KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Barbados Pride opted to bat out the final day, forcing a tame draw against Jamaica Franchise in their tenth round WICB PCL contest at Sabina Park yesterday.
Resuming the day on 168 for two and already a lead of 250 runs, the visitors opted not to open up the game with a declaration, and finished on 303 for nine in their second innings.
Both teams agreed to call of play an hour before the scheduled close.
Captain Kraigg Brathwaite converted his overnight unbeaten 78 into a top score of 90 while Roston Chase and Kevin Stoute both chipped with scores of 43.
Shamarh Brooks, unbeaten overnight on 21, made 38.
Fast bowler Jason Dawes claimed three for 44 while off-spinner and captain Tamar Lambert picked up three for 61.
Brathwaite and Brooks stretched their third wicket stand to 65 before parting ways, when Brooks was bowled attempting a sweep at Lambert.
The right-handed Brathwaite was sizing up his 13th first class century when he edged a pull through to wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton off Lambert.
Overall, he faced 324 balls in nearly 7-1/2 hours at the crease and hit seven fours.
On 203 for four at lunch, the only highlight of the afternoon was a 70-run stand between Chase and Stoute, as the game drifted.
