The 24-year-old Barbadian claimed six for 29 to destroy the Scorpions for 56 in their first innings, after the visitors chose to bat first on the opening day of the contest at Arnos Vale Stadium.
Delorn Johnson, also a left-arm pacer, supported with four for 26 as Scorpions equalled their all-time low in first class cricket achieved in the seventh round at Sabina Park last month.
Only Oraine Williams (15) and wicketkeeper Devon Thomas (10) made it into double figures.
Barbados vs Trinidad & Tobago.
Bridgetown, Barbados, April 7 - (www.bcacricket.org) - Barbados Pride were 27 for five off 16.2 overs in reply to a first innings total of 196 all out in 68.1 overs by Trinidad & Tobago Red Force at the close of play on the opening day of the ninth round Day/Night match in the Digicel Regional first-class Championship at Kensington Oval today.
Left-hander Anthony Alleyne was caught at the wicket by Amir Jangoo off left-arm fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell for four (9-1; 2.1 overs).
This is one way to nail a 300-plus chase, a method no cricket manual, traditional or modern, would recommend. West Indies themselves may have not planned to finish it off this way, but they did. Jason Mohammed played the innings of his life as West Indies clawed their way back into a contest they didn't even seem to be a part of for 35 overs of the chase.
They needed 128 from 13 overs when Jason Mohammed suddenly exploded into life, treating Pakistan's vaunted fast-bowling attack with disdain, as Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali were all on the receiving end of hammerings in the slog overs.
When Pakistan realised there was life yet in the contest, Jason Mohammed was one step ahead of everything the bowlers, and an increasingly panic-stricken Sarfraz Ahmed, could throw at him. Ashley Nurse gave Jason Mohammed adequate support towards the end as Pakistan's sizeable advantage vanished before their disbelieving eyes. Before the small Guyana crowd could pinch themselves, their side had beaten Pakistan into submission and romped to their highest-successful ODI chase.
GEORGETOWN, Guyana – West Indies once again find themselves in the unenviable position of hoping to make a fresh start, when they clash with Pakistan in the opening One-Day International of the three-match series Friday.
The hosts were completely outplayed in the four-match Twenty20 series over the last two weeks, culminating in a 3-1 defeat and the squandering of precious momentum ahead of the one-day series here at the Guyana National Stadium.
Despite the run of poor form, however, captain Jason Holder said his side remained buoyant and were focused on drawing first blood.
“The mood in the camp is very good. I think everybody is positive going into this series,” the all-rounder told the Guyana media Thursday.
“There’s no point dwelling on the past. We obviously have to learn from the past but it’s a fresh series and we’ve got something to look forward to here in Guyana.
KINGSTON, Jamaica — West Indies cricketer Marlon Samuels will be receiving a full apology and undisclosed "substantial damages", after successfully suing former Australian cricketer Geoff Lawson and broadcaster 2KY for defamation.
The apology to Samuela is due for broadcast on air at a time to be agreed.
Samuels instructed his lawyers Richard Owen-Thomas and Suzette A Thompson in London after defamatory comments were made about him on the Big Sports Breakfast radio programme on April 4 last year.
During the radio podcast Lawson made erroneous, malicious unjustifiable comments accusing Samuels of being involved with criminal gangs in Jamaica.
LAHORE: Pakistan on Wednesday selected leg-spin sensation Shadab Khan in its Test squad for the West Indies series.
Uncapped middle-order batsman Usman Salahuddin, fast bowler Mohammad Abbas and slow left-arm spinner Mohammad Asghar have also found their places in the 16-man squad.
The first Test of the three-match series will begin on April 21.
Those who were part of Pakistan’s Test squad in Australia but have been dropped this time are: Sohail Khan, Rahat Ali, Imran Khan, Sami Aslam, M. Nawaz, M. Rizwan and Sharjeel Khan.
“The Test team has been selected keeping in mind the conditions in the West Indies and the recent performances of players during the domestic and international season,” chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old Shadab rose to fame in the second edition of the Pakistan Super League and later justified his selection in the Pakistan T20 squad when he was named Player-of-the-Series for taking 10 wickets in four matches against the West Indies. He is being considered Pakistan’s main weapon in the Test series.
