 We continue, we continue, yes we continue to provide you with updates on the cricket West Indies four day championship with action from St Kitts and Nevis and Jamaica. Let's start at Chedwin Park where no player was possible on Wednesday due to a wet outfield in the encounter between Barbados Pride and Combine campuses and colleges. The match started today, half an hour earlier with Combine campuses and colleges winning the toss and electing to field. Gerard Morrisili is on location and joins us live. Gerard? Yeah, thank you so much Ricardo, I'm here at Chedwin Park. Of course, you know, day two completed. Of course, the first day of play possible right here, Combine campuses and colleges in their first first class game in over five years, seven years, closer to nine years. They won the toss against Barbados Pride and surprisingly chose to field first on, well we did know it was an impossible for play but that was because of a waterlogged field but the pitch was pretty decent for batting and Barbados Pride definitely made notice of that. We're scoring 344 for eight, declared in their first innings total of course. That was spearheaded by Kevin Wickham who scored 139 also Jonathan Drake's 84. There was a pretty good start for the CCC team. They got two early wickets, Craig Bratham and Shane Moseley but then Wickham and McCasky well McCasky and Drake's rather were at the crease and they had a really decent partnership up until the first session, until lunchtime and then from there it was all Wickham and Drake's who both got past the House Century mark after the full session with Kevin Wickham pushing on for a century and Drake's falling short for 84. I actually have Kevin Wickham here with me. It was a really good day for him. He batted tremendously, constructed his innards perfectly. Kevin let me talk to you now and just get an idea from you of how the overall day's play was for you. The day was pretty okay. Obviously when I made it into bat, it were three wickets down for about 100 and little and I knew that my job was just to bat as long as possible and I knew that if I bat as long as possible that I could take it very deep and get my team to a good total. Yeah well when you came out to bat you were, well you first started your innards, you were with McCasky. He seemed to be, you were with Drake's who seemed to be the aggressor in the partnership but then when he got up you took it from there and just changed gears. Yeah obviously we play as a team and Cricket is partnerships and knowing your role. See that might not be my game plan is to just probably not to support but I mean Drake's was going well so I had no choice but to take the bat seat and just watch him go. And it was a bit difficult when I first started but as I got in it became easier and I capitalised. Of course it helped that you were dropped a couple of times two in your innards. But of course you know the conditions here despite having a waterlogged field the pitch seemed pretty comfortable to bat on do you agree with that? Well the pitch is a bit up and down but it's still very good to bat on. Once you watch the ball as long as possible you could get a decent score. Kevin will 9-4-1 but Baylor's probably pretty much leading this one. Do you think you're going to be able to push on and make combat canvases and colleges bat a second time tomorrow? Yeah it will not be easy obviously as I said the pitch can only get better and it's staying a bit lower already so I mean once you put the ball in the right areas you give them a challenge and put them on the bat for early tomorrow morning and we keep pushing for victory. Thank you Kevin and well played today good knock. Yeah so 139 there from Kevin Wickham the centurion on today's play. So the scores here quickly Baylor's pride 344-4-8 declared in their first innings and at the close of play combat canvases and colleges they're 9-4-1. So by Baylor's pride they have a lot to work on tomorrow if they want to make combat colleges and campuses and colleges back a second time tomorrow of course they will be pushing forward as you heard Kevin Wickham say and yeah that's it from Chadwin Park on day two of the West Indies Championship. Yeah thanks very much. Gerard there from Chadwin Park Kevin Wickham lands 139 from 135 deliveries 8-4's and 9-6's and he didn't want to speak too much about the fact that he was put down a couple of times but I told you about the one that Jonathan Carter put down when he was on four but when you play this game of cricket there are going to be days when you get opportunities you have to make use of them and Kevin Wickham definitely made use of them today. Yeah quality player we saw him at the under 19 World Cup and he definitely showed his quality there. He's only 20 years old and he's also coming off 100 in the West Indies A series against the Ireland emerging team which was just a couple of months ago in December he had made a hundred in that last match along with Kevlin Anderson who is now captaining the Ghana Harper Eagles team both of Harper Eagles both of them had scored hundreds against the Ireland emerging team so