Barbados pacer Jordan snatches maiden 5-for as Windwards score 237

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, March 29 – (www.barbadoscricket.org) – Barbados Pride pacer Akeem Jordan grabbed his first five-wicket haul at the first-class level as fortunes fluctuated against Windward Islands Volcanoes on the opening day of the fifth round match in the regional Championship at Queen’s Park Oval today.

Windward Islands were bowled out for 237 off 66.5 overs after winning the toss with Jordan taking five for 44 off 16 overs to push his tally of wickets for the season to 20 – the most by a Barbados bowler.

Barbados closed on 48 without loss off 11 overs with Shayne Moseley on 26 and Zachary McCaskie 21.

The Windwards were under early pressure on 17 for three, Jordan having removed Kimani Melius (nought) and his opening partner Johann Jeremiah (11), while in between fast bowler Jair McAllister accounted for Kavem Hodge (six).

Captain Alick Athanaze and Sunil Ambris then added 47 for the fourth wicket before medium-pacer Roshon Primus had Ambris leg before wicket for 28.

Athanaze consolidated in a fifth-wicket partnership of 98 with Barbadian wicketkeeper/batsman Tevyn Walcott.

Left-hander Athanaze hit the top-score of 59 off 113 balls including five fours and one six to lift his aggregate for the season to 647. He is the only batsman with over 500 runs.

Walcott made 55 off 72 balls with seven fours and one six.

Jordan had both leg before wicket in consecutive overs and after Primus removed Larry Edward, Jordan took the scalp of Kenneth Dember to leave the score 183 for eight.

Ryan John contributed 41 off 56 balls with five fours as the last two wickets added 54 runs.

Primus took two for 44 off 11 overs and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, two for 57 off 19.5 overs.
