Philip Spooner17-Nov-2001The bad patch of Barbados captain Sherwin Campbell continuedyesterday on Day 1 of the second Busta Cup trial match atCarlton Club.Campbell, who has failed to reach 40 in any level of cricketsince returning from injury in September, again looked ashadow of himself as the trialists encountered another lessthan-ideal batting pitch.The former West Indies opener scratched around for all of 40minutes in making just six before edging a loose drive fromthe pacy Fidel Edwards for Jason Haynes standing in as threeother regular keepers were absent to take an excellent catchto his right.While this was happening, Dale Richards was slaughtering thewayward bowlers to register a bold 48 not out with sevenfours and a huge hook for six off 58 balls. He took 17 fromEdwards’ first over, while Campbell was scoreless off tenballs he faced from Edwards.The pair added 51 for the first wicket, and so contrastingwere their styles, it appeared as though they were battingon two different pitches.But the day belonged to 17-year-old left-arm spinner DerickBishop who cleverly grabbed five for 41 from 20.1 overs inhis first bowling opportunity.The selectors should take note of this improving allrounder,not just for the way he spins the ball, but the thought thatgoes into his bowling, and his excellent fielding to his ownbowling. Among his scalps were Ryan Hinds (three) and SeanArmstrong (one), two of the more reliable batsmen in thetrials.Another lefthand-spinner Sulieman Benn, a certain selection,had four for 65 as the two slow bowlers shared 44 of the 63overs.Kurt Wilkinson, with 69 not out in three hours, lookedpolished and mature on a slow pitch at his home ground; butthe lapses which sometimes creep into his batting, led to amix-up and run out of Anderson Sealy after they had pulledthe innings from 73 for seven to 140.
