Windwards trounce CCC
published: Monday | March 3, 2008

GROS ISLET, St Lucia (CMC):

Windward Islands bounced back from two defeats in their first two matches to score an emphatic 10-wicket victory over Combined Colleges and Campuses on the third day of their Carib Beer Series match at the Beausejour Cricket Stadium here yesterday.

Set a victory target of 51, Windwards coasted to their target just after tea off just 37 balls, with Man-of-the-Match Devon Smith finishing unbeaten on 27 and his opening partner Miles Bascombe, 21.

The CCC started the day on 96 for three in their second innings, following on 198 behind the Windwards first innings total of 347 after having been dismissed for 149 at the stroke of tea Saturday. The situation was identical on yesterday's third day with the CCC being dismissed at tea for 248.

The highlight of CCC's innings was a knock of 101 by the veteran left handed Barbados and West Indies batsman Floyd Reifer but it was insufficient to save his team from defeat. Reifer started the day on 13 not out and posted his hundred in 275 minutes, facing 210 balls and striking 14 fours.

Shane Shillingford continued his impressive bowling form for the Windwards with a haul of four for 69 off a marathon 31 overs and while Deighton Butler claimed three for 65.

The Windwards then sped to their target to achieve victory and a maximum 12 points, their first points of the competition.

WASHOUT

AT SALEM, Montserrat: An impaired outfield, caused by overnight and early morning rain, forced the abandonment of play on the third day of the fourth round match between the Leeward Islands and Barbados yesterday. For the second successive day, not a ball was bowled at Salem Park as the playing area remained wet following adverse weather.

Though there was light rain around 12:45 pm and 2:05 pm, the weather improved but umpires Clancy Mack and Goaland Greaves ruled that play was still not possible.
