Jamaica win the toss and elect to field.

Boscombe bowled by Christopher Lamont for five.

Who?

Theophile out too?

Lunch 113-2

Devon 45 not out

Kirk 50 not out

In reply to Drapsey

Kirk out for 57 to Campbell.

Windwards 135-3

Was he injured? Kirk is better than all the Windwards batsmen except Devon. He can't have been omitted surely.

Cato out to Campbell for 11.

Windwards 157-4

In reply to mikesiva

You never know wid de Windwards selectors. After all dey have resurrected Miles Bascombe and Donwell Hector. Maybe dey mite even bring Currency out of retirement

In reply to mikesiva

How many of Twnkletoes' hundreds been scored against the yard? He surely loves our bowling and our Bina pitch.

In reply to yardman83

In Gros Islet, the Windwards bizarrely declared on 226-9 at the close of the first day's play. Veterans Devon Smith (107 not out) and Kirk Edwards (57) were the only batsmen to make runs against pacer Christopher Lamont, who took 4-52. Jamaica were 33 without loss at stumps.

Lamont is a spinner

Why did the Windwards declare? Was it to protect the tailenders?

What time does play begin?

I am not sure this Trevon Griffiths experiment working either. He has not really been scoring much runs.

In reply to yardman83

Out for three to Lewis.

Jamaica 33-1

In reply to mikesiva

Campbell also now out for his overnight score. 38/2. Lewis gets the wicket too.

In reply to robbo

Is he?

Because he opened the bowling I incorrectly assumed he was a pacer.

A lot of spinners open the bowling in dung heap.

In reply to mikesiva

King now goes lbw for 13. 50/3. Lewis gets another one.

In reply to camos

Ok. So everyone will soon be declaring 9 down.

In reply to yardman83

Williams goes caught behind for 5. 54/4. Playing away from his body. Wicket goes to Mayers.

In reply to Headley

Which highlights the stupidity of the rules implemented by the CWI. Can you imagine two teams in the hunt for the title and one declares with 9 wickets down to avoid conceding?

So in this game, Jamaica is deprived of points not because of the acumen of the opposition.

In reply to JoeGrine

They have the same nonsensical points system in county cricket.

In reply to yardman83

Allen goes for 0, bowled by Johnson. 57/5. Volcanoes erupting on the Scorpions.

In reply to yardman83

Thomas goes for 14 on the stroke of lunch to Mayers. 90/7. Yard slide.

In reply to yardman83

Palmer was out for eight to Mayers. That Devon Smith hundred is looking really good now.

In reply to mikesiva

Looks like the whole team won't make Smith's score

In reply to yardman83


Green out to Mayers for 25.

Jamaica 108-8

In reply to yardman83

Green goes to Mayers for 25. 112/8.

In reply to JoeGrine

Jamaica eh lose any bowling points cause 9 wickets were already down. Allyu does criticize tings allyu doh even know about just for criticizing sake.

De options for de Windwards were to continue batting and try and get one more batting point for scoring 250 plus or put Jamaica in on a cool, windy night for 7 or 8 overs and try and take a wicket or two.

It didn quite work out but it made more sense dan piling up over 500 runs and not leaving yourself time to bowl out de opposition twice with rain around

In reply to mikesiva

Jacobs seems to have gone to Lewis for 2. They have also declared with the loss of 9 wickts The trend has started.

In reply to yardman83

typical in english cricket...to deny teams of bonus points

In reply to JoeGrine

Isn't it de job of a teams to restrict the opposition in all aspects of the game? The previous points system encouraged teams to play for first innings points and ended up with dull draws. This one at least encourages some thinking in the game.

Denying teams points have consequences and teams have to weigh the pros and cons of doing so.

Declaring with 8 wickets down means dat unless you have already gained maximum batting points the team is sacrificing potential batting points

In reply to yardman83

Devon 75 not out, Windwards 142-3, leading by 256. Can we expect a third declaration in this match?

with Jamaica about to get rolled over and trinidad same, and gt likely to roll over li today...the tournament is close to being over this weekend

What a difference a Miller makes!

Yardies in a pickle. Staring down the barrel.

In reply to yardman83

Guyanese will be transferred! Allyuh want back Bonner?

In reply to voiceofreason

Actually, if truth be told, Jamaica doing better than they have over the past couple of years. Allen, Campbell and Palmer are averaging over 40 with the bat, and King has done okay-ish with 32. Miller bowled brilliantly in his two matches, and Green and Leveridge have done okay, but the problem is with the other places.

The two Guyanese batsmen have been disappointing, and so has the wicketkeeper-batsman. Jacobs has been below-par, and so have the other bowlers.

On the penultimate day at Beausejour, a total of 14 wickets fell as the Windwards marched towards a rare victory. Veteran opener Devon Smith continued his good form with the bat, making 154 in the Windwards second innings total of 283 all out. Legspinner Damion Jacobs took 4-51. Chasing an unlikely 398 for victory, Jamaica reached 201-7 at stumps. Brandon King has topscored to date with 88, while medium pacer Kyle Mayers has taken three wickets so far.
