gainst Sri Lanka A.Chasing 305 for a win, Barbados batted for 80 overs after

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When Jimmy Smith answered a call from an unfamiliar number Saturday and heard Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khans voice, he knew the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.Smith was going to be inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars, the teams name for its ring of honor.My heart started beating fast, Smith said Tuesday. I couldnt catch my breath.The induction ceremony will take place Dec. 11, when the Jaguars play host to the Minnesota Vikings. He will become the sixth person inducted into the Pride, joining Tony Boselli, Wayne and Delores Weaver, Fred Taylor and Mark Brunell.Smith, who retired from the NFL in May 2006, had hoped he wouldnt have to wait this long to get that call, but he understands why the team waited 10 years. His five arrests -- for DUI and drug and firearm possession -- and time spent in prison made it difficult for the Jaguars to invite him to join the Pride.Smith, 47, has avoided trouble since his release from prison in Mississippi in 2013 and said hes working hard to make sure he continues to do so.I thought [the Pride induction] would have happened sooner, but God has a plan for us all, Smith said. Lately it just seems like since I turned my life over to God Ive been getting these gifts from God, and this is one of them. The timing is perfect because had I not gone through some of these off-field issues I wouldnt be the person I am today.Ive definitely matured and I hope this could be an inspiration to someone else. We all have problems. Everybody has issues and has problems. Its just, how do you deal with those problems and how do you come out of it? The work is not over with me, by any means.Cocaine was one of the charges that led to Smiths prison sentence. He said Tuesday that he still battles his addiction, but hes proud of how he has handled that fight and he hopes others in a similar situation draw strength from his example.Struggling with an addiction, its every day, Smith said. Its not like youre hooked this day and its gone tomorrow. I have to live my life in recovery as a reminder of what Ive gone through and where I am today and not go back there.Its the beginning of the second chapter of my life. Its going to be a lot of hard work. Ive got a job to do and its up to me to go out there and be a role model.Smith was one of the best players in the NFL during his time with the Jaguars. He is the teams career leader in receptions (862), receiving yards (12,287) and touchdown catches (67). He had seven consecutive seasons in which he had more than 1,000 receiving yards -- including a team-record 1,636 in 1999 -- and surpassed that mark nine times during his 11-year career with the team.Smith also owns franchise records for most receiving yards in a game (291 yards against Baltimore in 2000), most receptions in a season (116 in 1999) and most 100-yard games in a season (nine in 1999). Those marks came during a stretch when Smith made five consecutive Pro Bowls from 1997 to 2001. Smith caught 112 passes for 1,373 yards and eight touchdowns in 2001 despite having three surgeries early in the year to remove scar tissue from his abdomen.Smith was able to have an impressive career despite a rocky beginning. He was drafted in the second round (36th overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 but broke his leg and missed most of his rookie season. He had an emergency appendectomy in August of 1993 and suffered through a subsequent infection that nearly killed him.The Cowboys waived Smith in July of 1994 after he wouldnt accept a pay cut. He was signed by Philadelphia days later but didnt make the roster and was out of football for the entire season. Smiths mother sent then-Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin a folder of his press clippings; Smith earned a tryout and was signed in February 1995.There is no question that Jimmy Smith was one of the best players to ever wear a Jaguars uniform, Khan said in a statement. His contributions in the early years were critical to the success the Jaguars enjoyed during that time. The fact that most of his records have stood for 10 years without being surpassed underscores what a great player he was.I wish I had personally seen Jimmy play more frequently but I am very happy that we will appropriately honor him at EverBank Field in December.Smith has a long list of off-the-field problems. He was arrested three times in Jacksonville, though only one came during his playing career. That came in 2001 when he was pulled over for speeding and suspicion of drunken driving. Traces of cocaine were later found in his system and that landed him in the NFLs substance-abuse program.Smith was suspended for the first four games of the 2003 season for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy. He admitted he had a drug problem and spent several weeks in rehab. Smith retired abruptly in May 2006 -- after catching 70 passes for 1,023 yards in 2005 -- and denied rumors that he was facing a yearlong suspension. Things went downhill for Smith quickly after that.He was arrested in Jacksonville in 2008 (DUI and possession of marijuana) and 2009 (possession of crack cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia).Smith also was arrested twice in Mississippi. He was charged with cocaine possession during a traffic stop in February 2010. He pleaded guilty in July 2012 and was placed on probation and given a 10-year suspended sentence.He was arrested in December 2012 after a rifle was found in his car during another traffic stop, a violation of his probation. Police also found marijuana in his car. Smith pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison; his probation was revoked from the prior incident and he was sentenced to an additional four years.The type of crime for which he was convicted made him eligible for an intense supervision program, allowing him to be released from prison in June 2013 and placed on house arrest in Mississippi. He was released from house arrest in June 2014 and is on parole until March 10, 2017.Smith was back at EverBank Field on Nov. 30, 2014, for the Jaguars home game against the New York Giants to take part in the teams alumni weekend. He said it was his first time at the stadium since 2008 or 2009.Im extremely grateful, extremely thankful, Smith said. Im definitely proud and emotional right now. Its been a long time coming.

