Out Cricket Show, I'm your host James Saunders.
02:16 And we move right up as we've got a rest day today, but the action never stops.
02:20 And as such, we've got a bumper show for you.
02:23 Well, today we look back at the tournament, see what's hot, what's not.
02:27 Look ahead to the land of flying fish Barbados.
02:29 And as usual, we peek behind the curtain to get behind the scenes to get some good old talk between friends.
02:35 It is the Bull Them Out Cricket Show.
02:38 [Alarm]
02:41 [Music]
02:46 Well, I got my sunshine snack, good morning alarm clock.
02:49 [Alarm]
02:50 And we start with a bang this morning because we've got a good show.
02:53 Let's start with the points table, no matches today.
02:55 So, let's see where all the teams stack up.
02:58 And look at that, fourth place TKR after languishing at the bottom for much of the tournament.
03:04 They've moved up into fourth position.
03:06 But let's start where we should really start at the top of the pile, they said Lucia Kings.
03:10 They've played more than everybody.
03:11 Five matches, two wins, one loss and two no results.
03:15 Of course, that was due to rain.
03:16 They stay at the top of the standings.
03:18 The Ghana Amazon Warriors are third.
03:20 That's where my friend John Ramsing is from, by the way.
03:22 And Jamaica Talawas, they languish in third.
03:27 At the bottom, all the flying fish men, the Barbados Royals and the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots who,
03:33 well, they're crying wee, wee, wee all the way home at the moment because they are at the bottom.
03:38 No wins.
03:40 All right, I hope you like my pink jersey this morning.
03:42 And I'll tell you what we're going to do right now.
03:45 We're going to go behind the scenes because we have been following Team TKR, what they've been up to.
03:51 And they're in a good mood these days after getting a win in their last match against the Patriots.
03:56 And we go behind the scenes now between a battle, not on the field, but off the field,
04:00 between Puran and the champion boy himself, Dane Bravo.
04:04 [MUSIC]

04:24 [MUSIC]
04:34 [MUSIC]
04:44 [MUSIC]
04:54 [MUSIC]
05:04 [MUSIC]
05:07 >> So champion at TKR 29, right?
05:11 >> You all didn't get to see that display just now.
05:14 I'm going to give all the ball, my ball coming at you.
05:16 I hit him, leg, leg, leg, leg.
05:18 >> Wide, wide, wide, wide.
05:19 >> Yeah, no problem.
05:20 >> Wide, wide, wide, wide.
05:21 >> Right, right, right.
05:22 See his hands.
05:23 Deep point, deep cover.
05:24 He said, right, that one.
05:26 And he didn't go into, and I hit him, back in the leg.
05:28 Leg, leg, leg.
05:29 Ball, no.
05:31 >> All right, well, then that's a new dance from DJ Bravo after he's never given me any credit for the
05:35 "Bull Them Out" dance, but a sub-champion doing his stuff, getting Nicholas Puran,
05:40 who by the way is one of the most informed players in the West Indies camp at the moment.
05:44 Just to give you a little context about that video you just saw, you might remember in the post-match after the Patriots
05:50 match, Nicholas Puran said that Dwayne Bravo is going on to 65, although he identifies as 29.
05:56 So the champion boy getting some revenge.
05:59 Well, I'll tell you what, I'm going to get some revenge on my good friend John Ramsey, who isn't wearing pink like me this morning.
06:04 John, you're wearing your Ghana Amazon Warriors flag this morning.
06:10 You must feel really good because you're in third position at the moment in the standings.
06:19 John Ramsey?
06:20 Well, I think John's flag is covering his ears at the moment.
06:23 Good morning, John.
06:25 Welcome to the "Bull Them Out" cricket show.
06:27 John is looking all over the place right now.
06:29 Hopefully we can get him to hear us eventually.
06:33 So we will instead come back to John in just a bit.
06:37 He's got to move that flag, it's covering his ears this morning.
06:40 All right, so what we're going to do, we're going to head to some more behind the scenes segments.
06:47 And we check this out.
06:59 Is he an LS? It's always great to see an LS in game. He's a Fortune 55.
07:05 It's good to make it big. And that's what happens in the game.
07:10 Even Kyron Pollard did this to me. Look how happy he is.
07:13 What's so happy?
07:15 You see how happy I made him? I made him say...
07:28 Anything for the seniors, eh?
07:30 Some good stuff with the TKR men.
07:44 I need to get myself a TKR jersey, by the way.
07:47 I'm in pink this morning. I look good, but I prefer a TKR jersey.
07:51 What will look good is when we come back from the other side of the break,
07:54 because we've got some more good stuff for you.
07:56 I'll leave it right here. It's a Bulldog World cricket show.

10:51 Yeah. Yep.
11:09 [Music]
11:18 Alright, welcome back to the Bulldog World cricket show right here on TV6,
11:21 where we analyze everything that is CBL.
11:24 Well, I'll tell you what, the big talking point, if you looked at that match between the Trinbago Knight Riders
11:29 and the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots was that red card, where Kyron Pollard and the TKR,
11:35 they lost a fielder, and they also lost, well, they were able to head to the poor play part of the segment initially,
11:43 where they've only got two players outside of the circle.
