WICB FC Competition

The Trinidad and Tobago batsmen would have had to be at their best to get the 340 runs needed to beat the Windward Islands. Instead, they produced their worst.

Reaching at balls they did not need to reach for; attempting shots that weren’t necessary in the circumstances; they surrendered this Regional Four-Day semi-final, as if playing Good Friday bobolees. In 29.2 overs yesterday afternoon at the Queen’s Park Oval, the home team scratched together 105 to lose by a comprehensive 234 runs.

“Words can’t explain it, extremely disappointed,” was the way T&T coach Kelvin Williams described his feelings on the performance yesterday.

“We expect that the seniors would try and pull it through especially when you are chasing 340. It didn’t happen that way.”

No it didn’t.
