Dillon's career-best wakes up Pakistan

BRIDGETOWN, MAY 16. Pakistan's cricketers, particularly their batsmen, got a horrifying wake-up call just three days prior to the second Test of their current series against West Indies later this week here.

Fast bowler Mervyn Dillon, overlooked for West Indies' summer visit to England, captured a career-best six wickets for 40 runs from 15 overs to help a West Indies A team inflict a demoralising 65-run defeat on Pakistan at Kensington Oval on Monday.

Brief scores: West Indies 160 and 362 bt Pakistan 346 and 145 (M. Wasim 47, I. Nazir 39, Dillon 6 for 40).