11:47 Now, that has been a big talking point with Kyron Pollard openly expressing his displeasure at the decision.
11:52 Let's listen to what he had to say.
11:54 I see the new rules and the new innovation that has come about, you know, cost us about 25 or 30 runs in the end,
12:01 and, you know, to be honest, you know, I think it's going to take away the hard work the guys would have done throughout the innings.
12:07 One minute down, and you have guys coming in, and then the entry guys out with a guy off the field,
12:11 I think we've just given away runs for cricket in four and for sats.
12:15 How do you then, going forward, how do you overcome that?
12:18 Because it's not something anyone wants to have continuously in matches. How do you get that right?
12:23 I don't know. We just continue to play cricket as we know how to play, and if that's going to determine matches,
12:27 and that's what they want to see, well, then we just have to go.
12:29 We are like the pawns in the whole environment here, so we're just going to do what we are told.
12:33 We're going to try to play cricket to the best of our ability, try to play as fast as we can,
12:37 but I think being penalized for 30 seconds and 45 seconds and things like that in a tournament like this,
12:43 I think is absolutely ridiculous.
12:45 Absolutely ridiculous. The words of Kieron Pollard, and well, can you hear the tone of his voice?
12:50 Hopefully, I'll get to discuss that with John, but first, let's go to a lighter moment as the Barbados Royals,
12:56 well, they were spotted by our spotters on a boat singing a song. Let's listen to it.
13:02 [Music]
13:10 [Music]
13:31 [Music]
13:44 Well, let's hope that is not currently in Barbados right now.
13:47 We don't need any more St. Lucia moments in terms of rain happening there, but good stuff from Jason Hoover and the lads.
13:53 All right, well, we've always wondered what goes into making a good commentator.
13:58 Well, right in St. Lucia, I had the opportunity to speak to one of the voices that has been the song track of the CPL for many, many years,
14:07 Danny Morrison. Had a chat with him in this two-part series, and well, let's listen in.
14:12 I've got to tell you, I'm home. I am finally at home. Look at this place. Ah, loving.
14:23 And he's dancing totally out of timing with the goats.
14:27 All right, guys, so we're here with Danny Morrison, of course. His voice is one of the song tracks, almost, of the Republic Bank CPL.
14:34 Danny, you're here. How's it been, CPL 2023?
14:38 It's been a little damp, hasn't it? But I'm not complaining because it just cools things off a little bit.
14:43 But as ever, I mean, what a great crowd. And then if the weather isn't being smiling, then you've got the DJ doing his thing and the vibes here, so it's quite good.
14:54 Well, you've been part of the CPL for quite a number of years. Your voice has become synonymous.
15:00 It's almost the backing track of the cricket that's going on. How's that been for you? How special is the CPL for you?
15:07 And how does it dictate your style of commentary?
15:10 In a way, I've grown with CPL. And so, if you like, the franchise T20 circuit has really helped me massively.
15:20 And also, I think the style of the game, the short, condensed nature of it, and I just think the vibe, particularly here, it's just so unique.
15:28 It's different from anywhere else. You know, IPL or being in Bangladesh during the Pakistan Super League, you know, the UAE, wherever, very different.
15:37 And then the other ones down under are certainly more conservative. So it lends its style to me.
15:43 I have a bit of a thespian background in terms of my mother and doing pantomime when I was 11 and 12.
15:50 So in terms of hamming it up for the camera, I don't mind because I was exposed to that when I was young.
15:57 Has it been accepted when you started? You know, your style, it's been unique. Was it accepted in the early days?
16:04 Well, it's funny. I live in Australia and I don't work down under in Australia or New Zealand. I tend to.
16:10 So my niche or regions are the Caribbean, the subcontinent, the UAE, I've done a lot of work in.
16:17 So I've embraced that and I think the people here have embraced it as well.
16:22 And so I think you grow with something like that and you change a bit with it.
16:25 So I've loved it, no doubt. And I think this tournament, it really is one of the big highlights on the calendar.
16:32 Many people see yourself as a pioneer. Do you see yourself as a pioneer in terms of your style of commentary?
16:38 Not really. I just think all of us, even some of the more elder statesmen that have maybe just been finishing,
16:45 I think they've accepted too that they've got a lot more animated.
16:48 Well, to hear some more of that, you've got to tune in on tomorrow's show where we'll have more of Danny Morrison as he explains this process with us.
16:57 All right, we're going to take a pause and when we come back, we're going to have John Ramsey with us. Keep it here.
17:02 We stop the world from the voice, the other things can't touch me 'cause we're bolder now, I say we're bolder.
17:09 OK, so Skipper Kumar and all the players are on a tea and snack break.
17:13 This break is brought to you by the traditional and delicious Chata Krumah.
17:19 It's so crunchy and irresistible, it can knock your stumps out.
17:28 No matter where the game is played, there's some things you always need.
17:32 A bat, ball, a wicket and plenty of ice cold refreshment.
