Mathew burst sends Trinis plummeting

Port of Spain, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago gambled with a bold declaration but the move seemed to be back-firing as Windward Islands ended the rain-hit second day of their Headley/Weekes semi-final on top here Sunday.

Resuming the day on 36 for three in pursuit of the Windwards’ first innings of 248, T&T slumped to 140 for eight about 35 minutes after tea at Queen’s Park Oval, and opted to declare to deny the Windwards precious bowling points.

T&T 3 (3 bowling points + 0 batting points)

Windwards 3 (1 batting point + 2 bowling points)

Lambert hundred puts Jamaica ahead

Jamaica captain, Tamar Lambert, ripped up the form book and gathered his third first-class hundred to fortify his side's position against Barbados in their Headley/Weekes semi-final here yesterday.

Lambert shrugged off his patchy form this season to hit the top score of 121 to be the rock upon which his side built a first-innings total of 302 on the second day of the match at Kensington Oval for a lead of 57.

The 33-year-old Lambert reached his hundred from 164 balls when he slog-swept a delivery from beanpole.

Points-to-date:

 

Barbados 4 (1 batting point + 3 bowling points)

Jamaica 6 (3 bowling points + 3 batting points)
