Bobb keeps Windwards alive but Jamaica on top

KINGSTON, Jamaica, (CMC) – Alston Bobb’s 11-wicket haul kept Windward Islands Volcanoes in the match but Jamaica were still in command at the end of the second day of their WICB Professional Cricket League first round match yesterday.

The left-arm spinner followed up his six-wicket first innings haul with five for 46 as Jamaica, leading by 98 runs, fought their way to 148 for nine in their second innings at Sabina Park.
They lead by 246 heading into today’s penultimate day.
Nkrumah Bonner has top-scored with 41 while wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh stroked 31 and tail-ender Damion Jacobs, 29.
Seamer Mervyn Mathew supported Bobb with three for 19, and it was his new ball burst that left Jamaica in disarray at 23 for three inside the first six overs of the innings.
He removed Shacaya Thomas for one with his first ball of the new innings, before claiming both Jon-Ross Campbell (15) and Test batsman Jermaine Blackwood without scoring, in his third over.
Bonner then counter-attacked with three fours and two sixes, adding 43 for the fourth wicket with captain Tamar Lambert who scored 11.
Baugh followed suit, striking five fours off just 26 deliveries.
Earlier, the Windwards were dismissed for 110, after resuming the day on 16 for three.
Bobb made his presence felt with the bat by top-scoring with 38 while 19-year-old fast bowler Marquino Mindley finished with five for 35 and left-arm spinner Nikita Miller, four for 25.
