Nyeem Young slams century in high-scoring opening Barbados Legends match
Bridgetown, Barbados, January 14 – (www.barbadoscricket.org) – Nyeem Young today became the third batsman to hit a century in the high-scoring first Barbados Legends Series three-day match at Kensington Oval.
Young made 111 as Sir Gordon Greenidge X1 fought back from losing four wickets in the first session to reach 435 for nine off 104 overs in reply to a first innings total of 535 all out by Sir Garfield Sobers X1 when play was called off on the final day.
Batting at No. 7, Young, a 22-year-old former West Indies Under-19 pace bowling all-rounder, faced 147 balls in 199 minutes and struck 14 fours and four sixes before he was eighth out, caught by wicketkeeper Demetrius Richards off pacer Matthew Forde, who was a West Indies Under-19 teammate of Young.
After starting the day on 84 for one, the Sir Gordon Greenidge X1 slipped to 128 for five in the face of incisive fast bowling by Barbados Under-17 player Jaden Lorde before an attacking Kemar Smith and Young added 123 in 19.3 overs for the sixth wicket partnership.
All-rounder Smith scored 89 off only 66 balls in 84 minutes with 11 fours and three sixes before he was caught and bowled by national Under-19 team off-spinner Tariq O’Neale.
Young then featured in successive half-century partnerships of 74 with captain Jonathan Carter and 68 with Akeem Jordan. Both Carter and Jordan scored 35.
Nathan Sealy was unbeaten on 20 and Romario Greaves, 10.
Earlier, Lorde quickly removed overnight pair Shian Brathwaite and Akeem Springer, as well as Kadeem Alleyne.
Brathwaite added just four to his overnight score of 40 before he was bowled in the fourth ball of the day.
Six overs later, Springer, who resumed on 31, was leg before wicket for 43 and Alleyne was soon caught by Demetrius Richards for 18.
Forde next had Demario Richards leg before wicket for six.
Then came the recovery.
Lorde was the leading wicket-taker with four for 94 off 21 overs. O’Neale took two for 72 off 23 overs and Forde, two for 86 off 20 overs.
