 Yeah, well, after that very tough, just the facts, let's talk some more cricket on the Sports Mag Zone. Round three of the West Indies Championship, bowled off today with four matches in three countries. Let's start our day one recap at Sabina Park, where Jamaica's Corpians are taking on Barbados pride. Gerard Morrisili is live on location. Let's join him. Thank you so much, Ricardo. Yes, let me start with the position of the game. Jamaica's Corpians, they have a slight lead ahead of the Barbados pride team. They have a 249 run, 44 run lead ahead of Barbados, but in first Jamaica's Corpians, they would have been dismissed for 269 and Barbados pride at a close of play were 15 without loss. The standout so far for this game, Romain Morris, they were to keep a batsman's score in 97, not out. Kirk McKenzie and Carlos Brown, 40 each. And the Jamele Warkand, though he was good with the ball for the Bajans, 5-4-62. Just before I put this game into context, though, I must say, Ricardo, answer lands that this is a game, a fixture that is very much close to my heart. Seeing Jamaica and Barbados play against each other all the time is really good for me. It was my first game at the regional first class server, and it is a little bit disheartening to see, though, that first class cricket has come to this point where we hardly have any fans in the crowd, because I remember the first time I saw them at Wingward Cricket Ground in Barbados, it was a full house. But it's a little bit disheartening to see that things have gotten this bad and we need to do some work about it. But without further ado, let me give you a little bit of context into the game. Jamaica, they were put into by Barbados pride. In the first couple of hours, it was obvious that they just wanted to survive until lunch. They were scoring at about a run-and-a-half and over up until lunchtime. And then after that, Barbados who got one wicket in the lunch break, then pretty much took control in the first hour post-lunch session, and they got four wickets leaving Jamaica at about 130 for five within the first hour after the lunch break. But then Romain Morris, with his half-century, very close to a century here, just falling three runs short because he was dropped in the 30s by Shane Mosey. It was a really easy catch. One that you couldn't imagine a player of Shane Mosey's caliber dropping. But Romain Morris made full use of that, and he got all the way to 97, losing a few partners in the end. But Jamele Warkand, he was a bit of the stalemate between the two teams. It was a very level day. At first, it started with Jamaica on top. There were 92 for two at lunch. And then the Bajans, they took control post-lunch up until tea, where the score had shifted in the favor of Barbados. Of course, they would have liked to stay on top, but then that in his Romain Morris, he was instrumental. It was a very flat batting service, not too hard to bat on, not too difficult for the bowlers either, pretty much neutral. But yeah, the conditions here were really good. It wasn't too hot. We have another cold front on the island, so there wasn't really much for the batsmen to contain them in terms of the elements. So yeah, it was really good on both sides of the day. There was a pocket of crowd here, not enough, but they were very much cheering on Romain Morris and the Jamaica's Corp. team. Who is with me now? Romain, 97 not out. Of course, he would have been a little bit disappointed that OJ Shields could not stay on with you to bat until you got to that 100. But you must be satisfied with the innings. Yeah, I'm satisfied. I know I'm the semifinals first-class Corp. So I'm really elated and disappointed at the moment. But I mean, it's all a process. So I just can't build on this from here. 15 without loss now. Well, first, before we get there and you get your outlook, just talk to me about your construction of the innings. You were a little bit conservative at the start of your innings, but then a banter between you and Rashon Primus, you just fully switched on gears. What if you say to you and did that push you to go all the way out? Well, what you said to me didn't really bother me, but I like the banter, it's a part of the game. So that kind of gave me that extra motivation and that extra boost. So that just cannot build my confidence so much. And I just tend to build on that. And I got 97 today, unfortunately, I didn't get the 100. But as I said earlier, it's a process. And I just can't build on this from here. 15 without loss now on Barbeidah's pride. You're in the field now. Of course, you're behind the stumps. You have the best view of all. Do you see this Jamaican Scorpions team allowing Barbeidah to be skittled out and then go forward and carry a big lead over to the second innings? I mean, it's a decent cricket wicket. You know, what you put in there, you don't get out of it. Spend some time at the wicket, you'll get score. So I think it's neutral right now. So I just think tomorrow we can come and discipline and get the ball in the right areas and hopefully we can get a good start with a new ball. Thank