Points tableClose 2nd day Barbados 285 and 138 for 3 (Wilkinson 48*, Hinds 40*) lead Trinidad and Tobago 265 (Powell 115, S Ganga 56; Hinds 4-51) by 158 runs
ScorecardRicardo Powell slammed a thrilling 115 – off only 113 balls – but it wasn’t enough to give Trinidad and Tobago first innings points against Barbados at Guaracara Park. Trinidad and Tobago made 265 in response to Barbados’s 285, and the Bajans finished the second day on 138 for 3, an overall lead of 158, with Ryan Hinds (40 not out) and Kurt Wilkinson (48 not out) at the crease.Powell smashed 14 fours and four sixes in his innings, but with Sherwin Ganga (56) the only other major contributor, Trinidad and Tobago couldn’t manage a first innings lead. For Barbados, Hinds took the bowling honours with 4 for 51.Close 1st day Leeward Islands 39 for 5 (Powell 4-18) trail Jamaica 200 (Baugh 86; Sandford 3-57) by 161 runs
ScorecardJamaica lost Gareth Breese, their captain, to a broken left forearm, but still dominated proceedings on the opening day against Leeward Islands at the Alpart Sports Club. Carlton Baugh stroked a brilliant 86 in their total of 200, and Darren Powell, having his first bowl of the Carib Beer season after a back injury, picked up 4 for 18 to leave Leewards shipping water at 39 for 5 by close of play.Jamaica slumped to 79 for 5 after having won the toss and were indebted to Baugh after Adam Sandford – who finished with 3 for 57 – had made early inroads and shattered Breese’s ulna. Luckily for Jamaica, Powell ensured that a meek Leewards batting line-up wouldn’t be able to post an adequate response to a modest total.Close 1st day Guyana 319 for 3 (Sarwan 151*, Chanderpaul 63*, Chattergoon 60) v Kenya
ScorecardRamnaresh Sarwan stroked his highest first-class score as Guyana inflicted heavy punishment on Kenya on the opening day at the Bourda Oval. Choosing to bat first on a placid wicket, Guyana finished on 319 for 3, with Sarwan unbeaten on 151.Shivnarine Chanderpaul was keeping him company, having got to 63 by stumps, and there was also a fine little cameo from Sewnarine Chattergoon (60). Kenya tried nine bowlers but could do nothing right on a day where their Carib Beer season went from bad to dreadful.Close 1st day Windward Islands 36 for 0 trail West Indies B 197 (Richards 74; Shillingford 4-50) by 161 runs
ScorecardShane Shillingford (4 for 50) and Deighton Butler (3 for 40) were the bowling heroes as Windward Islands bowled out West Indies B for 197 on the first day at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada. Austin Richards (74) and Kenroy Williams (40) gave the total some respectability after West Indies B had collapsed to 14 for 3 in the morning.Windward Islands were 36 for 0 at the close, handily placed for a big first innings lead.
