BARBADOS PRIDE recovered from a stuttering start against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on the opening day of the inaugural West Indies Cricket Board’s Professional Cricket League today.
Playing at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, Barbados Pride reached 85 for three at lunch after they were invited to bat by the hosts.
Captain Kraigg Brathwaite batted through the session and was on 41 at the break. His partner at the interval was Roston Chase on 24.
Brathwaite and Chase have featured in an unbroken fourth wicket partnership of 45 after linking up a 40 for three.
The pre-lunch victims were Omar Phillips (9), Dwayne Smith 10) and Jonathan Carter (0.) All three were removed by fast bowler Marlon Richards through the help of catches to wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin.
Barbados Pride were forced to omit experienced batsman Ryan Hinds and young wicket-keeper/batsman Shai Hope because of illness. (HG)
