Barbados Cricket Association article.
Bridgetown, Barbados - Skipper Joshua Bishop showed he was a cut above the rest with an outstanding all-round performance, which spurred his side to a crushing 128-run win over Shian Brathwaite's team in the third Barbados Under-17 trial match at Queen's Park.
The Alexandra student hit the only half-century of the match - a boundary studded 58 - and then recorded the best bowling figures as well - three for 21 off six overs.
In an exercise which resulted in both teams batting the full allotment of overs, Joshua Bishop's X1 made 278 for 11 off 50 overs after they lost the toss.
Joshua Bishop faced only 38 balls, lashing six fours and four sixes at No. 7.
Jamali Lynch of Lodge took three for 41 off six overs, while Naje Bishop picked up two for seven off four overs and his Princess Margaret schoolmate Tyreke Small, two for 35 off six overs.
As though the Bishops were not to be kept out of the match, Naje Bishop topscored with 35 off 73 balls including five boundaries as Brathwaite's side responded with 150 for 12.
Alexandra's Jayden Edmund helped himself to an unbeaten 31 off 47 deliveries with two sixes and one four.
Apart from Joshua Bishop's three scalps, all-rounder Nyeem Young of St. Michael took two for 24.
