Coach Gordon Greenidge says he is making no excuses for Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel's poor showing in their first two matches of the Caribbean Premier League Twenty20.However the former West Indies opener and cricket legend says he is hoping for better returns in their home games starting tonight.The Red Steel lost to the Guyana Amazon Warriors in their tournament opener before being blown away by the Barbados Tridents over the weekend.
With five matches to play in the preliminary round of the competition, the Red Steel are hoping to turn their fortunes around if they are to have any chance of advancing to the semi-finals.They tackle the Jamaica Tallawahs at Queen's Park Oval tonight in the first of three home matches."Hopefully, come Wednesday we can put that first win under our belts and move on to Friday and Sunday," Greenidge said.
"Trinidad have performed exceptionally over the years in T20 games. As a matter of fact, Trinidad in the last eight years or so has been perhaps the mainstay in the regional cricket in the Caribbean. The players are not new to this".Red Steel also face Guyana Amazon Warriors on Friday and the Antigua Hawkbills on Sunday at the Queen's Park oval.
