THE Leeward Islands Hurricanes and the Windward Islands Volcanoes played to an enthralling draw in their WICB Professional Cricket League (PCL) game at the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School in Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas on Monday.After rain almost made the first day impossible, the two teams put on impressive first-innings batting displays that meant there was no way of deciding between the teams.
Batting first, the Hurricanes romped to 327 all out from 106.4 overs of batting on the back of Rahkeem Cornwall’s 97 and good knocks of 41, 47, and 46 from Nkrumah Bonner, Orlando Peters, and Jahmar Hamilton respectively.
A century from Kavem Hodge (105), Devon Smith’s 85, Jerlani Robinson’s 47, Sunil Ambris’ 56 and Kyle Mayers’ 58 led a fightback ending at 389 all out.
Staring at a lead of 62, the Volcanoes did not bat as well in their second innings, but made it to 171 for eight before play ended.
Liam Sebastien was the best of the bowlers in the Windwards’ second spell of bowling with figures of four for 49.
The draw means the Windwards and the Leewards remain fifth and sixth in the tables with 41 and 36 points respectively.
The Guyana Jaguars on 107 have given a little ground to the Barbados Pride on 90 while the Jamaica Scorpions, in third on 60, are a whisker ahead of the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on 56.