you so much, Romain. I will play to you again. Thanks much. Yeah. So we did try to get an interview with one of the Barbeidah's pride players of especially Jamal Warican. Warican coming off of the physio bed. And yeah, so he was not able to join us. And yeah, so actually we can get Warican now. Warican is going to join us. Just bear with me a little bit, viewers, and Ricardo and Sir Lance. Jamal had to get a bit of rest before he came to speak to us. Jamal, it was a really good bowling performance from you. Are you satisfied with your output here today? I'm always satisfied with my work. We wanted to shoot the guys a less total. But unfortunately, we didn't do the job. But me personally, I'm happy with my performance. So hopefully tomorrow the guys will go back and put a big total on the board. Yeah, you have another five wicket hall in this series, I think it was your third, your second. And yeah, you must be really happy that the spinners are dominating, especially your bowling performances. Yeah, that's the plan to perform well for the team. They have barbers do well. So me getting too bad about favors is a plus for me. So I just want to count him more forward and count him performing well. Yeah, 15 without loss. You said you want to put a big score on the scoreboard. Do you think you have the batsmen that can do it? And who are you really hoping can fire for you? I think everyone has an important role to play. And I think we do have the capability and redress room to do it. So it can be a collective effort, a team effort. So when we come tomorrow, we'll come together and put a good score on the board. Thank you, Jamal. Thank you very much. Yeah, so that was Jamal Warikand there. So we have to watch this game very closely. Barbados Pride, Jamaica Scorpions, a fixture that is always full of vigor, a lot of pride as well. Yeah, point on that word again. There is, though, historically always a collapse in the second innings by one of these two teams. What we have to do is decide and see, well, wait and watch and see who will be that team to the collapse. So yeah, at the close of play here, Jamaica Scorpions 269 in their first innings. Barbados Pride 15 without loss. That's how it ended here at Sabina Park on day one, round three of the West Indies Championship. Yeah, thanks very much, Gerardo. Top four of the Jamaican left under Romain Morris, the second half century of the tournament. But 97 when the Scorpions were bowled out, Warikand 5-for-60 to another excellent performance coming from him. All right, let's head to Chedwin Park then. And this is where the combined campuses and colleges are taking on the Winwood Islands volcanoes, only just over 70 overs possibly in this match, 71.3 on day one because of a late start, damp areas to the outfield causing that, not for the first time in this regional four day championship that has happened at Chedwin Park. But the combined campuses and colleges bowled out for 204 at the close of play. Demaria Richard stopped scoring with 46 and there was also 43 for Damel Evelyn. So yeah, 204 all out and Cyrus taking 6-for-72 for the Winwood Islands volcanoes. So the volcanoes looking to continue their impressive start to the tournament. The Leeward Islands Hurricanes, they are taking on the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force. The Red Force bowled out for 137 banning first and Ched Gully top scoring with 30. So real disappointment that for the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, Jeremiah Lewy taking 3-for-38. Kevin Archibald, 3-for-28. The pick of the bowlers and Rakeem Cornwell chipped in as well with two for five and then at the close of play, the Leeward Islands Hurricanes getting to 105 for one. Mikhail Lewy, who we spoke to on this show yesterday out for 32, but Kyron Powell on 54. One of those test immortals for the West Indies. By the way, we got no question on that one today. Unfortunately, he's not on 54 with K-Security on 11. So the Leeward Islands Hurricanes very much in control of that encounter. And then the other match that's taking place, the Guy in the Harpy Eagles against the West Indies Academy, the defending champions, Harpy Eagles, finding themselves in a spot of bother at the moment. 175 all out for the Harpy Eagles. Ronaldo Mohamed, 13, not out the top score in this one. Matthew Nando getting at 28. And then, yeah, Joshua James fighting for 43 and Johan Lane, two for 27. The pick of the bowlers for the Eagles and the West Indies Academy, they're replying 96 for four. Kevin Sinclair taking all four wickets for the Harpy Eagles, four for 32. Rashon Worrell on 34 with Joshua Bishop on 33. And yeah, they will be looking to push on day number two because at this stage they trail by 79 runs at the close of day number one. So yeah, that is it for our regional four day roundup for day one of round three. Another massive disappointment, the big West Indies names not getting runs. And yeah, it's those who are fighting to get into the side who are putting up the big numbers. We'll be back with more on the Sports Mac Zone. We'll close it out with Interactive.
