ST GEORGE'S-Barbados captain Kirk Edwards fell agonisingly short of his fifth first class century as his side got the better of the exchanges on the opening day of their final round Regional Four-Day match against Windward Islands in Grenada day. The right-hander, warming up for the start of the Test series against Australia starting later this month, was tragically run out for 99 but his knock helped Barbados to 192 all out, after they won the toss and batted at the National Stadium. At the close, Barbados had hit back strongly to reduce the home side to 65 for four with seamer Javon Searles taking all wickets to fall for 22 runs. (CMC).
