Narayan, a former Guyana Under-19 player, smashed 27 fours and 5 sixes in his unbeaten double century while Krosse, who has failed to fulfill his batting promise since he led Guyana at the Under-15 level 2 years ago, batted responsibility and hit 7 fours as he stroked the ball along the ground on the small outfield in his maiden ton.

The pair joined forces ay 105-2 when Delvon McEwan, who hit 14 fours and 2 sixes in his attractive 81, was LBW to Deo Sarran.

After Floyd Rollins (13) was removed by Carlos Reid at 85-1 and opener McEwen departed shortly afterwards, Narayan and the more subdued Krosse put together the highest third wicket partnership by any Malteenoes pair at any level as they notched up a record 3rd wicket partnership in Georgetown cricket before MSC declared at 423-2.

Legay, who toured England with the Guyana Under-15 team a few seasons ago, mesmerized the batsmen to finish with 7-44 from 12 overs. Adrian Smith supported with 2-45 as GYO were bowled out for 178 with Jonathon Alphonso top scoring with 30.
