Greaves (6-33) leads Bajan fightback

Jamaica, led by an undefeated 73 from Teswayne Creary, reached 278-6 against Trinidad and Tobago although there was no play in the first session of the opening day of their Regional three-day under-19 cricket match at Everest yesterday due to the late arrival of the T&T gear.
Jamaica were asked to take first strike when the game began after lunch and West Indies under-19 player John Campbell followed up his three centuries for the Regional youth team in Florida earlier this month with an aggressive 55 runs off of 35 balls before he was caught behind by Steven Katwaroo off the first ball of the 12th over from Derone Davis to leave Jamaica, who last won the title at home in 2009, on 77-1.
Oshane Walter struggled for 51 balls for 12, while Ramon Senior and Brian Gayle made 15 and 33 runs respectively before they both were stumped by Katwaroo off Jovan Ali.
Chrishna Graham then fell for a duck as Davis, who finished with 4-64 from 26 overs, struck again. Ali supported with 2-49 from 13.5 overs
Donavon Nelson joined Creary and by the close was not out on 26 and the Jamaican pair will hope to continue their partnership when the second day starts at 10:00hrs.
Meanwhile, Justin Greaves upstaged a memorable spell from left-arm spinner Larry Edward and a half-century from Dwight Thomas to bowl Barbados back into their match against reigning champions Windward Islands at DCC.
Greaves finished with 6-33 from 10 overs as Windwards, replying to Barbados’161, reached 137 for nine at the close. Thomas fought a lone battle for the Windwards with an unbeaten 69, and carries the hopes of the Windwards getting first innings on the second day today.
Sunil Ambris scored 24 and Emmanuel Peter 21 but the Windwards were undermined by feeble batting. Edwards had rocked the Barbadians with 5-42, and fellow left-arm spinner Kavem Hodge took 3-6 as Barbados were bowled after lunch, after they were sent in to bat.
Neil Browne was not out on 26, their captain Kraigg Brathwaite, a Test batsman, and Kyle Mayers, also scored 26, Anthony Alleyne made 23, and Shane Parris got 21. Greaves then hijacked the Windwards’ reply, removing Jamaal James caught at first slip for seven, Hodge caught behind for a duck, and Keon George also lbw for a duck in the space of six deliveries, leaving the defending champions 16-3.
Peter and Ambris stemmed the fall of wickets, but four wickets, two to Brathwaite, bowling his uncomplicated off-spin, left the Windwards wobbling on 90-7. Ray Jordan added 40 for the eighth wicket with Thomas but Greaves bowled him and Bronte Bess for three and a duck respectively as the Windwards’ slide continued.
Earlier, Barbados made a steady start, after played started half hour later than scheduled due to a wet outfield caused by overnight rain. Brathwaite, the West Indies Under-19 captain, and Parris comfortably put on 46 for the first wicket. But they ran into trouble on 68 for three, after Shaquille Browne trapped Parris for 21, and Edward held a return catch to dismiss Brathwaite before he bowled Shai Hope for nine.
Alleyne led a recovery for the Barbadians in a stand of 39 for the fourth wicket with Greaves before he was lbw to Edward, leaving Barbados 102-4 at lunch. After the interval, the Barbadian batsmen continued to struggle against the slow bowling, and they lost their last six wickets for 50 runs.
