For the first time in a long time, no side was bowled out on the first day of a round of the domestic four-day competition. In fact, all two of the teams lost eight wickets at the beginning of the fifth round, but the runs accumulated varied from ground to ground.
At Beausejour, the Windwards went on a run-feast, hammering a hapless Trinidad attack to rattle up 388-8 at stumps, thanks to knocks of 136 from opener Tyrone Theophile, 83 from Keddy Lesporis, and 54 from allrounder Liam Sebastien. Pacer Shannon Gabriel and legspinner Imran Khan have each taken three wickets to date.
Guyana were in command at Sabina Park, notching up 298-8 on the opening day, thanks largely to an unbeaten 75 from tailender Veerasammy Permaul, while there were 40s from Leon Johnson and wicketkeeper Anthony Bramble. On his return to the side, legspinner Odean Brown has taken three wickets to date for the Jamaicans, and there are two each for another leggie, Damion Jacobs, and pacer Jason Dawes.
It was slow-going at Kensington Oval, where, despite getting in 90 overs, Barbados crawled to 182-4, thanks mainly to an extremely patient 72 from 232 by opening batsman Kraigg Brathwaite. For the Leewards, Gavin Tonge, Orlando Peters, Sherwin Peters, and Rakheem Cornwall have taken one wicket each so far.
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....
