Scorecard
Persistent rain dashed Leeward Islands’ hopes of bowling out CCC, who were 99 for 2 requiring a further 458 runs to win, as the final day’s play was washed out. Meanwhile, Kieran Powell, who was making his first-class debut, was named Man of the Match for his scores of 85 and 99.
Scorecard
Liam Sebastien’s 133, his maiden first-class hundred, enabled Windward Islands to post 467 and claim first-innings points against Guyana in Provindence. Guyana were 29 for 1 at the end of the third day’s play.Resuming on their overnight score of 267 for 3, Windwards lost two wickets for the addition of 10 runs as Esuan Crandon dismissed Darren Sammy for 65 and Donwell Hector for no score. But Sebastien, resuming on 42, took the score to 311 with Rawl Lewis, before Lewis was dismissed for 18. Windwards then lost Lyndon James, trapped by part-time legspinner Sewnarine Chattergoon for a duck as they went into lunch at 312 for 7.After the interval, Sebastien found support from Mervin Matthew (39), with whom he added 81 for the eight wicket, before he reached his hundred off 274 balls. Sebastien, though, retired hurt immediately after the first-innings points were claimed, before returning to frustrate Guyana by adding 39 for the last wicket with Shane Shillingford (18*).Interestingly, Guyana were forced to field with 10 players in the morning session and 75 minutes into the post-lunch session as the Windwards management refused to allow a substitute for Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Chanderpaul had left after the first day’s play to attend a function organised by the West Indies Players’ Association on Sunday.
