COMBER, Eire, CMC – Former West Indies Underneath-19 pacer Johann Layne impressed with a damaging spell that gave the sting to the Cricket West Indies Academy in opposition to hosts Rising Eire of their weather-affected, first-class match on Tuesday.
The lanky 20-year-old Barbadian grabbed 4 for 66 from 15 overs and enabled the Caribbean facet to limit the Irish crew to 219 for six of their first innings on the shut on a truncated first day of the four-day match at The Inexperienced.
CWI Academy confronted resistance from the decided opener Christopher De Freitas, whose 88 has been the highest rating up to now. Gavin Hoey supported with 31. Morgan Topping, certainly one of their batting nemeses from the previous One-day matches, was not out on 24, and Cade Carmichael made 20.
Layne made early inroads into the Rising Eire batting when play began three hours later than scheduled due to moist circumstances brought on by hostile climate, and West Indies, with a strategic choice, gained the toss and determined to area.
He eliminated opener James McCollum for seven and Rising Eire captain Stephen Doheny for 10, whereas CWI Academy captain Nyeem Younger received Gavin Roulston caught behind for six earlier than the house crew reached 101 for 3 at tea.
The guests met stiff resistance from De Freitas, not out on 63 at tea, and the left-hander continued to plunder runs after the break in a 65-run, fourth-wicket stand with Carmichael.
Layne eliminated them in successive overs earlier than Topping entered to anchor a few tidy partnerships with Hoey – who left-arm spinner Joshua Bishop bowled – and Thomas Mayes, not out on 18, earlier than stumps have been drawn.
The collection is a part of a reciprocal settlement between Cricket Eire and CWI, which was signed after the Rising Eire squad visited the Caribbean in November and December final yr.
