Shane shines again

Shane Dowrich has made a return to form.

Having scored just nine runs in the first two Tests against England, the little wicketkeeper/batsman rediscovered some of his touch with a century on the first day of a two-day match for West Indies against Leicestershire yesterday.

With the tourists struggling on 64 for five, Dowrich, who finished unbeaten on 108, teamed up with opener Kieran Powell and Shimron Hetmyer to orchestrate a revival.

Powell, who was also short of runs in the Tests, made 82, while Hetmyer, batting at No. 9, was undefeated on 128 as West Indies declared on 377 for eight. (BN)
