Blyden hits century on UWI three-day debut

Blyden, the former Rahamut’s Evergreen captain, reminded his new club why they recruited him, lashing 103 to help steer UWI to 315 for six at the close of play. The right-hander, who played for the tertiary instutition in their T20 tournament, had 14 boundaries in his knock as he marshalled UWI to a commanding total. Opener Keron Thomas chipped in with an attractive 63 which featured 10 fours while Jasbour Findly struck 38. At the crease still are Akim Chandler with a quick-fire 47 not out (7 fours, 1 six) and Christanja Carey (24 not out).

The pick of the bowlers for Dreadnoughts was Jewan Ramroop with figures of two for 56. Andell Ruiz (1/23) and Keron Joseph (1/74) were also among the wickets.

Play resumes next Saturday with UWI keen on extending their first innings score against their Sangre Grande-based rivals.
