Shakib’s magic

SHAKIB AL HASAN did something on Saturday night that most bowlers only dream of.
The thousands of spectators packed into Kensington Oval witnessed Al Hasan produce a bowling performance for the ages to lead the Barbados Tridents to a four wicket win over the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
The Bangladeshi left-arm spinner took six wickets and conceded just six runs from his four overs, breaking the previous T20 bowling record in the Caribbean of five for five set by Delorn Johnson of the Windward Islands against Barbados at Kensington in 2012.
The best figures ever are Arul Suppiah’s six wickets for five runs for English county Somerset against Glamorgan.
