ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) — Test discard Denesh Ramdin continued to press his case for a recall to the regional side, stroking his third half-century of the season here yesterday to move to the brink of 700 runs.

The Trinidad and Tobago Red Force skipper struck 75, but it was not enough to prevent his side from being forced to follow on, as they were dismissed for 172 in their first innings on the penultimate day of their ninth round contest in the Regional Four-Day Championship against Windward Islands Volcanoes.

Behind by 194 runs, the visitors ended the day on 93 for two in their second innings, still requiring a further 101 runs to avoid an innings defeat.

They were being carried by left-handed opener Amir Jangoo who was unbeaten on 58.

Resuming the day at the National Stadium on 51 for four in reply to Volcanoes’ 366, Red Force were immediately in trouble when they lost Tion Webster without adding to his overnight three, bowled by seamer Kyle Mayers in the third over of the morning.
