Monday, March 31 2003

Barbados took first innings points against Trinidad and Tobago today in Bridgetown. With a boisterous innings of 137 by Philo Wallace, the home team reached 288/7 at the close. For Wallace, it was his 9th regional century and his 12th in FC cricket. It was Wallace’s second century of the season, along with his 140 against the same opposition earlier this season.

With 13 fours and 5 sixes, the Bajan opener put the T&T attack to sword and brought up his hundred with two sixes off off-spinner Sooklal. Sooklal would eventually dismiss his abuser however, with a mistimed long hop. Wallace was dropped twice earlier in his innings, on 10 and 107. Barbados captain, Courtney Browne added 115 with Wallace and scored a stroke-filled 67.

Earlier, Trinidad and Tobago were dismissed with the addition of just 8 runs to their overnight total of 250/9. Collymore finished off with his 5th wicket of the innings and his 95 FC wicket.
