Edwards misses ton

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada – Barbados captain Kirk Edwards fell agonizingly short of his fifth first-class century as his side got the better of the exchanges on the opening day of their final-round Regional Four-Day match against Windward Islands yesterday.
  The 27-year-old Edwards, warming up for the start of the Test series against Australia was run out for 99 but his knock helped Barbados to 192 all out after they won the toss and batted at the National Stadium.
At the close, Barbados had hit back strongly to reduce the home side to 65 for four with seamer Javon Searles taking all the wickets to fall for 22 runs.
Chasing one of the three semi-final spots up for grabs, Barbados’ batting struggled as West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford snatched six for 77.
