KINGSTON – Opener John Campbell’s half-century averted disaster for Jamaica Scorpions but they remained in trouble against a fired-up Barbados Pride on a rain-affected second day of their third-round game in the Digicel Four-day cricket championship yesterday.
When rain, which forced the abandonment of Friday’s opening day, ended play at Sabina Park just after tea, the hosts were still wobbling on 157 for eight but it represented a huge turnaround from a precarious position of 52 for five in the morning session.
The left-handed Campbell led the recovery, stroking a top score of 60. Tail-ender Damion Jacobs weighed in with a valuable 30 and Andre McCarthy, 22.
The West Indies “A” player struck five boundaries off 142 balls in a knock spanning three and a quarter hours. (CMC/HG)
