WI local: Wanderers take lead after tame draw

Mark Sealy carved his way to an unbeaten 102 and Stephen Leslie assisted with 50 not out in an unbroken fourth wicket partnership of 176 as Cockspur Wanderers took first innings lead against BNB St. Catherine in a tame draw.

Sealy went to the wicket at 125 for three, after wicket-keeper Patrick Browne brought off his second stumping when Owen Birch over balanced from a delivery that left him.

Fast bowler Victor Skeete served a number of short-pitched deliveries to Sealy, but he weathered the storm and survived for the next 108 balls in which he struck two sixes and 12 fours.

Leslie took his time to compile a well-played half-century which contained only three fours.

The pair took advantage of some short and at times wayward bowling which was not helped by some shabby fielding.

Pacer Brian Shepherd looked the most impressive of the bowlers.

After having Sean Armstrong (63) dropped at long leg last week, he was elated to capture his old schoolmate caught at slip by Dale Mason in the first delivery after tea. He also had Chris Humprey caught at gully.