17:41 Enjoy the cricket with Angus Tour Chill, the official refreshment partner of the Republic Bank CPL T20.
17:49 Angus Tour Chill. Chill. Play. Lime.
17:57 All this traffic all over. I just burn in gas sitting here, yes?
18:01 I really need a bigger TV. Look at this. I can hardly afford the basic things anymore.
18:13 My paycheck don't even go fine.
18:18 Aha! I know how I can save money.
18:24 Make the right choice for you. CNG. Switch to savings.

20:16 Welcome back to the Ball Them Out Cricket Show and I've got good news.
20:20 We've got John Ram Singh on the line. He's a cricket commentator with us and good morning, John.
20:26 I've seen your Guyanese flag on but you're a man who travels so much.
20:29 What part of the world are you right now?
20:31 Hi, Jim. Yes, good morning. Good morning to your viewers as well.
20:37 I'm actually in Guyana heading to Barbados for the rest of CPL.
20:41 Oh, you've got all the best jobs in the Caribbean right now.
20:45 Now, John, we're talking CPL and we can't talk CPL without first talking about one of the last things that happened in the last round.
20:52 Rui Cairo and Pollard, one of the first red-- in fact, the first red card that we've seen in the CPL.
20:58 Karen Pollard has openly come out and he's dismissed it. He's shared his displeasure about it.
21:04 What are your initial thoughts about what took place?
21:10 Well, I think, first of all, Pollard realized that there are rules of every tournament.
21:17 Not only Pollard, the other captains as well, the other franchise realized that CPL have made a concerted effort to keep things a bit tighter.
21:26 You know, over the years, we've seen some games going on way into the morning.
21:31 You know, and in terms of television rights, in terms of manpower and so on, it was not the best thing to have.
21:37 So they thought of a way to just keep it a little bit tighter and they have invented-- well, not invented,
21:43 they've actually implemented the red card rule and the time penalty and so on.
21:49 So it means that every franchise is exposed to the same level of fines and penalties and so on.
21:55 Unfortunately, TKR is the first site to actually suffer from this, right?
22:04 And that's why, you know, but I think it is really a good initiative of CPL to really keep things a bit tighter.
22:13 Taking everything into consideration, you want to have T20 games short, you know, but that's what it came for.
22:19 It's entertainment. I don't want to have a long, laborious game, except if it's going to be rain-affected or otherwise.
22:27 Now, in some conversation with some cricketing minds, the decision has really been split in terms of what people feel.
22:35 Who does this benefit, the time penalties?
22:38 Karen Pollard, of course, saying that fans have come out to see cricket, they're not concerned about that.
22:43 Some fans saying, well, you know, no fan sits and says, hey, this game is five minutes longer than possible.
22:48 But the CPL, of course, they've got their point as well in terms of saying that it delays the game, you know,
22:54 from their perspective, advertisers, who benefits from these rules that have been implemented?
23:02 I think it's cricket generally, because it's a product that you're selling to the world and you really want to ensure that it is what it is.
23:10 This says that if you're selling a three to four hours game, stay within that limit.
23:16 You know, some games finish early because it was a one sided game or a game that one side actually was not required to get a whole lot in their 20 hours and they can get it quickly.
23:27 Yeah, these things happen in cricket. That's part of it. Right.
23:30 But time wasting is something that they're not very pleased with.
23:33 And it happens across all formats in test cricket as well.
23:37 You have to bowl 90 hours in a day. And if you don't, you have penalties attached to that as well.
23:42 So regardless of what format it is, it is part of the game.
23:46 Like I said, cricket will benefit. Everyone in the end will know for sure that if you have an event to go to, plan for two hours, three hours.
23:54 Cricket, same thing. And I think cricket, like you said, will be the one to benefit overall.
24:00 All right, let's talk about all the good stuff that's been happening in the tournament.
24:03 We look at the standings at the moment and the St Lucia Kings, they continue to stay atop the standings.
24:08 But there has been some movement. The Guyana Amazon Warriors, your team, at least from your country,
24:13 they've moved into second at the Trinbago Knight, right, as they've jumped up two places to fourth.
24:18 What have you observed in the tournament so far? You've been to St Lucia.
24:23 You witnessed the St Kitts spot where you did commentary as well. What has been the biggest standout for you so far?
24:32 I think teams, especially local players, teams with local players, the regional players, have been doing very well.
24:40 Not all the overseas professionals so far are coming into the party just yet.
24:45 I mean, they're here, but they're not really enjoying the dance.
24:49 And that, for me, is something that I'm really proud of, to see that the locals, the regional players,
24:55 are really getting an opportunity and putting their hands up.
24:58 Gone are the days when the overseas professionals will dominate and then more or less will extend their playing time,
25:04 whether it's CPL or any other Premier League or even in the international scene.
25:09 But these local players now, they're really prepared and they're really putting their hands up.
25:14 And that, to me, is the most impressive thing I've seen so far.
25:17 I like the fact that teams are really taking advantage of situations as well.
25:23 You know, all players, when they have small venues like Waterpark, hitting the streets and boundaries,
25:31 it goes to show the mix of talent.
