PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Gudakesh Motie struck contrasting hundreds to punish leaders Barbados Pride on today’s second day of the Regional First Class Championship.Unbeaten overnight on 64, the left-handed Chanderpaul finished on 140 not out as the Guyana Harpy Eagles piled up a massive 490 for seven declared in their first innings at Queen’s Park Oval.Motie, more known for his clever left-arm spin, then arrived at number nine to increase Pride’s misery, lashing a cavalier 110 from 118 balls, in a 143-run seventh wicket partnership with Chanderpaul.In reply, Pride lost Test captain Kraigg Brathwaite (17) and Test batsman Shamarh Brooks (2) cheaply to slip to 48 for two, trailing by 442 runs heading into Friday’s day three.
