Barbados defeated Guyana by 3 wickets in their 3rd round TCL Group Regional Under-19 One-Day cricket match at Chedwin Park in Rural Jamaica yesterday leaving the South Americans with 2 losses from 3 games and little chance of winning their first limited overs title at this level with 2 more games to play.
Anthony Adams
Seon Hetmyer (28) and Keon Joseph (24*) were the only Guyanese to reach 20 as their team were bowled out for 141 in 44.1 overs.
Marques Clarke took 3-29 for Barbados who made 145-7 off 47.3 overs in reply despite 4-15 from 10 overs from left-arm spinner Antony Adams in a game marred by several poor Umpiring decisions against both teams.
Electing to bat in overcast conditions, Guyana lost Trevon Griffith (1) in the first over when he gloved a pull at Jason Holder for the Keeper to hold the low leg-side offering with just 2 runs on the board. Alex Amsterdam and Jeetendra Sookdeo took the score to 11 on another slow track and parched and rough outfield before Sookdeo (5) again played with little purpose and was caught behind trying to steer Clarke to 3rd man.
Jonathon Foo hit 2 fours in his 13 before he flicked a leg-side catch off Clarke to Mario Rampersaud to give the Bajan Keeper the 3rd of his five catches in the innings and leave Guyana on 33-3 in the 10th over.
Seon Hetmyer
Amsterdam (15) pushed forward to left-arm spinner Jomal Warrican and was caught behind at 45-4 while Vice-Captain Royston Alkins who took 14 balls to get off the mark, seemed very unfortunate to be given LBW to Warrican for 13 at 72-5 in the 25th over.
Skipper Anthony Bramble (7) tried to play a ball which turned away from him through the on-side off the back foot and only succeeded in edging a catch to the Keeper as Guyana catapulted to 88-6 even as the sun returned in all of its glory.
Hetmyer again looked solid and used his feet well to the spinners before another very poor Umpiring decision sent him LBW to Cummins for 28 from 54 balls at 105-7 in the 36th over as the Guyana struggles in this year’s competition continued.
Andre Stoll and Adams were quickly removed for ducks as Guyana slipped to 114-9 before fast bowlers Keon Joseph (24*) and Seon Daniels (10) added 27 for the last wicket before Daniels swept Chase to deep backward square to end the innings.
Keon Joseph
Chase finished with 3-21 while Warrican (2-24), Clarke (2-29) and Cummins (2-33) supported for Barbados who reached 5-0 off 4 overs by lunch.
After the interval, Kraigg Braithwaite, a member of the West Indies Test squad last month, and the left-handed Anthony Alleyne carried Barbados to 12 in scorching sun before Alleyne (4) and Raymond Reifer (0) fell in the space of a run.
Alleyne was brilliantly caught at point on the 2nd attempt by Alkins off Joseph while Reifer edged Daniels to the Keeper.
Adams removed Kyle Mayers (12) as Barbados, who struggled against controlled bowling, slipped to 38-3 in 16 overs.
Braithwaite, who could not get the ball off the square and was dropped by Griffith off Daniels on 9 at 14-2, edged a cut off Adams to the Keeper at 43-4 in the 22nd over.
The right-handed Braithwaite laboured for 82 minutes and 66 balls for his 21 and he was soon followed into the pavilion by Shane Dowrich (3) who swept the nagging Adams to deep backward square at 65-5.
Chase, who hit 4 fours in 28 from 58 balls, was then stumped off the final ball of Adam’s spell to leave the score on 73-6 in the 32nd over and Holder (29) fell to Griffith at 111-7,
Man-of-the-Match Cummins (34 not out from 44 balls with 4 fours) and Rampersaud saw their team home with 2.3 overs remaining.
Sookdeo’s part time spin was used ahead of Stoll who surprisingly only bowled one over and with 15 needed from 3 overs, 13 were taken from Sookdeo’s over as Barbados rushed to victory.
Guyana played an unchanged team from the one which beat the Windwards on Saturday and after a break today take on hosts Jamaica tomorrow at Melbourne in their next game. While Barbados face the Leewards tomorrow at Jamalco.
Manager Alvin Johnson informed that the players will not practice today but will use the free day to rest. He also said Herrell Greene will visit the doctor today for a groin injury while Alkins spent the latter part of the Barbados innings off the field. Amsterdam, who again had an economical spell (10-2-17-0), was also off the field suffering from a slight back strain.
