McCoy’s 6-17 sets up West Indies T20 win over India Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

BASSETERRE, Saint Kitts (AP) — West Indies levelled their Twenty20 series with India after Obed McCoy bagged a record six for 17 in the second match on Monday.

McCoy, a left-arm seamer, produced the best West Indies bowling figures in a T20 to help bowl out India for 138 in 19.4 overs.

West Indies made hard work of the chase in the end at 141 for five in the last over, three days after losing the first match by 68 runs.

The five-match series is at 1-1 with the third game on Tuesday staying in Basseterre.

The change in venue from Trinidad to Saint Kitts invigorated the West Indies, but also caused a three-hour delayed start because of the late arrival in the country of the teams’ kit and gear.

Brandon King, in for Shamarh Brooks, crushed the first ball of the chase to the deep point boundary off Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

King’s partner, Kyle Mayers, went for eight in an opening stand of 46, and captain Nicholas Pooran for 14, but after 10 overs West Indies was 73 for two and cruising.

King kept going until the 16th over when he was bowled by Avesh Khan, India’s extra seamer for the match. King scored a career-best 68 from 52 balls.

When he left at 107 for four, West Indies needed 32 more runs from 27 balls. What should have been a comfortable win turned into a nervy end with 10 needed off the last over.

The finish came quickly when Devon Thomas, West Indies’ other change from the first T20, hit a six and four to give them a five-wicket win. Thomas was 31 not out from 19 balls.

India captain Rohit Sharma defended giving main striker bowler Kumar only two overs, both in the powerplay.

“We know Bhuvneshwar, what he brings to the table, but if you don’t give opportunity to Avesh or Arshdeep (Singh) you will never find out what it means to bowl at the death for India,” Sharma said. “They have done it in the IPL. (This is) just one game, those guys don’t need to panic. They need backing and opportunity.”

After West Indies chose to bowl, McCoy’s bounce took out Sharma with the first ball. He also bagged Suryakumar Yadav with the first ball of his second over.

Shreyas Iyer slashed at Alzarri Joseph and edged behind, and Rishabh Pant was caught on the boundary after 24 from 12 balls. India was 61 for four in the seventh over but began to crawl.

Joseph, who conceded 17 runs in his first over, rebounded to finish with one for 29.

India went almost six overs without hitting a boundary, and McCoy returned to mop up.

In the 19th over, he got Dinesh Karthik to mistime, Ravichandran Ashwin to hole out in the deep, and Kumar to edge behind. India was 129 for nine and McCoy’s six for 17 including a maiden over was West Indies’ best figures, and the seventh best all-time in T20s.

“Great feeling to do it against a top side like India,” McCoy said. “Went in with a clear mind. Was overthinking in the previous game.”

Jason Holder yorkered Khan for two 23 and end India’s innings with two balls to spare.

Jimmy Jean-F?lix ne renie rien

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

On a toutes les peines du monde ? s’arracher ? l’?coute ?nivrante de ce CD, ? son charme ensorcelant, comme ? l’attraction orbitale, ? la gravit? d’une plan?te magique et musicale dont on est prisonnier. on a des scrupules qui en retardent le compte rendu. Mais, ? la fin, on se r?signe ? se jeter ? l’eau.

Il existe des musiciens qui, au fa?te de leur ambition, au bout de leur ascension et de l’?chelle, refoulent honteusement leur pass?, leur parcours et les jalons pos?s, avant d’atteindre leur objectif final. Pas Jimmy Jean-F?lix : il ne renie rien de son trajet d’artiste. Ce guitariste, avant d’aboutir ? des comp?tences de jazzman moderne et d’arrangeur, a jou? de la musique populaire ha?tienne de danse urbaine et n?o-folklorique, du rock et du funk, du jazz-rock. Il a ?cout? de la musique antillaise cr?ole, de la musique africaine. Il nous propose une synth?se de toutes ces influences dans son CD <> r?cemment sorti.

