ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – Wins for T&T Red Force, Wind­ward Is­lands Vol­ca­noes, and Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons mar­gin­al­ly trumped the rare ac­com­plish­ment of Lee­ward Is­lands Hur­ri­canes open­er Mikyle Louis hit­ting hun­dreds in both in­nings of the same match in the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship on Fri­day.

The Kit­tit­ian fol­lowed up his maid­en first-class hun­dred of 113 in the first in­nings with a res­olute 130 be­fore hosts Hur­ri­canes were bowled out for 295 in their sec­ond in­nings on the third day of their sec­ond-round match in St Kitts and set de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Guyana Harpy Ea­gles the high­ly im­prob­a­ble if not im­pos­si­ble tar­get of 460 to win.

2016 Un­der-19 World Cup-win­ning pair of pac­ers Shamar Springer and Ryan John shared sev­en wick­ets to set up Vol­ca­noes for a nine-wick­et win against Bar­ba­dos Pride in their top-of-the-ta­ble match in Ja­maica.

Dis­card­ed West In­dies pac­er An­der­son Phillip and off-spin­ner Bryan Charles shared eight wick­ets, and Red Force made up for time lost in their washed-out first-round match, com­plet­ing a six-wick­et win against the Crick­et West In­dies Acad­e­my in the oth­er match tak­ing place in St Kitts.

A de­struc­tive spell from teenaged leg-spin­ner Zis­han Mo­tara was over­shad­owed by a bat­ting col­lapse from his Com­bined Cam­pus­es & Col­leges Ma­roon­ers that sparked a morale-boost­ing, 10-wick­et win for hosts Scor­pi­ons.

AT THE CONA­REE CRICK­ET CEN­TRE: Phillip was the pick of the Red Force bowlers tak­ing four for 33 from 11.1 overs, and Charles end­ed with four for 57 from 17 overs, and the CWI Acad­e­my were bowled out for 224 in their sec­ond in­nings.

Home­town kid Car­lon Bowen-Tuck­ett, son of for­mer Lee­ward Is­lands and West In­dies all-rounder Carl Tuck­ett, led the way for the Acad­e­my with 46 not out and shared 55 for the eighth wick­et with Joshua Bish­op to add some re­spectabil­i­ty to their side’s to­tal.

Start­ing the day on 84 for three, the emerg­ing play­ers’ side lost Mbe­ki Joseph in the first half-hour with­out ad­di­tion to his overnight score of 34.

They slumped to 155 for sev­en be­fore Bish­op, bat­ting at nine, came to the crease and of­fered a pe­ri­od of re­sis­tance with Bowen-Tuck­ett to get them past 200 be­fore Phillip snared the last three wick­ets in a dev­as­tat­ing sec­ond spell.

Bish­op trig­gered a few pan­icky mo­ments in the op­po­si­tion camp, tak­ing three for 28 from eight overs be­fore Red Force ner­vous­ly crawled past the 59 re­quired to win.

AT WARN­ER PARK: Play­ing on home soil, Louis re­sumed from his overnight score of 37 and was the glue that held the Hur­ri­canes bat­ting to­geth­er af­ter they con­tin­ued from their bed­time to­tal of 52 for one.

He de­fied a de­struc­tive spell from Harpy Ea­gles cap­tain Kevlon An­der­son and struck 11 fours and five six­es from 168 balls.

Louis be­came on­ly the sec­ond Hur­ri­canes bats­man and 11th over­all to score hun­dreds in each in­nings of a match in the mod­ern era of the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship (1966 on­wards).

He shared 63 for the sec­ond wick­et with West In­dies white-ball bats­man Kea­cy Car­ty who gave the home team an ear­ly foun­da­tion be­fore An­der­son un­der­mined their bat­ting with his un­com­pli­cat­ed bowl­ing and fin­ished with five for 57 from 15 overs.

Car­ty sup­port­ed with 34, and Col­in Archibald, bat­ting at nine, made 31, but the rest of the bat­ting fold­ed meek­ly.

Harpy Ea­gles then suf­fered an ear­ly set­back when open­er Matthew Nan­du fell to burly off-spin­ner and Hur­ri­canes cap­tain Rah­keem Corn­wall for 12.

West In­dies Test open­er Tage­nar­ine Chan­der­paul, son of for­mer Guyana and West In­dies cap­tain Shiv­nar­ine Chan­der­paul, and Ray­mond Perez bat­ted through the re­main­der of the day and put on 55 – un­bro­ken – for the sec­ond wick­et.

Chan­der­paul was not out on 40, Perez was not out on 20, and Harpy Ea­gles were 67 for one when stumps were drawn.

AT KENS­ING­TON PARK: Bar­ba­di­an all-rounder Springer showed his home team what they were miss­ing, tak­ing four for 44 from 12 overs, and John fin­ished three for 28 from 11.1 overs, and Vol­ca­noes bowled out Pride for 126 in their sec­ond in­nings about 50 min­utes be­fore lunch.

For­mer West In­dies Un­der-19 bats­man Kevin Wick­ham was the on­ly Pride bats­man who of­fered pro­longed re­sis­tance, hit­ting the top score of 74.

Pride again failed to ease wor­ries about the sta­bil­i­ty of their bat­ting, af­ter they con­tin­ued from their overnight to­tal of 72 for four.

Springer re­moved West In­dies Test se­lectee Akeem Jor­dan for 15 and Wick­ham for eight be­fore Pride had reached 100, and John re­turned to mop up the tail.

It took Vol­ca­noes about 20 min­utes to clear the 16 re­quired for their sec­ond vic­to­ry for the sea­son that pro­pels them pro­vi­sion­al­ly to the top spot in the ta­ble on 39 points.

AT SABI­NA PARK: Mo­tara took three of the last four Scor­pi­ons first-in­nings wick­ets and end­ed with sev­en for 108 from 31.2 overs, and the hosts were bowled out for 331 about 25 min­utes be­fore lunch with a first-in­nings lead of 24.

Peat Salmon start­ed a day that proved his all-round ca­pa­bil­i­ty with 45 that propped up the bot­tom half of the Scor­pi­ons bat­ting af­ter they start­ed the day on 259 for six, re­ply­ing to the Ma­roon­ers' first in­nings to­tal of 307.

Salmon, bowl­ing his off-spin, then bagged four for 12 from sev­en overs, and pac­er Gor­don Bryan sup­port­ed with three for 19 from nine overs, and Scor­pi­ons bowled out Ma­roon­ers for 87 in their sec­ond in­nings about 15 min­utes past the sched­uled tea break.

Chad­wick Wal­ton, not out on 46, and fel­low open­er Car­los Brown, not out on 19, then wast­ed lit­tle time get­ting the Scor­pi­ons past their tar­get of 64 about half-hour past the sched­uled tea break.
