They are still persisting with that chucker, Pete Salmon/?

3 matches are underway,

-Barbados Pride vs Leeward Islands Hurricanes: Barbados are batting first with Kraigg and McCaskie opening, 6 without loss in the 6th over
-CCC vs Trinidad and Tobago Red Force: TT are batting first, 5 for 1 after 5 overs. Goodridge got rid of the opener Mohan for 4
-Windward Islands Volcanoes vs WI Academy: Volcanoes are 15 for 1 in the 7th over, Nyeem Young with the wicket of Jeremy Solozano

The other game starts at 11AM, Guyana Harpy Eagles vs Jamaica Scorpions.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Guyana Harpy Eagles are batting first against Jamaica Scorpions.

Tage and Perez are the openers.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Tage on 1* (21)

WTF bro...get a move on.

 

[Aidan11]

Unfair advantage here for Guyana to have three batters at the crease.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Motie is smashing them-- 30* (38), providing great support for Savory.

130/6

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The 7th wicket partnership is over 100 now. Both Motie and Savory with fifties.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Zachary McCaskie with his maiden FC century batting together with Kraigg. Looking more like he'll replace Tage at the opening slot?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is some recovery from Guyana Harpy Eagles after being 62 for 6 at one stage, inserted in to bat first by Jamaica.

Since then a total of 206 runs have been scored for the loss of 1 wicket. Kemol Savory brought up his maiden FC century and not too long after smacked the chucker Pete Salmon over the mid-wicket boundary for 2 consecutive sixes. They could have gotten him out after taking the 2nd new ball, but 2nd slip couldn't have held on to a catch that was coming to him at some rate.

Anyways, he's making them pay for it...batting until the cows come home,

Spoiler

and hopefully go on for the double-century tomorrow.

His passport will help his chances. McKenzie will need to finish the tournament well too.

Yep, Kirk needs a big one in this game to kick start things...this is the penultimate round though...

Close of Play Scores, Day One:

Guyana 278/7 (K.Savory 127*, G.Motie 56, O.Shields 3/56) vs Jamaica

Windwards 162 (J.Bishop 4/24, J.Layne 3/30), WI Academy 99/5

Barbados 248/3 (K.Brathwaite 117*, Z.McCaskie 101) vs Leewards

T&T 374/4 (J.Mohammed 157, A.Jangoo 151*, K.Ottley 47, A.Goodridge 3/37) vs CCC

The way that Barbados was going I thought they'd be over 300 at close of play.

Another thing to notice here is that we have overnight batsmen with centuries to their name. This is a rare occurrence in our cricket in the recent past. It shows a shift of the paradigm, probably.

All of a sudden, the keeper reserves for WI looks good: Jangoo, Savory, Imlach, even Carlon Bowen-Tuckett.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Double century for Jangoo
Back-to-back centuries for our skipper, Imlach.
Roston Chase with 127 (87) lol
Kraigg with 189 off 400
Permaul eating up Jamaica with 5/55 @ashley bach

Cricket is back baby.

 

[Aidan11]

As well as the double century I think 3 players got over 150 in the latest round of games.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keacy Carty and Mikyle Louis going good for the Leewards in their reply to Barbados' massive 1st innings total of 542/9d

Carty on 86 and Louis on 41

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jamaica Scorpions need 296 to win on the last day of this match. They've already lost 2 wickets. A small part feels that they are going to pull it off.