Debutant Roshon Primus all-round efforts - a match haul of 7 for 68 and a key knock of 36 not out in the first innings - were instrumental in Trinidad & Tobagos nine-wicket win over Windward Islands in the opening round of the Regional 4 Day Tournament in Port of Spain. T&T needed only three days to complete the win, having gained an early advantage by bowling their opponents out for 142 in the first innings. Primus took 6 for 30 with his seam-bowling in one spell that reduced Windward from 31 for 2 to 50 for 8. It was only opener Devon Smiths unbeaten 86 and his 73-run stand with No. 10 batsman Delorn Johnson that lifted the sides total past 100. They were eventually dismissed for 142.T&T responded by scoring 242 runs for a first-innings lead of 100. Primus was one of only four batsmen in the side to score more than 30 and added valuable runs after they were struggling at 192 for 6 following the loss of top-scorer Jason Mohammed who made a 95-ball 70. Opener Kyle Hope, too, chipped in with 56 giving T&T a good start.Windward did much better in their second innings, scoring 254, but were limited by legspinner Imran Khans 5 for 84 and the fact that they had conceded a 100-run lead. Tyrone Theophile (53) and wicketkeeper Sunil Ambris (43) chipped in but, like T&Ts innings, the rally came from the lower order. Shane Shillingford took charge with a knock of 65 off 94 balls and an eighth-wicket partnership with Mervin Matthew helped Windward inch closer to 250 from 196 for 7.T&Ts chase of 155 appeared untroubled with Hope leading the way at the top of the order again. Like the first innings, he was the main contributor to the opening stand, in this instance a partnership of 61 runs, before pairing with Yannic Cariah to add 96 runs for the second wicket. Hope was unbeaten on 79 while Cariah scored 52 not out.Left-arm spinners Gudakesh Moti-Kanhai and Veerasammy Permaul took 16 wickets between them, as Guyana registered a 181-run win over Jamaica at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.Guyana captain Leon Johnson put on 98 for the second wicket with Rajendra Chandrika after electing to bat. He had come in during the fourth over, after the dismissal of Shimron Hetmeyer, and was dismissed for 19 by debutant medium-pacer Derval Green (3-72) with the score on 111. Chandrika, who had done the bulk of the scoring, was removed by Nikita Miller (4-71) shortly after, for 86. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (91) and Raymon Reifer (40) were the oonly other batsmen to get past 20.dddddddddddd Their 68-run partnership was the only other significant stand before first innings folded up for 298.Jamaicas response began with a 73-run opening stand that was broken by Keon Joseph. John Campbell, who scored 71, and was the next wicket to fall and initiated a spinners dominance that saw them take the other nine wickets for just 95 runs, to bowl Jamaica out for 208. Permaul, who had removed Campbell, finished with 5 for 60, while Moti-Kanhai took 4 for 66.Guyana consolidated on their first-innings lead, led by half-centuries from Johnson (69) and Vishaul Singh (71) that helped them post 238 for 4 in the second dig. Jamaica, chasing 329, lost two wickets before stumps on the third day.Jermaine Blackwood scored a fighting 96 on the fourth day, but found no support as Keon Joseph (3-19) joined the party with Permaul (3-63) and Moti-Kanhai (4-35), to bowl Jamaica out for 147.Barbados were 70 off the target, scoring 235 for five, as they settled for a draw against Leeward Islands in St. Kitts. The match witnessed an all-round performance from offspinner Rahkeem Cornwall, who continued his rich vein of form from the series against Sri Lanka A.Chasing 305 for a win, Barbados batted for 80 overs after Leeward Islands declared on 164 for 6, 12 overs into the fourth day. Leeward Islands added 75 runs in those 12 overs, in a spell of play that saw Cornwall scoring a 51-ball 60 - his second half-century of the match - to lift his team from their overnight score of 89 for 5 as they looked to capitalize on a 140-run first-innings lead.Cornwall then removed Omar Philips in the first over of Barbados chase, before a second-wicket partnership of 109 which took 45.5 overs. That partnership was between Anthony Alleyne (84) and Shamarh Brooks (59). West Indies international Roston Chase then put on 62 for the third wicket with Alleyne in 13.5 overs, to keep Barbados interested briefly. But two quick wickets fell, and he shut shop to remain unbeaten on 51.Earlier in the match, Leeward Islands had bowled out Barbados 237, thanks to Cornwalls ninth five-wicket haul. This came after he had scored 84, along to with Nkrumah Bonners 94, to help Leeward Islands post 377 after electing to bat.Cornwall finished with nine wickets and was declared the Player of the Match.