back to back hundreds in matches here for Kevin Wickham and great to see the 20-year-old putting his head down in that discussion there with Gerard Morris-Sealy he did suggest that there were parts of the innings that he wasn't playing his natural game because Drake's was the man Jonathan Drake's who was pressing the gas and he was just supportive but you know good that he was able to apply himself and get a hundred this is what we need to see from these 20-year-olds playing first-class cricket having this big appetite for runs. Yeah very much the case next time I want him to get to that century without giving any chances but you have to give him credit for his performance today. Barbados pride with Craig Brathwaite the West Indies captain in their setup also with Zakir Makasky at the top of the order just returning from Australia although he did not play in any of the test matches Makasky neither of them getting off though Brathwaite going for seven Makasky making 30 and one of the things I always want to see Lance it's great when the up-and-coming players do well in your regional competitions but you want the players who are at the West Indies level that when they step down to the regional level that they dominate and I've not really seen any of the West Indies lead batsmen on the first two days of this tournament really dominate yet and I've been looking forward to that for the remainder of this tournament. A solid point that you're making there Ricardo because I've had that discussions many times even from my school days when there were times where there were players who were representing Jamaica and even the West Indies and you know there are a couple of my teammates at Wolmers who were playing senior cup cricket and they would come to school on a Monday morning boasting that they got the wicket of so-and-so and I'm suggesting that you know if I were a West Indies player and I'm coming back to play domestic cricket the last thing I want is for a schoolboy to get me out and I think that international players playing domestic cricket in their regions should be bullying the bowling they should make it very very evident that when they come back to play that this is not their level that their level is a lot higher so I agree with you 100% Ricardo that I think our West Indies players in regional cricket should be scoring a lot of runs they we want to see them scoring a lot of runs and having the appetite for beginnings. Yeah and I think it's even more important these days because the West Indies team is not as strong as it used to be so as part of continuing to build that you want the players that you are investing in that you are saying this is my frontline setup to dominate at this level and show that they really belong there and show that they are learning at that level and making the improvements at the lower level to go back to the higher level and do even better. All right let's move away from Chedwin Park then and head to Sabina Park where the Winner Islands Volcanoes responding to the Jamaica Scorpions first innings 159 all out where dismissed for 341 in reply they had resumed of course on 157 for two Johan Jeremiah what was the top scorer with 81 or 3 batsmen for the Winner Islands Volcanoes to get half centuries because there was 71 for Shamar Springer and there was 57 for Ryan John remember John had taken 5 for 43 on the opening day of that contest. Gordon Bryan was the pick of the Scorpions bowlers with 4 for 64 Pete Salmon the spinner got 3 wickets as well Meanwhile over in St. Kitts and Nevis a weather system passing over the Lesser Antelies forced the day's play to be called off at both venues without the bowl being bowled. Here's a reminder of the day one scores at Connery Cricket Ground in St. Kitts Trinidad and Tobago Red Force electing to bat reached 215 before Badlite stopped play Jason Muhammad he is on 100 not out Tian Webster Contributed 50 against Ron Strad Beaton's 2 for 39 and at one point the Leeward Islands Hurricanes bowled out for 137 after being sent to bat and the West Indies Academy in reply 60 for 2 at the close of the opening day no play on day two in St. Kitts and Nevis and hopefully we'll be able to get play on day number three because we want to see as much cricket as possible. Yeah and good to see in that Windward's Volcano's match where some of the leading bowlers are getting runs as well. Shamar Springer and Ryan John having done well with the ball to get the Jamaicans out for their low total coming back and batting and getting some runs as well. Yeah well of course Grenada celebrated 50 yesterday 50 years of independence and Ryan John ensuring that he gives his special gift to his contrived five wickets yesterday and a half century today very well done. That's it for our cricket West Indies four day roundup second day of the competition first round we'll be back tomorrow it looks as if that match at Sabina Park will be completed tomorrow so I'm very sure that Gerard will be there and yeah we'll keep you very much updated here on the Sports Mag so let's take a break and come back and hear your thoughts and interactive.
