Five batsmen scored two centuries each of 19 all told after the round robin matches in the BCA Elite/Division 1 Super Cup Championship.

The five are Leniko Boucher, Rashawn Worrell (Carlton), Jai-Bari Yarde (Empire), Matthew Forde (Sagicor Life UWI ‘A’) and Shayne Moseley (Wanderers).

Boucher slammed 178 not out against IGS Insurance Brokers Yorkshire at Friendship in the first round and an unbeaten 138 v IDL Walkers Sand Quarry Isolation Cavaliers at Desmond Haynes Oval (Series 3).

In three matches, he amassed 316 runs and was dismissed only once before taking up a contract in Canada.

Worrell made 156 off Yorkshire and 101 against Nicholls Baking Combermere at Desmond Haynes Oval (Series 7).

Against Yorkshire, Boucher and Worrell featured in a record opening partnership of 361 off 48.2 overs as Carlton piled up 380 for two off 50 overs before winning by 183 runs.

With Carlton failing to advance to the quarter-finals, which are scheduled for Sunday (matches are:

Empire v Police at Bank Hall; UWI ‘A’ v Wildey at 3Ws Oval; Wanderers v Fusionz Boutique Spartan at Dayrells Road; BWU Gladiola v Yorkshire at Rices) left-hander Worrell ended with 387 runs (Ave: 48.37).

Yarde’s centuries are 101 not out v Sagicor Life UWI ‘B’ at Bank Hall (Series 1) and 105 v ESA Field Pickwick at Bank Hall (Series 7). He has an aggregate of 329 (Ave: 54.83).

Forde scored 102 v Carlton at 3Ws Oval (Series 2) and 134 v Lords at the same venue (Series 7) in an aggregate of 348 (Ave: 87.00).

Moseley’s hundreds are 156 not out v Yorkshire at Friendship (Series 4) and 132 not out v SigniaGlobe Financial Barbados Youth ‘B’ at the Harrison College ground, Crumpton Street (Series 7). His aggregate is 373 (Ave: 124.33).

The other century-makers are: Raymond Kellman (Bayview Hospital YMPC) 135 not out v St. Catherine at Beckles Road (Series 2); Giovonte Depeiza (Gladiola) 108 v Pickwick at Foursquare Oval (Series 2); Roshon Primus (Wanderers) 106 v Police at Dayrells Road (Series 2); Demario Richards (UWI ‘A’) 101 v Yorkshire at 3Ws Oval (Series 3); Akeem Nero (Yorkshire) 102 v Lords at Friendship (Series 5); Jonathan Carter (UWI ‘A’) 150 v Lords at 3Ws Oval (Series 7); Jonathan Drakes (Wanderers) 140 v Barbados Youth ‘B’ at Crumpton Street (Series 7); Indal Persaud (Yorkshire) 114 v Maple at Friendship (Series 7); and Akeem Springer (Spartan) 117 not out v Wildey at SJPIT (Series 9).

Left-arm spinner Nathan Sealy, who represented both Foundation and Barbados Youth ‘B’ and captained both teams, is still the top bowler.

In five matches, Sealy grabbed the most wickets (22) from 46.3 overs, with the best economy (2.23) and best average (4.72).

His figures are: (For Foundation) 10-0-29-3 v Spartan at Church Hill; 9-2-13-3 v Barbados Youth ‘A’ at Crumpton Street; (For Barbados Youth ‘B’) 9-1-23-6 v Police at Weymouth; 9.3-4-7-7 (including a hat-trick) v Carlton at Desmond Haynes Oval; and 9-0-32-3 v UWI ‘A’ at Waterford.

Sealy’s switch from Foundation to Barbados Youth ‘B’ was due to a decision to have the national Under-17 team, of which he was also the captain, play as a unit in preparation for the regional Tournament in Trinidad in July.

Second on the list of wicket-takers is another Foundation schoolboy, 14-year-old off-spinner Akobi Crichlow-Byer, with 18 (Econ: 6.07; Ave: 18.22) in six matches.

Crichlow-Byer played for the champion Barbados team in the recent Cricket West Indies Under-15 Tournament in Grenada.

Three bowlers – Sealy, Crichlow-Byer and pacer Rasheed Padmore of Police – have two five-fors.

Crichlow-Byer took up five for 37 against Barbados Youth ‘A’ at Crumpton Street ‘A’ (Series 2) and five for 56 against St. Catherine at Church Hill (Series 5), while Padmore picked up five for 39 v Barbados Youth ‘B’ at Weymouth (Series 3) and six for 33 v Carlton at Desmond Haynes Oval (Series 9).
