Khary Pierre, the 33-year-old Trinidad and Tobago Red Force left-arm spinner wrote his name in the history books of West Indies cricket with a remarkable bowling feat. He took career-best 8-27 on Friday as the Trinis destroyed Windwards an innings and 176 runs inside three days in the regional first-class match under lights at Arnos Vale Stadium.
This was a follow-up to his previous career-best of 7-40 last week against Combined Campuses and Colleges at the Brian Lara Academy when the red Force also recorded a comprehensive victory. This is the first time in the regional four-day first-class cricket – dating back to the 1860s – that a bowler has taken a seven-wicket haul followed by an eight-wicket haul in the next match.
Pierre is the leading bowler this season. After two matches he has the amazing bowling statistics of 2-50, 7-40, 4-17 and 8-27. Overall, he has bowled 61.2 overs; 15 maidens; conceded 134 runs; and captured 21 wickets at an average of 6.38 and a strike rate of a wicket every 17 balls.

Congrats to Pierre. He is following in the footsteps of Jack Noreiga 9-fer-95. Let's see how he performs when he plays outside of Trinidad

I was looking forward for him representing Windies for a long time.
Unfortunately, Hosein and Mootie upstaged him in ODI n T20.
Mootie, Warrican and Bishop in the red ball game.
I rate Pierre as one of the best ever in Windies.
I believe that he has a first class century as well.

Great performance but let's wait until he plays the better teams. That Windwards team is a hot mess devoid of batting talent. They are bad in every phase of the game. The scorecard of the first inning against Trinidad should tell you all you need to know.
