Layne grabs three wickets in spirited West Indies practice outing

LINCOLN, New Zealand (CMC) — Fast bowler Johann Layne bowled impressively to snare three wickets as the West Indies’ two-day warm-up match against a New Zealand XI petered out into a tame, predictable draw at Bert Sutcliffe Oval on Thursday.

After declaring on their overnight total of 346 for five, the West Indies returned to bowl out their opponents for 264 in 73.4 overs on the last day.

Kemar Roach and Anderson Phillip made early inroads by dismissing Scott Janett and Jesse Frew, respectively, to leave the home side in trouble at four for two.

Layne then got in on the action by having Sam Cassidy caught for 28 as New Zealand XI slipped to 45 for three.

However, a 126-run partnership between Cam Paul, who topscored with 91, and Muhammad Abbas, who made 61, carried them to relative safety.

Layne broke the partnership when he had Abbas caught behind, and four balls later he sent Marco Alpe packing in the same fashion for a duck as New Zealand XI slipped to 171 for five.

Spinners Kavem Hodge and Jomel Warrican then polished off the tail by snaring two wickets apiece.

Layne finished with 3-33 from his nine overs while Hodge took 2-32 and Warrican 2-45.

Roach and Phillip, along with spinner Roston Chase, each took one wicket.
