Another Duck - Captain - 01-14-2014
By Sean Devers
The National Cricket team, preparing for the 2014 Regional Super50 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago, went two-up in their six-match series against the Rest Team by inflicting a 150-run mauling against them in their second practice match at Bourda yesterday in a match reduced to 42 overs per side due to a late start.

Paul Wintz finished with 3-14, while West Indies ‘A’ Fast bowler Ronsford Beaton who bowled some pace, off-spinner Royston Crandon and Test leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo supported with a couple of wickets each to dismantle the Rest Team’s batting on a good track.
Trevon Griffith (12) got going with a magnificently timed back foot punch to the cover boundary but he soon fiddled at a ball from Stoll which he could have left alone.

Sars been poor in regional and party cricket games for almost 2 years now. He aint making runs vs easy bowling. He went from beating up Glen McGrath to total collapse.
