BIM 25-1
Alleyne c Blackwood b Taylor 1.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 10:39:29 

Scorpions on paper looks like the stronger team but if Pride can put up a 200+ score on the first day...they will have the edge.

 
althes 2017-04-15 10:39:47 

Very true.

Alleyne had a fast start to the season but it look like him buss.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 10:56:18 

Teams:

Barbados Pride - Kevin Stoute (captain), Anthony Alleyne, Kyle Corbin, Jonathan Carter, Ryan Wiggins, Kenroy Williams, Mario Rampersaud, Justin Greaves, Ashley Nurse, Sulieman Benn, Jomel Warrican.

Jamaica Scorpions- Nikita Miller (captain), Fabian Allen, Paul Palmer, John Campbell, Jermaine Blackwood, Dennis Bulli, Devon Thomas, Chadwick Walton, Trevon Griffith, Jerome Taylor, Derval Green.

Pride has no newbies here. All of this eleven has played at this level...Pride like the Barbados team of the old Shell Shield have put all their emphasis on the bowling allrounders to carry their batting to nine...Greaves,Williams and Nurse.
a lethal FC spin trio in Nurse,Benn and Warrican all familiar to Kensington.

Taylor has to prove he is the difference in this match as will Blackwood and Walton...Pride's top bats are Carter and Stoute.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 11:01:32 

Carter back in the pavillon already...so much for proving himself.

c wkpr b Green 10

Green and Taylor have a wicket each so far.

 
althes 2017-04-15 11:05:49 

This game lasting 3 days.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 11:14:02 

only one recognised bat left in Stoute with two down already.

As I said the empahsis on Greaves,Williams,Rampersaud and Nurse to make runs.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 11:23:20 

Wiggins caught by the slip Blackwood off Alleyne 1

could somebody tell me what has happened to Kirk Edwards?

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 11:30:00 

Stoute that loyal soldier of Barbados cricket has to come to wipe the shame off we face again.

 
althes 2017-04-15 11:39:51 

Stoute is gone.

 
Gun_Play 2017-04-15 11:40:14

That's a really inexperienced Bim batting lineup team.

If JA can't beat them then they would have played poorly.

 
mikesiva 2017-04-15 11:41:32 

In reply to althes

Green gets his second wicket. Stoute out for 11.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 11:41:43 

65/4...can Barbados make 150 fartherless 200?

I still think Greaves,Williams and Nurse are superior bats to the top order guys ...they have nothing to lose...but can they withstand Miller?

 
mikesiva 2017-04-15 12:03:17 

Barbados 76-4

Corbin 43 not out
Williams seven not out

Corbin gets his half century.

 
althes 2017-04-15 12:59:43 

Corbin playing out of skin here.

 
mikesiva 2017-04-15 13:10:32 

In reply to althes

50 and out. Bulli gets his wicket.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 14:49:05 

I said this earlier before the match started

Pride like the Barbados team of the old Shell Shield have put all their emphasis on the bowling allrounders to carry their batting to nine...Greaves,Williams and Nurse.


and later

65/4...can Barbados make 150 fartherless 200?

I still think Greaves,Williams and Nurse are superior bats to the top order guys ...they have nothing to lose...but can they withstand Miller?


Barbados 180/5 Williams 60* Greaves 50*

Gimme some credit as an analyst nuh!

Williams finally out for 82. Bulli gets the wicket.

Barbados can declare now. Any score over 250 is a good one in the PCL.

 
Oilah 2017-04-15 16:42:31 

Very good recovery by Bim. Definitely didn't see this coming...figured 150-200 at best big grin

 
Oilah 2017-04-15 16:52:51 

Congrats Greaves...ton under pressure

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2017-04-15 17:07:34 

Does Pride recovery means Scorpion skipper is no good?

 
doublecentury 2017-04-15 17:24:52 

In reply to analyst-kid

Maybe 350 then

 
Norm 2017-04-15 18:06:43 

Good fightback by the Pride. They put themselves in a slightly better position than the Scorpions, but the match is still wide open.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-15 19:05:50 

In reply to Norm

My theory is once Pride makes 300 runs..it will be an uphill task for the Scorpions now.

Lets see if Allen/Bulli and Miller are more dangerous than Nurse/Benn and Warrican at Kensington.

 
buds 2017-04-15 21:01:14 

In reply to analyst-kid

Another loss for JA..We do not have the batsmen to score over 200..
However my hope is that Blackwood and Allen do well..
JA suck..
Coach gotta go

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-16 02:28:50 

In reply to buds

Actually prior to the match I felt BOTH teams would struggle to make 200.

When the Scorpions had the Pride on the ropes at 98/5 with Miller to bowl...I was wondering if the Pride would make 150.

But I did identify Greaves,Williams and Nurse as the three best batsmen Pride has on show and they delivered, Williams dropped anchor and was adept at handling pace and spin.

Realistically Blackwood should make a century on this good batting pitch but with three bowlers in Nurse,Benn and Warrican who have all routed Jamaica in the past to bowl last I really wonder.

 
buds 2017-04-16 07:39:05 

In reply to analyst-kid

I thought so too that BIM would fold meekly but, they showed what a well coached team can do. Miller could have done things differently, not sure that it would matter. BIM is well coached and the players are damn good players.
Blackwood is a disappointment-Lets see if he can do something special..

 
mikesiva 2017-04-16 10:35:34

Greaves out for a well played 114. Green gets his third wicket.

FIFTY TO ASHLEY NURSE! 99 balls, 125 mins, 5x4. Pride 326-7 (104.4 ov)

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-16 11:55:59 

Roland Butcher is saying this is a damn good batting pitch and the Scorpions will not roll over here...he thinks Barbados has no genuine pace bowlers and their spinners will have to work hard for their wickets.

Greaves continues to challenge Reifer and Chase for the title of leading allrounder in the tournament.

Primus is fourth in the regional allrounder rankings.

FOUR BAJANS....imagine that!

111/1 Walton 70 Griffith 22 but honestly how it looks if Walton falls ...Warrican and one those spinners will run thru this Jamaican team.

In reply to analyst-kid

A target of 174 ..on what is still a good batting wicket, at 114/1...one would like Jamaica's chances

Simple, no-risk batting should get the job done shortly after tea

but knowing my fellow Jamaicans, they may make a pigs breakfast out of it

It would be a herculean batting effort, by PCL standards....

the way how Warrican and Williams bowling if Blackwood don't stop them...they will run through this Scorpion line-up.

I said this from late evening yesterday.

 
analyst-kid 2017-04-18 11:05:11 

From Jamaica standpoint try not to lose more than two more wickets before lunch.

250/5 the first target here.

Time for Blackwood to justify his place..

if he can't defend and score against regional bowling, how can we expect success at the top level? sad

In reply to SirGarny... my sentiments.

 
SirGarny 2017-04-18 11:41:23 

In reply to natty_forever

we need a ton from Blackwood today...after Thomas there's really no one left to bat with him

disappointed Chadwick couldn't finish with a century..93 is good...I'll take it any day

sad sad

The one thing Barbados got going for them is that they will be starting after lunch at one new batsman and another who has to settle down all over again.

Well, at least he has been a consistent yam-licker. Cannot say the same thing for most of the other Jamaican batsmen. In hindsight, he should have ben in this squad all along.

I just following the line of argument here still. He has been consistently scoring runs. At least a 50 in each game he has played.

Yeah--Good knock..From what I saw he is a big strong guy(Mason love that)--My first impression was that he did not look the part but, I guess I was wrong..He has been very consistent unlike most of our batsmen..
