Easy win for Westmoreland...Baugh lashes quickfire ton

A dominant Westmoreland cruised to a 10-wicket victory over Trelawny as second round action in the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) Super Cup continued at the Allan Rae Oval yesterday.

Chasing a total of 168 Trelawny, who had been forced to follow-on after being scuttled out for 68 the previous day, resumed on 55 for two. However, they only managed to add 45 runs to the total and were all out for 100, setting Westmoreland a measly target of one-run for victory. Rupert Green top scored with 35 runs, while Evan McKinnis did most of the damage with the ball, recording bowling figures of four for 16. Myron Wilson, who top scored for Westmoreland the previousday, bagged four for 33.

At Melbourne: A dazzling knock of 118 from captain Carlton Baugh Jr. and a brutal 101 from St. George's College schoolboy Sheldon Smith, led Melbourne to a hefty 440 all out and first innings points against the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF).

Loss of wickets

Chasing a total of 249, Melbourne, which started their reply well on Saturday afternoon and were 58 without loss, did not have similar good fortune at the start of the second's day play as they lost both overnight batsmen without much addition to the total.

However, Donovan Pagon and Marlon Samuels, dropped for the West Indies tour of England, put together a worthwhile partnership in which Samuels scored 30 and the former 37.

Baugh, who came to the crease with the score at 230 and first points in sight, slammed 10 fours and three sixes before giving up an easy top-edged catch to Joseph Palmer off the bowling of Mark Grey.

After Baugh departed it was Smith's turn to continue the onslaught as he raced to 50 and then to 100 off 73 balls. Smith, before being bowled by Fabian Anderson, constantly had the groundstaff searching for new balls as he blasted five fours and an unbelievable 10 sixes, leaving the JDF bowling attack low on both morale and confidence.

Responding to Melbourne's total, the JDF, in its second innings, were 35-4 at the close of play.

No result

At Kirkvine: THE contest ended in a no-result as Lucas, resuming on 17 for three in reply to Manchester's 236 for eight wickets, were 78 for seven when rain stopped play. Tarick Cousins scored 26 for Lucas, while for Manchester's Nieve McNally picked up three wickets for 13 runs, and Damian Sangster grabbed two for three runs.

At Alpart: Hosts St. Elizabeth secured first innings points in their drawn match against St. Catherine Cricket Club.

Batting first on Saturday, St. Elizabeth compiled 188 all out with Howard Powell top scoring with 41. St. Catherine were bundled out for 147 in reply, a deficit of 41.

In their second innings, St. Elizabeth tallied only one more run than their first innings - 189 - to set St. Catherine a victory target of 230. The Saints were 57 without loss when rain caused play to be called off.

AT KENSINGTON: Kingston, resuming at 41 for one, scored 235 all out to take first innings points off hosts Kensington in their drawn match. Jowayne Robinson top scored for the Tigers with an even 50. Kensington, who were bowled out for 183 on Saturday, were 40 for one when play was called off.
