Day 12: Kirkham claim series win in National Stadium

As the tour heads towards the final furlong KGS gave the Presentation Boys School in Grenada a lesson in line and length. The Presentation boys elected to bat first on a hot and humid day as showers hovered overhead. A few early wides soon gave way to consistent line and length as no fewer than seven bowlers turned their arm over. The pitch itself had very little pace and Adam Galley as skipper wisely used three slow bowlers to good effect. The middle overs of McCarthy and Wilson strangled the Presentation boys of many scoring opportunities and both finished with wickets in trying playing conditions. The innings was wrapped up by the impressive Brookes who came on at the death to claim three wickets in five miserly overs.

Chasing a modest 97 runs for victory in 35 overs on paper seems quite straightforward. The high temperature of wearing a helmet has certainly been uncomfortable for all batsmen. The Kirkham reply was soon underway and both Mollinga and Jones scored freely at the wicket. An opening partnership of 65 all but sealed victory. Mollinga's 37 emphasized the outstanding tour he has had with the bat as runs flowed in all directions. The target or 98 was reached for just the loss of three wickets and another resounding win on tour.
