Carib Beer cricket series 2005 - Barbados vs Jamaica

AT WINDWARD CRICKET CLUB – the script was all too familiar. The actors were different, but the theme was very much the same.

The batsmen have let us down. It’s up to the bowlers to bail us out.

This was the common line among West Indian supporters for most of the early 1990s when Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh were repeatedly forced to pick up the slack after the shortcomings of the batsmen.

For the second successive match, Barbados’ bowlers were pressed into action after another shoddy batting performance, and fast bowler Jason Bennett pulled the choke with a menacing five-wicket burst.

Jamaica hold a lead of 136 with three wickets intact.
