WINDWARD Islands Volcanoes off-spinner Shane Shillingford bowled his way into regional first class cricket’s record books yesterday.

The off-spinner took six Jamaican wickets to overtake former Guyanese leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo, who held the previous record with 326, as regional first class cricket’s all-time leading wicket-taker.
Shillingford ended with 6 for 31 off 19 overs and was the main destroyer of Jamaica’s small innings total of 102, on yesterday’s third day of the WICB Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day match 6th round.
Carlton Baugh Jr 24, and John Campbell, 22, were the main contributors for Jamaica, who went down by an innings and 22 runs.
Jamaica, batted first and made 204 in their first innings, to which the Volcanoes replied with 328.
Andre Fletcher was the highlight of Windward Islands’ innings with 120, for which he was named man-of-the-match.
Jamaica, with 57 points, now falls below the Volcanoes, who moved to 64 points with three rounds to play. Jamaica had beaten the Volcanoes by 13 runs when the teams met late last year in Jamaica.
