Marooners vs Hampshire

Joe Weatherly and James Adams each scored half-centuries Thursday, as Hampshire CCC scored an easy nine-wicket victory over the Marooners at Kensington Oval in Barbados for what was only their second win of the CWI Super50 Tournament.

Adams top-scored with a 68-ball 66 and Weatherly 56 as the pair posted an unbroken second-wicket partnership of 114 that steered Hampshire to 125 for 1 from just 28 overs. Jermaine Levy took the only wicket to fall, that of Thomas Alsop, who failed to score from the 12 balls he faced.

Hampshire’s victory was set up by their bowlers, namely Bradley Taylor, who took 4 for 26, and Gareth Berg 3 for 28, who combined to skittle the Marooners out for 124 in 33.3 overs.


Red Force vs Volcanoes

Half centuries from skipper Denesh Ramdin and Tion Webster and four wickets from Sunil Narine were not enough to prevent the T&T Red Force from going under to the Windwards Volcanoes in their latest match of the Regional Super50 at the 3Ws Oval in Barbados, yesterday.

Webster at the top of the order scored 56, while Ramdin made an even 50, as they reached 254 for eight off their allotted 50 overs. The Windwards with a great team effort was then able to get home at 255/7 off 46.3 overs, to claim the win by three wickets. An opening partnership of 58 runs in just seven overs gave the Windwards a great foundation to challenge the target.

T&T CRICKET AND PLAYERS ARE OVER RATED!

Narine will be leaving the team heading to the PCL what this TT team will look like? Ramdin and Khan are the only two players of significance. All others are very inconsistent or not good enough. TTCB what are you really doing for the development of the sport and the players? Its embarrassing to see our batsmen are vulnerable to pace bowling! What assistance are you providing to them, not at the National level but mainly at the divisional club levels. Start with preparing "BETTER PITCHES" this is also going to assist both bowlers and batsmen.

The other observation is the current coaching staff. Both Williams in my opinion have failed this season. I watch and follow most games from Orlando even visited TT in December while TT vs Bar at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, the performance of the team needs much to be desired, the condition of the wicket for a new ground is ready for a funeral (dead). What is going on? How do we expect our players to improve and develop to compete internationally? It is ridiculous and outrageous to say the least.
