A brilliant six-wicket haul by left-arm spinner Kavesh Kantasingh and another half-century from Omar Phillips put the Floyd Reifer-led Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) in the driver's seat on yesterday's second day of the four-day first-class tournament against Trinidad and Tobago at Jarrett Park.
The 23-year-old Trinidadian finished with figures of 6-29 off 12.4 overs to restrict T&T to 107, responding to the CCC's 234 all out to trail by 127 on first innings.After talking first-innings points, CCC were well set at 105-4 in their second innings, thanks to 51 not out from Philips, who made 88 in the first innings on Friday, and lead by 232 runs.
For the second day, play was called off early as despite starting at 9:30 am yesterday, there were still 12 overs to be bowled when play ended at 4:50 pm due to a slight drizzle and poor light. Play on today's third day will start at 9:30 am. |

The Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) were restricted to 191 for seven on yesterday's shortened first day of the 2010 West Indies Cricket Board's four-day first-class tournament against Trinidad and Tobago at Jarrett Park.
After a one-hour late start, bad light prompted an early end with only 87 overs bowled when the CCC batsmen accepted the offer of bad light.
Sent in to bat on a damp pitch, the CCC batsmen with the exception of Omar Phillips, who hit a chance-filled 88, Romel Currency, who made 44, and Chadwick Walton, who was 25 not out -- struggled against the Trinidadian spinners, who accounted for five of the seven wickets to falling.
The experienced Amit Jaggernauth led the way for Trinidad with three for 56 off 30 overs, while Imran Khan got two or 47 off 19, with opening bowlers Ravi Rampaul and Richard Kelly getting a wicket each. |

For a little over an hour, the Windward Islands seemed to so near to batting's promised land. But then Jamaica's vice-captain Nikita Miller's bubble-bursting seven-wicket harvest left the visitors spellbound despite the heroics of their former captain, by close of the opening day of the first round regional four-day cricket match at Chedwin Park yesterday. Miller took seven for 28, his second best first-class bowling figures, as he sliced through the batting like a hot knife going through butter, with the visitors ending on 181 all out. Jamaica's openers faltered early into the response, but captain Tamar Lambert and Donovan Pagan steadied things to guide the champions to 36 for two when play ended an over early due to fading light. |

"What Peter tells me about Paul tells me more about Peter than it tells me about Paul - Sigmund Freud, Founder of Psychoanalysis (1856-1939). Here are some thoughts gleaned from various statements and press releases from the West Indies Cricket Board (WIBC). If you've had a chance to have read them, you might wonder as I do, where are the original thoughts and are these people capable of rectifying the dire situation of West Indies cricket? Firstly, the recent non-selection of the senior players for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champion's Trophy in South Africa is a case in point. |

Barbados held a slight advantage against the Leeward Islands on day one of the first day's play of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) regional four-day 2010 cricket series at Kensington Park in east Kingston yesterday. Barbados were 74 without loss at close of play with the enterprising Dale Richards on 45 and Jason Haynes on 19 after dismissing the Leeward Islands for 236 in 77 overs and five balls. After the Leewards won the toss and elected to bat, Barbados' quick bowlers Pedro Collins and Kemar Roach troubled both openers on a pitch that appeared a bit sluggish in the early exchanges. Left-hander Kieran Powell and Montcin Hodge were both lucky to have escaped with edges through the slip cordon. The former again must have thanked the heavens when he had his mid-stump knocked back by Roach, only to hear the umpire's call of no-ball. |

 Kieron Pollard emerged winner in the clash of the Trinidadian all rounders in the Twenty20 KFC Big Bash in Australia. Pollard smashed a belligerent half century at the Adelaide Oval and pocketed two wickets as he came out head-and-shoulders above his more illustrious countryman – Dwayne Bravo.
Pollard’s South Australia Redbacks are now on the verge of the finals after defeating the Victoria Bushrangers by a massive 91 runs.
Pollard cracked a top score of 52 from 22 balls including four thunderous sixes to add to his three fours as the Redbacks piled on 202 for 7 from 20 overs. |

It was with bemusement and surprise that I perused last week's Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) squad that will compete in the shortened WICB regional four-day first-class championship this season. The philosophy which presumably underpins the formation of the CCC team is the mobilisation of a core of players from the tertiary institutions across the region who possess the requisite aptitude and attitude for the game; who fall just below the first-team standard of their individual territories; who can provide options for the West Indies selectors in the future, and who will simultaneously function as a development squad. Further, I assume that the CCC was conceptualised to ensure the sustainability of cricket within these institutions against the backdrop of other competing sports - athletics, football and basketball - which offer more attractive incentives, like scholarships. |
