Jamaica Scorpions off-spinners Peat Salmon and Ramaal Lewis took nine wickets on the day, but the team’s batters are facing a daunting task after day two of their West Indies Championship match against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Sabina Park.

The home side will resume on 59 for four in their second innings after the Scorpions had posted 221 all out and then dismissed the Hurricanes for 231. The home team has a lead of 49 runs with two full days to play.

2 wickets again so far in this innings. Victories by JA, Guy and Bim will really open up the championship race as Win, Lee and TT will now each have 2 losses.

Killa Milla still needs to 'fix' his action though

They still allowing this chap to fling down regional batsmen?

Btw did they do anything to Roach? Or senior WI players are free to do whatever they want in their tournaments?

Really!!!

You need to pause it during the delivery stride.

I surely paused it and although I cannot measure the degrees,
it looks iffy.

So you are making a decision based on your inconclusiveness and inability to measure the degrees? I think guys are just upset that Jamaica didn’t just roll-over but remains competitive. big grin

In reply to SnoopDog I don't see it in that delivery, guy bending his back and looking legal.

JA blew the game with poor batting and terrible captaincy.

In real time it may not appear obvious as he bowls with a quick arm action.

But I’ve seen lots of slow motion replays of his bowling and his action is very suspect.

It was the same with Beaton. Until I saw slow motion replays I didn’t think he was pelting.

No, not that delivery plus one couldn't tell for sure from that angle.
My take is if it looks iffy fix it before that level. At youth level
Bucknor had advised the same for Lawson and the advice was ignored.

You definitely need to do that. They called him for flinging a few years ago... Nothing changed since then.
