Tbh I just want him to get through his overs slightly quicker. That would be a start!

In Guyana, we have a proverb:

'Yuh can't force donkey to eat grass.'

Good to see Sherfane Rutherford picking up a few wickets.

We are playing the Scorpions. At tea, they are 196/6 after 60 overs. Brandon King made 51(96),8x4,1x6, Blackwood with 44(65),6x4

Bowling for the Jaguars:

Rutherford: 8-2-38-3
Romario Shepherd: 10-2-31-1
Permaul: 13-2-49-2

Good to see the Red Steel having some kind of resurgence in the last couple of rounds.

They are playing the Barbados Pride and are sitting nicely on 252/4 (63 Overs)
Lendll Simmons announced his return to red ball cricket with a spanking century: 138(152), 16x4, 5x6, Jason Mohammed on 73*(134), 11x4

Bowling for the Pride:
Marquino Mindley: 11-2-36-2
Kevin Stoute: 11-3-33-2

And in the other game, Volcano vs Hurricanes

Leewards are batting first, 170/3 in the 60th over. Montcin Hodge made 61(146), 10x4. Keacy Carty on 37*(107),3x4

Bowling for the Volcanoes:

Larry Edward: 22-10-35-1
Josh Thomas: 18-4-52-1

No Jeremiah Louis

Shepherd is getting the ball to swing real judiciously here. A good spell

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ahh good. Motie gets the wicket of the Jamaican skipper, Palmer for 29.

Scorpions are 228/7

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

8th wicket down.

Motie strikes again.

He is getting some purchase off the wicket. He was guilty earlier of bowling a few long-hops, far more than what is expected at this level of cricket. That is being reflected on his bowling figures: 13.2-2-58-2

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jason Mohammed currently on 96*

A good day so far for TT. They are 277/7 after 77 overs.

In fact, all of the games have over 200+ runs. Leewards just past 200 with 5 wickets in the bag

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

100 up for Jason Mohammed. His 7th in First Class cricket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Derval Green is playing a cameo here. Jamaica inching towards 300

 

[Tom Flint]

Very interesting to see Simmons playing against. What's his reason for playing red ball again? Does he have ambitions to play tests again?

I think it's more of a artillery to the TT team. They brought in Rampaul a few weeks ago, now Lendll on board.

Jerome Taylor is playing for the Jamaican team even though he retired from tests.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

300 for the Scorpions is up-- that means 3 bonus batting points

 

[Tom Flint]

Would it have anything to do with the first class players now being paid more?

I would love to give you a figure. But I can't find a single one so far.
If them boys want to play cricket, let them play.

Why Sunil Narine not in Windies one day or 20 20 team these days

Didn't you hear. He's a chucker.

I think it's brilliant they are back playing. If simmons was to get his head down and give it a fair go then there's potentially an opening spot still up for grabs as well as Campbell has done he hasn't secured it yet

We have a bunch of former/ex/current-test cricketers still on the joint:

Rampaul
Ramdin
Devon Smith
Jerome Taylor
Nikita Miller
Assad Fudadin
Blackwood
Johnson
Devon Thomas
Permaul
Kieran Powell

These are all the names on top of my head.