Allure g?n?rale

L’auditeur et m?lomane jouit en fait de treize compositions sur 15 pistes, dont huit (8) chansons et cinq (5) compositions instrumentales orient?es vers le jazz, le funk et le rock, combin?s souvent ? des formes et rythmes ha?tiens, latins et cr?oles, voire africains. La plupart des morceaux sont compos?s par Jimmy Jean-F?lix qui les arrange ?galement, ? l’exception de <> ( piste 9) dont le co-compositeur est Beethova et <> arrang? dans une autre version que celle de Frantz Cass?us. Jimmy Jean-F?lix recourt ? d’excellents paroliers comme Jean Winer Pascal, A. Patrick Augustin, Romel. A. Marseille, Beethova Obas, Alan Baptiste. Il a ?crit lui-m?me les <> de trois chansons dont l’une en coop?ration avec Romel A. Marseille.

Le compositeur-arrangeur nous expose ses multi-talents de guitariste, clavi?riste, bassiste et chanteur ( vedette ou choriste ) . Des chanteurs et chanteuses en voix <> ou <> lui pr?tent leur concours sur ce CD. Que seraient les chansons sans l’agr?able m?l?e des choeurs f?minins ou mixtes ! De belles voix et des voix aff?t?es pour animer les morceaux et convers?s avec le chanteur ou la chanteuse principal.

La diversit? des genres, formes et rythmes est manifeste, pr?gnante : funk, rock, jazz-rock, blues, jazz moderne et funky, R’N’B, s’alliant aux moules et rythmes de la musique folklorique ha?tienne, latine, cr?ole et antillaise ou africaine. Vari?t? qui r?jouit l’oreille.

Une pr?dominance de m?lodies en mineur, parfois <> et <>, cadrant bien avec les propos des chansons d?non?ant la corruption, la d?linquance et la d?gradation sociopolitique, l’actualit? de notre pays. Quatre compositions en majeur ou m?langeant les modes.

Des commentaires improvis?s ou en solos, ou pr?par?s et arrang?s pour d?velopper les id?es musicales des m?lodies et de leurs harmonies.

Des harmonies assez modernes et tendues sans ?tre d’avant-garde. Elles sont magnifiques et tr?s abordables pour les oreilles moyennes et communes.

De bons arrangements, int?ressants, avec des <> souvent touffus et foisonnants o? s’entendent des suites d’accords de soutien – intermittents et ponctu?s aux bons endroits – plaqu?s et alternant parfois avec un arp?ge ( clavier et piano en particulier). Bons accompagnements en g?n?ral. Pr?sence de choeurs en arri?re-plan, tr?s anim?s. Reprises et riffs passagers. Ostinatos de la basse parfois.

Une instrumentation riche, v?ritable d?bauche, s’exprimant en des formules et combinaisons vari?es, selon les morceaux : guitare ( Jimmy Jean-F?lix, Dener C??de #12 ); basse ( Jimmy Jean-F?lix); batterie ; keyboard; piano; orgue; Fender Rhodes; percussions et congas ; saxes t?nor, soprano, alto ; trombone ; trompette ; flugelhorn ou bugle, fl?te ; voix solistes accompagn?es de choeurs ou non; un rappeur. Une pl?thore d’instrumentistes et de participants, se relayant en fonction des pistes.

– Appr?ciations –

<> est un album vertigineux.Tr?s riche en verit?. Il faut de la patience pour d?couvrir les d?tails de chaque morceau et en faire la synth?se. C’est difficile et ?puisant, et il faut faire des choix. Les petits canevas et r?sum?s de pr?sentation sont loin d’?tre complets. Nous nous en excusons, nous avons fait de notre mieux et nous ne sommes pas musicologue. C’est regrettable.

L’arrangeur-compositeur- auteur- interpr?te y a mis tout le paquet et toute sa science. Il a gagn? son pari. Bravo Jimmy Jean-F?lix!

C’est un album ? se procurer absolument.
