Peters the hero as West Indies win U19 Test by 75 runs CricInfo - 9 August 2001
West Indies left-arm seamer Kenroy Peters was the tourists' hero as he picked up five wickets in the second innings to help his side to 75-run victory in the First Under-19 Test at Leicester. Peters finished the game with match figures of 11 for 88 as West Indies managed to wrap up victory despite the showers. England had been set a target of 301 in 87 overs - the result of West Indies' declaration at 265 for nine. James Anderson had taken two wickets as the West Indies lost four for 11 runs in a hectic morning session and ended with five for 45 off 20 overs. When England batted, Kadeer Ali and Matt Prior produced innings of authority but the rest of the batting rather subsided with the only others reaching double figures being Gordon Muchall (37) and Nicky Peng (22). Prior (51) was caught behind driving loosely at Peters after he and Gordon Muchall had shared a sixth-wicket stand of 81 in 20 overs. That came after Birmingham-born Kadeer Ali had hit 15 fours in his 67 off 104 balls. His straight driving was a delight until he too fell to Peters. England were eventually dismissed for 225 with 6.5 overs left. For the Second Test at Trent Bridge, starting next Wednesday, wicket-keeper Prior, Peng and left-arm seamer Justin Bishop will return to their counties - Sussex, Durham and Essex respectively. They will be replaced by Gloucestershire wicket-keeper Stephen Pope, Yorkshire's John Sadler and Lancashire's Kyle Hogg, the grandson of Sonny Ramadhin. Northamptonshire's Robert Ferley makes up the 12.
