ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Experienced all-rounder and former West Indies player, Sylvester “Bouncing” Joseph, will lead a 14-man Antigua & Barbuda squad against Montserrat in their opening Three-Day match beginning tomorrow (Thursday) at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds (SVRCG)

Following the Three-Day contest which ends on Saturday, the Antiguans and Barbudans will take on Montserrat in a 50 Overs contest starting September 28.

The team also includes four other senior players with West Indies team experience, in wicket keeper-batsman Devon Thomas, pacer Gavin Tonge, leg spinner Anthony Martin and batsman Austin Richards Jr.

Head coach and former West Indies wicketkeeper/batsman Ridley Jacobs believes the team will do well in both formats.

“We thought about Devon Thomas but you know the situation with him so we think we need to give him a little break, but I think Sylvester is the ideal person to do the job. It’s a very experienced team and the guys that we selected have really performed well over the past couple of weeks that we have been training,” he said.

“We had a few trial games and they really came up to par and I think it’s only fair to give them an opportunity to really go and display their skills,” he added. The other members of the squad are Alzari Joseph, Rakeem Cornwall, Stanny Simon, Hayden Walsh Jr, Orlando Peters, Gavin Williams, Jamal Fernandez, Mali Richards and Juari Edwards

Could you tell us a little bit about him.

 
Commie 2014-09-24 22:46:34 

In reply to Fivestar

He is actually Dominican who moved to Antigua young. 6 ft 5, plays in league cricket in England and for Liberta in Antigua village cricket.

Pretty quick. He and Alzarri Joseph will be a handful. Joseph is only about 18 and pushing 6 ft 6.

The home team was stuttering at 75 for five after day one. The not out batsmen were Moreland Le Blanc on 12 (3x4) and Damien Williams yet to open his account. The home team started off the chase badly after losing Sherwin Peters for five in the fourth over.
Michael Lewis, in his first match for St. Maarten, was joined by Akeem Charles and the two added 45 runs for the second wicket. Charles was aggressive for his 22, which included five fours, but his dismissal came when he poked tentatively at a well pitched up delivery. After his dismissal, the visitors grabbed three key wickets for just 20 runs. Lewis was adjudged lbw for 22 off 56 balls (2x4), Romain Doodnauth was bowled for three and Colin Hamer was given out lbw for naught.
Le Blanc, who is a nucleus in the batting line-up, looked smooth and silky in his stroke play. The boundaries he hit displayed signs that the talented batsman was returning to form and confidence. His first scoring shot was a crisp square-drive that left a trail of dust on its way to the boundary. He and Williams will be hoping to string a partnership together as the only significant partnership, so far, is for the second wicket.
The local batsmen struggled against the wily off spinner Chaka Hodge and left arm spinner Yannick Leonard. So far, Hodge has registered bowling figures of 7-3-15-2 and Leonard 9-4-21-2. The other wicket taker was Marlon Bryson with one for 19 in five overs.

After Day Two, the scores in the match read Anguilla 200 all out and 131 for four, St. Maarten 266 all out.
Williams who resumed his innings from naught and his team in a troubling position of 75 for five, hit his first century in national colours. He mixed defense with calculated aggression to slam 15 fours and three fours in his highly entertaining innings.


Daily Herald report

 
voiceofreason 2014-09-27 03:22:39 

At 178 for eight, the home team was faced with a crisis situation to reach 200 in order to obtain first innings points. Captain David walked to the crease and immediately stamped his authority on the run chase. And with Williams looking as solid as Fort Amsterdam, the pair took the home team over the 200 runs mark and further rough-up their opponent with some telling shots.
[b]David slammed five fours and three sixes for an explosive 52 off just 35 balls.
The main wicket takers for Anguilla were Yannick Leonard with four for 62 in 25 overs and Hodge with three for 59 off 14 overs.[/b]
With 66 runs behind, Captain of Anguilla, Lyndell Richardson started off in ultra aggressive mode. He clobbered five sixes and two fours in 35 off only 26 balls. His aggressive batting led to his downfall with the total on 46. His opening partner Jovanni Gumbs was dismissed three runs later for 10 off 31 balls. They slipped into further trouble when Kacey Carty was bowled for two to make the score 57 for three.

Good to see a youngster so resilient and playing with a level head. Scored 72 of 107 runs in boundaries which is expected at the Carib lumber park.

Cannot find the Nevis Team. Thought that was your job as assigned by IYSN. You slacking now? I wonder if KP recover?

Found this:


Three of Nevis’ youthful cricketers performed creditably on the weekend, as the Nevis trial squad continued its preparations for the upcoming Leeward Islands tournament. All three players were part of the Leeward Islands under 19 team that participated in the recent regional tournament. Ross Powell scored 41 and 17 in his two innings; Colin Archibald picked up a five-fer and Theron Bussue got to 31 in his only knock. The match was played on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st at the ET Willet Park. Summarized scores: Tonito Willet’s X1: 101 all out: Ross Powell 41; Wasim Mintos 31 Zavero Forbes 2 for 28; Justin Athanaze 2 for 16 Adelvin Phillip’s X1: 250 all out: Akito Willet 145; Junior Williams 66; Kejel Tyson 47; Justin Athanaze 47; Theron Bussue 31 Colin Archibald 5 for 74; Tonito Willet 2 wickets Tonito Willet’s X1: 37 for 2: Ross Powell 17 Match drawn.

Would not be a LICA Tournament without some controversy:

Two Antiguan players are under investigation for claims that they participated in domestic night cricket while the FC Match vs Montserrat was in progress:


One cricket official has confirmed that investigations are under way into reports that two players currently contesting the Leeward Islands Cricket Association (LICA) Three-Day match against Montserrat were observed playing domestic cricket on Thursday evening.

The official, who requested anonymity, said several reports have reached the team’s management staff that two players, Rahkeem “Jimbo” Cornwall and Alzari Joseph, took the field at Dredgers on Thursday night for Left Out in an ongoing taped ball competition.

Cornwall had, earlier that day, represented the senior team at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds (SVRCG). Joseph, however, was not selected in the 11.

Investigations, according to the official, would most likely be completed over the weekend, at which time a decision would be reached as to a course of action.
