PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten, CMC
HEAVY OVERNIGHT and morning showers caused play to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, on the fourth day of the Carib Beer Series match between the Leeward Islands and Jamaica at the Carib Lumber Cricket Ground yesterday.
Several wet spots on the outfield and seepage onto the pitch, caused umpires Hector Gumbs and Billy Doctrove to rule play out for the day.
Jamaica were dismissed at the close on Sunday for 448, responding to the Leewards' first innings total of 510 for nine declared.
SCORES:
LEEWARD ISLANDS 510-9 declared (Wilden Cornwall 111, Ridley Jacobs 104, Shane Jeffers 67, Sylvester Joseph 61, Stuart Williams 51, Omari Banks 31; Marlon Samuels 3-94, Nikita Miller 3-112).
JAMAICA 448 (Dave Bernard 102, Donovan Pagon 84, Xavier Marshall 62, Nikita Miller 48, Marlon Samuels 46, Tamar Lambert 34; Kerry Jeremy 5-76, Omari Banks 2-141).
