ROSEAU – Kevin Stoute hit a half-century and tried to set up a dramatic finish before the weather disrupted a match that promised much for the final time, forcing Barbados Pride to settle for a draw with Windward Islands Volcanoes in the Digicel Regional 4-Day Tournament yesterday.
Stoute struck four boundaries in an even, unbeaten 50 from 63 balls before the Pride declared on 200 for eight in their first innings, which was badly disrupted by the weather over the first three days of this fifth-round match at Windsor Park, in a bid to gain a few valuable bowling points.
Hometown boy Tyrone Theophile, not out on 27, and veteran left-hander Devon Smith, not out on 11, defied the Barbadians for 11 overs in close to an hour after the rescheduled tea break to reach 42 without loss, before the weather interrupted once more, bringing the match to an anti-climatic conclusion.
