GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Another batting meltdown left Trinidad and Tobago Red Force with a plethora of questions to answer as they ensured another disappointing day in the Regional Four-Day Championship here yesterday.

Opting to bat first at the Guyana National Stadium, the visitors failed to capitalise and were dismissed for a paltry 162 in their first innings on a rain-hit opening day of the fifth round contest.

Fast bowler Roshon Primus continued to press his claim as a genuine all-rounder with a top score of 42 while wicketkeeper Steven Katwaroo got 24.
