KRAIGG BRATHWAITE and Shai Hope both hit attractive centuries yesterday to put Barbados in a strong position on the opening day of their Digicel Regional 4-Day eighth-round match between Barbados Pride and the Guyana Jaguars at Kensington Oval.
Barbados took full advantage of Brathwaite’s decision to bat after winning the toss, closing on 293 for two.
Brathwaite, in his 50th match for Barbados, celebrated the occasion with his tenth regional and 18th first-class century, while Hope scored his fifth first-class hundred and will resume today on 118.
Brathwaite added 45 for the first wicket with Anthony Alleyne, who was dismissed immediately after the first water break when he nibbled at a delivery from left-arm medium-pacer Raymon Reifer and was caught behind by wicket Anthony Bramble for eight. (PH)
