Kaieteur News – The BMC Caribbean Cup concluded its final round on Wednesday with mostly wonderful Barbados weather at all the 3 venues – Four Square Oval, Wanderers CC & the BNOC Sports Club. This round, England, Australia and the Rest of the World had quite an easy day at the park registering comprehensive victories in their encounters.

MATCH 1 at BNOC Sports Club – In the USA v ROW encounter, the ROW 2nd victory in the tournament. The trend of teams winning the toss and electing to bowl who seemed to prefer chasing in this round continued. The USA after being inserted lost wickets at regular intervals and eventually folded for an obviously inadequate 150 all out off the allotted 45 overs. Captain Wayne Copeland top scored with a brilliant undefeated half century 54 with 4 boundaries. Opener Barlingay contributed 34 with 2 boundaries. Syed Naqvi made 12 and Gregory Caracciolo made 11. Seamer Rex Bennette was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 29, ably supported by John Courtney with 2 for 21 and Arnold Manders 2 for 20.

In their response the ROW easily dispatched the USA total in 33.1 overs. Mark Preddey was undefeated on 54 with 2 boundaries and 2 maximums. Opener Anthony Bennett made 49 with a solitary boundary. Neil Calvert made 16 and Gary Whitaker contributed 10. Zia Ahmad had 2 for 32.

MATCH 2 at the WANDERERS CC- In the Australia vs Invitational XI encounter the Aussies won the toss and elected to take first strike rattling up the highest total of the tournament -272 for 6 off their 45 overs. Several batters got starts but none got a half century- Greg Hiysted-46, Kent Officer 42, Glen Richardson 41, Sam Davis 34, Allan Bougoure 30, Peter Miller 26, Dale Thornton 17 and Eric Higgins 14. Dave Ramdan was the top bowler with 3 for 54 and captain Janak Patel had 2 for 49.

In reply, the Invitational XI could only muster 109 in 31.5 overs. Dave Ramdan had a good all-round match by top scoring with 35, Carlton Collymore made 17, Glenfield Griffith made 14 and Gossai made 12. Stephen Moore had 3 for 14, Dale Thornton also had 3 for 23 and Syd D’Mello chipped in with 2 for 43.

MATCH 3 at the Four-Square Oval-Pickwick CC- West Indies won the toss and inserted England to take first strike. The Windies had the match under control up to over 30 then released the stranglehold that allowed the Englishmen to score over 100 runs in the last 15 overs. Montie Douglas top scored with 66 with 5 boundaries whilst Edward Gordon-Lennox made an undefeated 63 with 3 boundaries and a six. Captain Richard Merriman made 30 with 3 boundaries opening the batting. Neil Braithwaite made 19 and Chris Dearden had 12. Zamin Amin had 2 for 46.

West Indies faltered badly in their response to be 36 for 3 in the 9th over and never really recovered despite good innings from an injured Wilbur Bruce 36 with 3 sweetly timed boundaries and a maximum and 34 from Richard Sieuchan with 2 boundaries, Captain Roy Sing made 15 and Rodney Husbands contributed an undefeated 13 before WI closed their innings at 135 for 9. Jim Phillips was the pick of the Aussies bowlers with 3 for 34, John Butterworth 2 for 26 and Rupert Staple 2 for 20.

West Indies will now face off with the Rest of the World for 3rd & 4th place at the Four Square Oval whilst the USA & the Invitational XI will battle it out for the 5th& 6th place at the BNOC ground.
