BRIDGETOWN, Barbados

(CMC):

Combined Campuses and Colleges fast bowler Jason Bennett rocked the Barbados team, batting with four late wickets on an eventful opening day of the third-round Carib Beer Cup grudge match at the 3Ws Oval here yesterday when 14 wickets tumbled for 217 runs.

After Barbados, the Cup holders and joint front-runners with Jamaica were bowled out for 202, Bennett, one of seven Barbadians in the CCC team, produced a stunning five-over spell from the southern end to reduce Corey Collymore's side to 15 for four by the close.

Bennett, who has played at the first-class level for Barbados, had Dale Richards leg before wicket off the very first ball of the innings.
