West Indies 2005 Domestic Cricket

To little hype, notice and with even less starpower, the 2005 Carib Beer Series in the West Indies has begun.

Two of the matches rained out, but Jamaica v. the Leewards got underway.

Round 1 Day 1

Last check Runako Morton and Sylvester Joseph got starts. They were both 30odd at lunch. However, a dramatic collapse saw 80/2 at lunch turn to 123/8 at tea from the reports I've heard.

Morton got 50 and Sylvester Joseph got 35 and (trying to make me look a fool :)) Jerome Taylor took 4/20!

A bit of an anti-climactic start to the season due to the literally damp squibs in Trinidad and Barbados, but an extremely encouraging performance from Jerome Taylor.

Very uncharacteristic of me to be optimistic about anything, but the early signs are that it might not be misplaced optimism in Jerome's case. Still, a long way to go yet (aaah, pessimism feels much more natural).

I wonder whether this could finally be a breakthrough season for Deonarine. His name is often bandied around in West Indian circles as a potential international player (didn't he make a big ton against a touring side?), but he never seems to string a run of scores together in domestic cricket.

Erm, 2 Tests actually, and he's bowled the same rubbish in both. That said, he bowled better to SA then he did to England.

Omari Banks to me looks the far better prospect.

You're not one of those who judges players on two Tests in unhelpful conditions are you? And don't tell me any crap about Giles' bowling. Giles turns the ball the other way and thus had a lot of rough to use to his advantage. Neither Mohammed nor Banks could utilize the rough anywhere near that extent.

In SA he did not bowl rubbish. He was unlucky though. If you want rubbish, look at Mahenra Nagamootoo.

EDIT: Just to note your statement - "same rubbish in both" and "bowled beter to SA". Makes sense to me. :p

:p

Trust me to stuff up. :D

Regarding Giles, he does not turn it the other way, he has the arm-ball. And why couldn't Mohammad use the rough against England then? They have a fair few lefties.
