Carib Beer Cup 2004
Round 2

Day 2 West Indies 'B' vs Trinidad and Tobago at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

Trinidad and Tobago pushed on nicely due to the brilliant batting Dwayne Bravo. Continuing from 24/3, Aneil Kanhai (10) was dismissed early, caught behind by Jason Bennett. Shazam Babwah then joined Bravo and the two added a good 102 runs with aggressive strokeplay before Bennett returned his fourth wicket, having Babwah (30) trapped in front, playing across the line.

This dismissal brought together the partnership of the game to date. Wicketkeeper Gibran Mohammed played a tame supporting role to the flamboyant Bravo as the two put on 126 runs to the close. Bravo charged on toward his 150 and brought it up with the same scoring shot that he helped T&T to a first innings lead with.

At the close of play Bravo stood at 168 unbeaten with Gibran Mohammed on 34. The score is 263 - a lead of 25 runs - going into the third day of the round two matchup. So far Bennett has been a mixed bag. Early on he bowled superbly, but fell away rather badly to go for runs as the day progressed. Still, he has decent figures of 21.2-2-82-4.

Play was ended early due light showers.

Day 2 Kenya v the Leeward Islands at the Valley, Anguilla.

Following on where they left off on day one, Maurice Odumbe continued to dominate in taking Kenya to a massive first innings score of 564 all out. On the day Kenya lost seven wickets for 204 runs and, off those runs Odumbe scored 133. Resuming on 74, he improved to a clear new highest FC score of 207 before falling to Virgil Browne.

Steve Tikolo presented a catch back to Cornwall without adding to his overnight 94 and Maurice Ouma (40) strode out and added 96 runs with Odumbe. Upon Ouma's dismissal, Obuya (0), FN Otieno (4), Suji (3), Ongondo (12) and Onyando (1 not out) didn't personally contribute much. However Odumbe continued to dominate and 102 runs were added for the final four wickets.

Elsroy Powell and Wilden Cornwall shared two wickets each and Browne and Jeffers took a couple.

In reply to the imposing total the Leeward Islands finished play with a decent response of 167/2. Alex Adams (90) and Shane Jeffers (28) added 70 runs for the first wicket and then Sylvester Joseph (37 not out) joined Adams to move the score to 161 before the latter was dismissed just before the close. Tonito Willett (3 not out) is the other overnight batsman.

Day 2 Guyana v Jamaica at Kingston, Jamaica.

Jamaica responded moderately to take a 48-run first innings lead and consequently points against Guyana. Losing the early wicket of Hibbert (1), Donavon Pagon (20) and Brenton Parchment (41) consolidated. By the time both were dismissed the score was 81/3.

This brought Dave Bernard Jr. to the crease and, with Tamar Lambert, he added 97 runs to the cause. Both eventually perished to Neil McGarrell for 51 and 55 respectively as McGarrell started on his way to figures of 4/45.

Only Nehemiah Perry (33) made any significant contribution in the lower order and the innings wrapped on 270 all out. Nagamootoo grabbed 4/70 in the innings. Batting a second time Guyana reached stumps in trouble, losing Chattergoon (4) to Dave Bernard on what was the final ball of the day. The score that they will resume on today is 14/1.
