KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – Destructive spells from pacer Raneico Smith and left-arm spinner Nathan Sealy followed up solid batting and handed Barbados an innings and nine runs win against Trinidad & Tobago in the Cricket West Indies Rising Stars Men’s Under-19 three-day championship yesterday in St Vincent.
Individual hundreds for opener Malique Walsh and teammate Jewel Andrew enabled Leeward Islands to take first innings lead against Jamaica on the second day of second round matches, while Guyana staged a fightback with half-centuries from Mavendra Dindyal and Shamar Yearwood after they conceded a narrow first innings lead against hosts Windward Islands.
AT PARK HILL: Smith grabbed four for 24 from 7.4 overs, and Sealy snared four for 28 from 15 overs, ending with match figures of 10 for 65, and Barbados bowled out T&T for 110 in their second innings to clinch a two-day win.
Earlier, Joshua Dorne hit the top score of 91, opener Achilles Browne supported with 51, and Sealy completed a tidy all-round performance with 34, and Barbados were dismissed for 284 to claim a first innings lead of 119.
AT CUMBERLAND: Walsh struck 15 fours and two sixes in the top score of 147 from 254 balls, and Andrew made 126 from 150 balls that included 15 fours and two sixes, and Leewards piled up a first innings total of 345 to gain a lead of 48.
The pair led the resistance for the Leewards in the face of a destabilising spell of four for 26 from Deshawn James.
Jamaica reached 34 without loss in their second innings at the close, still trailing by 14.
AT ARNOS VALE: Dindyal led the way with 77 and Yearwood made 64, and the Guyanese were 229 for six in their second innings when stumps were drawn for a lead of 212.
Tarrique Edwards was the pick of the Windwards bowlers, taking three for 72 from 26 overs to follow up his first innings five-wicket haul.
Windwards have only themselves to blame after they were bowled out for 86, in reply to the Guyana first innings lead of 69.
Off-spinner Jonathan Rampersaud undermined the Windwards batting with five for 18 from 15.5 overs.
