You wait a long time for a draw, and, like buses, suddenly two come along at once.
Devon Thomas kept his nerve, and hit a captain's innings of 99 not out to guide the Leewards to a four-wicket win over Jamaica, their first of the tournament, in the penultimate round. The Leewards made 168-6, while legspinner Damion Jacobs took 3-56.
Leaders Guyana have practically cemented their first hold on the regional four-day title since 1998, when they played out a draw with Trinidad at Providence. In their second innings, Shivnarine Chanderpaul hit 69 not out as Guyana declared on 266-5, spinning allrounders Imran Khan and Jason Mohammed taking two wickets each. Set an unlikely 218 to win in limited time, Khan topscored with 40 as Trinidad closed on 99-3.
A total of 13 wickets fell at Kensington Oval, as the Windwards hung on for the draw. Offspinner Ashley Nurse took 4-98 and pacer Miguel Cummins 3-83 to dismiss the Windwards for 418 in their first innings. With a first innings lead of 64, Roston Chase hit 65 as Barbados made 166-5 declared, spinners Alston Bobb (3-55) and Shane Shillingford (2-65) taking the wickets. Set a target of 232, the Windwards limped to 101-6, Dalton Polius topscoring with 32, and another spinner, Jomel Warrican, taking 5-29.
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....
