 A few minutes of the Sports Mac Zone for today and for the week in fact. Time for some cricket. Lovely cricket. It's day three of round six and the CWI Four Day Championship completed not too long ago and we will start our recap in Kingston at Sabina Park where the defending champions Guyana Harpy-Eagles continue to drive home their advantage over the Jamaica Scorpions. Gerard Morrisili is live on location. A twist of fate here I guess for the Guyana Harpy-Eagles. They are not too far from victory but they still have to work for it. It makes it still to get if they want to win as the Scorpions have 296 runs to win after closing the day on 123-4-2. Kurt McKenzie knocked out on a 38 and so too Brandon King, the captain, knocked out on a 13. So yeah it was a really good day. We will start by telling you how we got to this point. When we started the day, Jamaica Scorpions started on 153-4-9 a resumption from their day two score and with the first delivery of the day of day three, Nail Smith got rid of Marquino Minnelli for 13 and that ending the end is giving Guyana a 271 run lead. Well most people would have thought that they would have put the Scorpions back again with Kevin Imlak along with the coaching staff. They decided against that and decided to back a second time I guess to get some more cushion on their lead and not leave anything out of the chance for today and for tomorrow. The final day, well Guyana after Imlak got up to 44 he was dismissed. A really good innings from him. They didn't start as a tacky going to lunch on 64-2 but then they were able to really pick up the score and after that it became clear once Kevin Imlak came to the crease on 36 not how he ended. It became pretty clear that they wanted them to push on the scoring. Kevin himself started to attack the bowling a little bit more. Provided a couple chances he was dropped once Kevin Imlak also dropped on 9 not how but yeah it was a really good innings from them and after Kevin got out he decided that was enough and they ended on the 147-44 declared giving the Scorpions a mama 419 to win. Which also looked like a big mountain to climb but they also had a really good start. 23 not lost they went to tee a good watchful start from Carlos Brown and Javon Buchanan the debutant. Buchanan looked way more comfortable in this second time of batting than he did in the first innings but eventually he was dismissed a really good start from him though 32 he got but he was not very much disappointed because of the way he batted finally at the but Kurt McKenzie joining Brandon came at the crease and the two of them really saw the last day the last hour and it was a really good innings from both of them thus far but I'm sure that Versami Permault who did not bowl up until the last half hour of the game St. Clair, Kevin St. Clair won the bowl one over yesterday he got the majority of the bowling job to do today alongside the fast bowlers the Pacers but they did a really good job up until this point I'm sure Tevin who I'm going to speak to right now is not too disappointed with what his team has produced on day three what do you think Tevin about the day's play? Yeah I mean obviously we have a lead that we are very comfortable with as a case of now just getting the wickets the bowlers you know we did a very good job fortunately for Jamaican you know they batted well credit must go to them you know they were they were disappointed enough for any any chance that they didn't take but you know looking forward to tomorrow game is still in our favour for a few already because tomorrow morning it would be you know it would be very comfortable Tell me about the decision then now to put them into bat to bat the second time really and most people would have thought that you would have batted you would have made them follow on 271 you know you're not forfeiting your innings how the chance to bat it get even if they pass the proposal tell me a little bit about that decision Yeah there's more around the fact that we didn't want to bat on the last day we rather take the better part in wickets obviously the wickets are deteriorating so we want to obviously we have three spinners you know a team that we're going to use to our advantage in the back end so it was just important that we get a lead that we're comfortable with that we feel like you know they can't get to the last day and you know we feel very confident about you know what we did and the the space of the game at this moment We haven't seen Gudekesh Moti up until like the last 20 minutes of the day's play What was the reason behind that we saw more St. Clair today? Yeah I mean St. Clair obviously you know have two left arm batters are decreased most of the day so it was important that we get him in he did create some chances and unfortunately they didn't necessarily go away in terms of the umpire but you know he did create some trouble for them it just kind of must go to Jamaica they batted well you know that pair Alright thank you so much and I just want to say trust the win you think you can make it come here Yeah definitely two early wickets tomorrow and game Alright we look forward to see what happens on day four that was 10 with him at the end the captain of the band and a Hartman Eagles team so he had scored so far in this match my tell you I must say though Mckinsey before this in his had 220 runs from nine of his in his in this season so far he's batted really well the the question is can he push on get a good score and then allow this Jamaica Scorpion teams to win this game to go into the final round of fixtures on a high that's going to be a question only he can answer but he did provide an opportunity a missed stumping chance in the final over of the day's play not too much for them to worry about though but Brandon King immediately went down to him after that and told him to settle down and then he sought out the the end of the day and putting them in this position so let me remind you of the scores so far Hartman Eagles 424 and 147 for four declared and yeah Scorpion so far 153 and currently back in the second time 123 for two chasing 419 runs they still need a further 296 runs to win if they are to of course capitalise on the points in the sixth round against Ghana Hartman Eagles the defending champions it's back to you in the studio. Yeah thanks Gerard Marcily and good on the Guyanese they're there on course now for their fourth consecutive victory after being winless in their first two matches of the season they've won three straight and at the moment looking as if they're going to complete their fourth straight victory they started this sixth round about 14 points off the lead in fourth spot and the Lee Words aren't doing too well in their game against Barbados pride which we'll come to in just a moment so there is there is the possibility that the Hartman Eagles are still in striking distance to retain their title with a complete victory here and then let's see what happens in the next round let's have a quick look now at the other matches that were played today we're going first to Antigone Barbuda where the Wynward Islands won by 158 runs against the West Indies Academy the West Indies Academy their second innings bowled out for 121 Teddy Bishop the West Indies on the 19th player top scoring with 47 and Shamar Springer four for 30 the Barbadian who you might remember was part of the winning West Indies on the 19th work of team back in 2016 so the West Indies Academy 158 and 121 in their two innings so a comprehensive victory for the Wynward's volcanoes who have rebounded here for a victory after consecutive losses to TNT and Guyana at the Sir Frank Warhol Memorial Ground in Trinidad and Tobago the combined successes and colleges require 382 runs now to win at 67 for one tall order for them there the TNT team remember the Red Force that scored 591 for 7 declared and then the CCC 238 all out and in their second innings following on 67 for one so the Red Force on course for a victory there and they have been sort of inconsistent throughout the entire season. Queensborough was still in TNT Leeward's Hurricanes training Barbados by 156 runs Barbados you'll remember 542.9 declared with the Centres for Craig Brathard, Rostan Chase and Zachary Makasky the Leeward's 288 and then following on 98 for one 288 all out, Rostan Chase three for 47 so he's been having a good game. Casey Carty getting 127 so he stood tall for the Leeward's Hurricanes but he was the mainstay of their innings there and then in their second innings they're fighting hard here 98 for one following on Kyron Paul 52 can become one for none but really tough ask here for the Leeward Islands who still trail by 156 runs following on. So good action there in the West Indies four day championship with Leeward's Hurricanes facing trouble here as the leaders and could be surrendering their lead at the end of this round with the teams closest to them volcanoes winning already and the Barbados pride and the Guyana Harpy Eagles looking for victories as well starting the round in third and fourth spots. We go to break when we come back the final segment on the show for today and for the week back in a moment
