Barbados take driver’s seat

Enterprising partnerships along with half centuries from Anthony Alleyne and Shane Paris firmly placed Barbados in the driver’s seat over the Windward Islands going into the final day today of their first round WICB three-day tournament at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground.

The Barbadian youths batted diligently and formalised their push for an outright victory with at least 90 overs of play today. Barbados closed day two on 293-8 from 94 overs after they had wrapped up Windwards, six overs into the morning session for 148 from 53.3 overs,
