Headley/Weekes Tri-Series…
Kaieteur Sports – West Indies Academy and Team Weekes went to war over the last few days, as the second match of the Tri-Series, where almost 1000 runs was scored, finished in a draw yesterday at Coolidge.
Team Weekes made a massive 401 all out in their 1st innings thanks to a quartet of half-centuries from a few of their batters.
WI-A replied with their 1st innings 435, a resurgent fightback which was led by man of the hour, Kirk Mckenzie, who piled on a majestic 221 from 386 deliveries with 26 fours and a six.
He was duly supported by middle-order batsman Kevin Wickham who hit 121 from 270 balls with 9 fours and maximum. The pair added a record 5th wicket partnership of 259 runs, an innings which kept the WIA in the game.
