Webheads cruise to boring victory
...and seal series 3-0
Cricket Web 'A' vs West Indies 'A'
4th OD at the Queen's Park Oval
It was another meek surrender by the West Indies 'A' team, as Sean Bennett guided Cricket Web 'A' to a 7-wicket win and an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. Bennett was unbeaten on 91 when victory came, with Cricket Web chasing just 187 for the result.
Though Daren Ganga won the toss, his batsmen could not vindicate the decision, slipping from an impressive position of 108/2 to 186 all out. Sylvester Joseph was again a key figure in the innings, but his composed half-century could not drive the home side on to greater things, and Tarick Weber continued his good series with 3 key wickets. Nath Patrick, playing his first game of the series, cashed in with 3 wickets at the end and finished with a 4-wicket haul.
Cricket Web 'A' lost Thamba Mamesh early to continue a poor run of OD scores for the man who dismantled the West Indian attack in the longer form. Bennett was reunited with familiar partner James Stedman, and the two looked to be building another solid partnership, though at a slower pace than typical. Stedman ultimately fell to frustration at the slowness of the surface, and Sean Fuller was allowed to build his first proper innings of the OD series.
He made the best of his opportunity, scoring a half-century in the cause. Unfortunately, he was out 5 runs short of the victory target. Andrew Garven scored a single off his only delivery then Bennett reverse-swept Breese to the boundary for the win.
West Indies 'A' 186 ao (45.3 overs)
Cricket Web 'A' 187/3 (46 overs)
Cricket Web 'A' won by 7 wickets.
