Monday 7th November 2016 c a r i b b e a n t i m e s . a g 15 LICB tips hat to Alzarri Joseph By Marver Woodley Young Antiguan cricketing sensation Alzarri Joseph has received congratulatory remarks from the Leeward Island Cricket Board, LICB on his retainer contract with the West Indies Cricket Board last week. The Board congratulated Joseph who one of 3 cricketers to receive the one year retainer contract, in a press release they hailed Joseph’s recent elevation along with his dynamic performances over the years. For his new stature the players are set to receive $100,000- $150,000 USD according By Marver Woodley The Liberta Blackhawks continue to warm the benches, after yet another appearance they were unable to get onto the scoreboards. Minutes before the feature game of the day on Saturday the Blackhawks were once again defeated this time at the hands of Former Premier Division champions SAP who utilized the match to build on their previous victory over Grenades FC, with 3-2 triumph at the ARG. Kemar Headley netted the three goals for SAP, while Coby and Jared Williams scored the two goals for Blackhawks. This will be the third game in a row since advancing into the Premier Division to the Board’s central contract agreements for West Indies players. To date Joseph had been featured in 10 first class matches for the Leeward Island Hurricanes taking 27 wickets with his best bowling performance of 7 for 46, he was also a member of the West Indies A team who finally placed the team on the International score sheets after a dismal year for their tremendous efforts against Pakistan. The other players to secure the one year agreement was 22 year old Shai Hope and 24 year old Jomel Warrian. Blackhawks continue to sit at the bottom of the table cont’d from pg 16 their second innings, and two of those went on to post hundreds. The fourth day began with South Africa on 6 for 390 and Australia knew that with quick wickets, they might give themselves the slim chance of a gettable target. As it happened, South Africa batted on to add 150 to their total for the loss of only two wickets. Vernon Philander was the last man out, bowled by Smith, who had not introduced himself into the attack until the 159th over of the innings, for 73. Keshav Maharaj had struck three sixes and provided some late entertainment with 41 not out from 34 balls. And earlier, de Kock had struck 64 before he was caught that the Liberta team has failed to find success. SAP however, advanced with seven points to head the tables after that game. Meanwhile the other match to be played in the double header showdown, Flow Old Road got the upper hand on Fitzroy Rewinding Piggott’s Bullets with a 2-nil win. at cover off Mitchell Marsh. His partnership of 116 with Philander had been the crowning frustration for Australia. Not that they helped themselves. Philander had been put down on 29 when he top-edged a hook off Mitchell Starc and at fine leg Josh Hazlewood ran around but parried the ball over for six, seemingly worried about stepping over the boundary. With just a little more awareness of his surroundings, he could have turned it into a moderately straightforward take. But it was symptomatic of Australia’s fielding in the second innings, during which several chances went down. There were also a couple of reprieves on review for de Kock, but Australia ABIIT upset Coaches in Business Volleyball By Carlena Knight ABIIT Millblades upset Ministry of Sports Coaches, 2-1 in the feature match on Thursday night in the Business Volleyball league.

Australia needed 539 to win. Only once in Test history has any team scored more than 500 in the fourth innings, and even that did not result in a win, for England’s 654 for 5 in the infamous timeless Test of 1939 came in pursuit of 696.
