Barbados Pride vs Trinidad & Tobago Red Force
Bridgetown, Barbados, February 16 - (www.bcacricket.org) - Barbados Pride defeated Trinidad & Tobago Red Force by 222 runs on the fourth and final day of their sixth round WICB PCL first-class match at Kensington Oval today.
Requiring 336 to win and starting the day on 17 without loss off eight overs, Trinidad & Tobago were bowled out for 113 in 50.3 overs. The match ended 37 minutes before tea.
Opener Evin Lewis topscored with 38 in 98 minutes off 72 balls. The left-hander struck seven fours.
Pacer Carlos Brathwaite took three for 17 to record the best match figures of seven for 67, fast bowler Tino Best picked three for 19 and off-spinner Ashley Nurse, two for 34.
Joyful Ireland deepen West Indies turmoil
Ireland's giant killers have struck again although captain Will Porterfield wasn't listening to any talk of an upset.
The Irish have a history of cricket World Cup boilovers. Their hit-list has included a tie with Zimbabwe as a qualifier in 2007 before beating Pakistan and Bangladesh ahead of a stunning three-wicket final-over win against England in 2011.
But Monday's pulsating four-wicket victory over the West Indies in their pool B clash at Nelson's Saxton Oval ranked among the best as they spectacularly added another top-tier nation to their trophy bag. Porterfield was clear about where he sees his team in the overall scheme of things. "I actually hate the term upset," he said. "I don't see why a team has to be an associate team, it has to be a full member. It's ranked one to whatever [but] it's not like that in any other sport.
Gayle holds the key for WI
IN their different ways, Chris Gayle’s influence in the West Indies dressing room is as significant as his intimidation of bowlers through his sheer physical power and the substantial, 3.37 kilos (seven-and-a-half pounds) of willow he wields.
In both guises, he should be crucial to the team’s performance in what is his fourth and final World Cup.
At 35, he is the oldest in the squad. His 21 ODI hundreds are more than any other West Indian, his 8,881 runs second to Brian Lara’s 10,405, his 260 matches behind only Lara’s 295 and Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s 268.
