D’Andrade returns to local cricket with classy 75
Twenty-three year-old former Guyana Under-19 batsman Anthony D’Andrade stroked a classy 75 for Bermine on Saturday on his return to local cricket as action in the Berbice zone of the National Neal & Massey 40-overs 1st division cricket competition commenced with 4 matches.
Anthony D'Andrade
D’Andrade, who enjoyed a productive season with the bat for the University of Trinidad and Tobago where he was studying this year, added 162 for the 2nd wicket with former Guyana Under-19 Skipper Eugene La Fleur (77) to stake a claim for a last minute inclusion in the Berbice Trials squad for the upcoming Inter-Country competition.
“I have been batting well in Trinidad and came home to try and make the Berbice team. I was a bit disappointed that I was not picked in the Trials squad but I know that once I continue to make runs there is still hope,” the elegant right-hander said after his fifty.
Bermine, Port Mourant, Young Warriors and West Berbice registered first round wins on Saturday with Bermine’s Devon Clements and Devendra Thakurdeen and First-Class player Hoomchand Pooran of Port Mourant also scoring half-centuries.
Edinburgh’s off-spinner Ralph Chakalall, Young Warriors medium pacer Davindra Ramotar, West Berbice’s off-spinner Krishnadat Ramoo, Port Mourant medium pacer Yudendra Harrinarine and Bermine’s teenage left-arm spinner Troy Mickle all grabbed 4-wicket hauls.
