I can't believe I ate the whole thing
I guess credit has to be given when credits due. So for Corrin's 6 wicket haul, I say congratulations to Gray, Garven and Bosco for scoring centuries.
Haha nah hey, well done to Martyn Good match winning effort.

FWIW Nick's been on a couple A tours like Weber and Cunningham, so they were given this match off to try all the new guys. So it doesn't nessary mean you will make the final XI for WI A match. Though the hundred and the fact all three have batted in the middle order at times will help your selection.

Hmmm... 4 wickets isn't too bad, but it seems that the ball followed me in the field and maybe the pre-match sleeping pills were a bad idea.
At least the match has given Corrin something other than 251* to talk about though.

Big test in store for Cricket Web 'A'
Daren Ganga leads a powerful West Indies 'A' team against Cricket Web 'A' in the first Test tomorrow. The team contains nine players who have represented West Indies in international cricket, with only teenaged opener Adrian Barath and fast bowler Andrew Richardson apart. Unlike the senior team, the side heavily favours spin bowlers, with two specialists in Nikita Miller and Amit Jaggernauth selected. There is no room, however, for Dave Mohammed.

Congrats to Corrin, us greens will all be pushing for spots in the XI for the first "Test" - though it looks a very strong & well balanced squad. Also well done to the three centurions, not to mention all of the bowlers came away with at least some positives from that outing.

Cricket Web 'A' vs West Indies 'A' - Three Ws Oval
Day 1 - Wickets tumble on wet opening day
A total of 15 wickets fell between the showers on the first day of the first 'A' Test in Barbados. West Indies 'A' surprisingly chose to bat first in overcast conditions and struggled to handle the bounce and seam presented to them by the Webber fast men. The openers started well enough, but when West entered the attack he immediately initiated problems. West removed both openers in quick succession, and Martyn Corrin added Runako Morton for 13 shortly before an early tea. The rain seemed the freshen up the surface even more, and Heath Davis maximized on the helpful conditions with a post-tea brace.
The seamers continued to wreck the West Indian batting and reduced the score to 132-8 before Corrin wrapped up the innings with two wickets in two balls. West boasted the best of the figures - 4 for 26 - but Davis and Corrin chimed in well with 3 apiece. The Webbers knew they were in for a testing time, and lost Bosco Fitzsimmons (0) before the end of the fourth over. Nick Scott timed the ball well from the start, but after he hit 4 boundaries in 20, he picked out Devon Smith in the gully. Brendan Nash used his medium pace to sufficient effect to dismiss Jamee Gray (20) and Andrew Garven (5) miscued a flick to short midwicket.
In the few overs remaining the West Indies 'A' spinners tormented the batsmen and Jaggernauth bowled Rob Bowen in what proved the final over, as the batsmen were offered the light. Stephen Young was the only remnant from the feeble Cricket Web 'A' top order, not out on 31.

Day 2 - WIndies push ahead in lowscoring affair
After they conceeded a first innings deficit of 4 runs, West Indies 'A' batted considerably better in their second innings to reach 220-5 at stumps. Nikita Miller took four of the five outstanding Cricket Web 'A' wickets in the morning session, and the tourists crumbled to 148 all out. WI 'A' then began their second turn on a pitch still prone to inconsistent bounce. Heath Davis used that to his advantage to remove Adrian Barath with a snorter for 2. But after Daren Ganga (7) fell to Martin West at 30-2, the hosts knuckled down in recovery.
Aggressive batting in the third wicket stand resulted in the addition of 73 in quick time, until Runako Morton picked out mid-off with a loose shot. Devon Smith raised his fifty with a thumping cover drive and CW 'A' threatened to come undone by two dropped catches heading into the tea break. Early into the final session, Smith was out for 58, but the poor fielding quickly resumed and Brendan Nash received the first of two let-offs on the evening. He and Ryan Hinds built the total past 200, and while the latter was caught behind for 45 late on, Nash went to stumps well entrenched with 38 to his name.

Day 3 - Twists and turns abundant at the Oval
West Indies 'A' resumed on 220-5 and started in a hurry on day three. Brendan Nash dispatched the first two balls from Heath Davis through the covers for boundaries, and Carlton Baugh pulled the same bowler for a legside four. The Webber skipper, Martyn Corrin quickly brought himself on to replace his erratic fast bowler, and immediately he had Nash dropped behind the stumps. It was the third let-off for the Australian-born left-hander. And in Corrin's next over Nash rocked back to cut a boundary and raise his half-century.
He ultimately fell to the legspinner for 63, but much damage had already been done. That presented a platform for a Baugh erruption. He clattered 5 boundaries in the next four overs to bring up a fifty at almost a run-a-ball. Cunningham and Weber returned to the attack in partnership and restored some normality. They combined to take the last 4 wickets for 24 runs and ensured that Cricket Web 'A' would chase a challenging, but achievable, 311.
The Webber openers fought through a tricky period against the new ball and looked on course with a partnership of 56. At that score Nash upset the tourists again. This time with the ball, he picked up Bosco Fitzsimmons (22) and Stephen Young (0) in his first two overs. And after he had looked set, Nick Scott was undone by Amit Jaggernauth's doosra for another start of 32. Enter Gray to the generousity of attrocious fielding by the West Indies. He was dropped no less than thrice in the hour before tea. Jaggernauth was the main bowler frustrated, suffering two of the drops, and he saw Andrew Garven dropped too early into the final session. Gray was dropped a fourth time, by Morton, and when the home side seemed to have completely lost the plot, Jaggernauth took the fielders out of the equation to bowl Garven (40) with a doosra.
Rain intervened briefly and allowed CW 'A' to regroup. They resumed with positive intent, particularly expressed by Rob Bowen. He raced into the 30s and saw his partner to a tortured half-century. Gray got little further, however, as he edged Rampaul to slip on 56. There, Smith graciously held on and left CW 'A' needing 111 runs with half the side in the pavilion. Bowen continued to strike the ball cleanly and closed gap swiftly on his way to 51. The over after Baugh missed the stumping of Cunningham (on 15) Bowen played an enthusiastic drive and was caught at short extra cover. Cunningham was joined by his captain as the last recognized pair and they edged closer to the target with few problems. But with 55 needed Nikita Miller boasted the definitive golden arm. In the space of 10 balls he took 3 wickets, including Cunningham and Corrin. Davis managed to negotiate two balls until the close.

Though hopeful against the odds, Cricket Web 'A' were quickly ousted on the fourth morning. Amit Jaggernauth produced a trademark doosra to trap Tarick Weber lbw for 4. It was quick finish in front of an audience of 12.

Disappointing. We let Ganga score to many, I feel. Happy with my first innings bowling, but couldn't back it up in the 2nd dig.

Disappointing tstl. The batsmen clearly need to get used to wickets that do not resemble the A46 to Robbham.
