Red Team, 112 for five, beat Blue Team, 111 all out, by five wickets.Red Team levelled the national team trials series with a thrilling final-ball win over Blue Team at the National Sports Centre last night.Chasing a low 112 to win, Red still needed a scrambled single from Justin Pitcher off the final ball of the game after a Blue bowling display that almost gave them the most unlikely of victories.They might even have won at the death, as Pitcher got in just ahead of Lateef Trott’s throw, although he would have been out if a member of the Blue Team had been behind the stumps.As a snapshot of the game that incident summed up Blue’s evening, and if their fielding had been even marginally better, they would have won by some distance.Their failure to run out Dion Stovell on at least three separate occasions ultimately cost them the game, as the opener scored 52 of his side’s winning total. It wasn’t one of Stovell’s best innings, but on a night when the batting on both sides was less than impressive, it was enough.Stovell and Kamau Leverock (21) put on 41 for the fourth wicket, taking their side from 46 for three to 87 for four in what was easily the biggest partnership of the day.Blue’s bowlers didn’t make the run chase easy however, and none of the five that were used conceded more than 29 runs from their four overs. In the end though it wasn’t enough to outweigh a batting performance that left a lot to be desired.Stephen Outerbridge (28), Dennico Hollis (21) and Chris Foggo (14) aside, none of the other batsmen made it into double figures. However it was the collective failure of the team to score quickly enough that really cost them.Of the 122 balls that they faced, they failed to score off 54 of them. Or, they wasted 44.2 percent of their innings, as a team they managed just seven boundaries, all fours, and Hollis’ 21 came from 33 balls.Much of that had to do with the tight spin bowling of Rodney Trott and Joshua Gilbert, who took five wickets between them, with Gilbert taking three for 14 and Trott two for 16. The pace bowlers did their bit as well, and Justin Pitcher was much tidier than in the first game, taking two for 21 from his four overs.Pitcher got things started, having Fiqre Crockwell caught behind, and then knocking Sammy Robinson’s off-stump back with a ball that moved away from his St David’s team-mate. At 23 for two, Blue were struggling, but the real damage was done in the middle overs, when they slumped from 70 for three, to 85 for seven.The loss of Lionel Cann, who was bowled by Stovell, for just five didn’t help matters, and when Malachi Jones was out for nine it seemed like they might struggle to reach three figures. In the end a couple of big blows from Kevin Tucker got them across the line before the innings came to an end when Kyle Hodsoll was out from the first ball of the last over.The Red reply started promisingly enough, even though Oronde Bascome was out early on hooking a ball straight to Hodsoll on the mid-wicket boundary.However, Stovell came out all guns blazing and was swinging merrily at anything that came within reach.Like the Blue Team’s innings though that meant that a lot of scoring opportunities were missed. Blue though made their fair share of mistakes, including blowing two run outs in one over, when Stovell and OJ Pitcher both found themselves at the same end.Robinson bagged the wickets of OJ Pitcher and Deunte Darrell in the tenth over, and at 51 for three the game was evenly poised.Stovell and Leverock set about rescuing the situation, helped by some more poor fielding which saw Stovell dropped twice, before he was eventually caught on the boundary by Hollis.Jason Anderson (13) arrived in his place, and while Justin Pitcher hit the winning run, it was Anderson that really settled matters.Needing nine to win off the final over, Hodsoll sent down a wide before having Leverock caught on the boundary.Anderson, whose strike rate was around 50 percent before the over started, threw everything at the third ball and it went sailing for six over gully.Hodsoll did his best to save the situation, and if Blue Team had been sharper in the field, he might well have succeeded.
