Warrican grabs 6-78 as Barbados beat Jamaica by 10 wickets
Bridgetown, Barbados, February 18 – (www.barbadoscricket.org) – Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican snatched six for 78 including four for 35 in a dramatic last session to help spur Barbados Pride to victory by 10 wickets over Jamaica Scorpions on the fourth and final day of the second round regional first-class match at Kensington Oval.
Facing a first innings deficit of 193, Jamaica had battled to 174 for four at tea with hopes of a draw.
But as was the case in the first innings when they collapsed, the lower order caved in. The last six wickets tumbled for 59 runs in 13.4 overs to be all out for 233.
Jermaine Blackwood topscored with 61 in 178 minutes off 132 balls including four boundaries.
Requiring 41 to win in 20 overs, defending champions Barbados took 9.4 overs with the match ending at 4:41 p.m.
Shayne Moseley scored 34 not out off 35 balls including seven boundaries, while captain Kraigg Brathwaite was unbeaten on seven following his career-best 276 in the first innings, which earned him the Player Of The Match award.
From an overnight 56 for one, Jamaica lost captain and first innings century-maker John Campbell for 16 in the day’s second over. Pushing forward, he edged off-spinner Chaim Holder to slip in Jonathan Carter after adding one.
Blackwood, who resumed on 24, and fellow Test player Nkrumah Bonner then settled down and mixed solid defence with a few attacking strokes.
When 32, Bonner was dropped at first slip by Brathwaite off medium-pacer Carter shortly before rain came at 11:20 a.m. and forced an early lunch with the score 112 for two.
Warrican broke the partnership, which was worth 72 when he had a defensive Bonner caught at slip by Carter for 37.
Four overs later, Warrican also removed Blackwood to a catch at forward short-leg by Shamarh Brooks from a tentative stroke.
Jamaica’s collapse started in the second ball after tea when Alwyn Williams was leg before wicket by off-spinner Brathwaite for 17 after putting on 40 with fellow left-hander Paul Palmer.
In the next over, wicketkeeper Romaine Morris was bowled by Warrican for nought.
Jamie Merchant opted to attack as he added 37 with Palmer, who next fell, well caught at long-on by Raymon Reifer off Warrican for 33.
Holder soon bowled Marquino Mindley and Warrican had Nicholson Gordon caught at short-leg by Brooks – both failing to score.
Warrican ended the innings by having Merchant leg before wicket after an entertaining knock of 47 off 40 balls with two fours and four sixes.
The win kept Barbados at the top of the Points Table on 42 with the Championship slated for a two-month break.
Points: Barbados Pride 42, Trinidad & Tobago Red Force 38.6, Leeward Islands Hurricanes 24.6, Guyana Harpy Eagles 21.4, Windward Islands Volcanoes 10.8, Jamaica Scorpions 8.8.
