Sep 20, 2009 Sports
The Leslie Amsterdam Memorial Under-17 Cricket Competition continued recently with Berbice Under-15 cricketer Jamal Henry slamming 166 for Edinburgh. His knock which included 16 fours and 4 sixes and which is the highest individual score in the competition so far, dominated his team’s first innings score of 214-4 declared against Mt Sinai.
When Mt Sinai replied, Edinburgh off-spinner Sham Persaud took 5-25 and then 5-18 to engineer their dismissals for 52 and 65 respectively as his team won by an innings and 97 runs.
Off-spinner Malvern Williams of Defenders took 9-21 from 15.4 overs to almost single-handedly bowl out Tucber Park B for 65 in their first innings.
After his team eked out a meager 22 run first innings lead, he came back in the second innings to take 3-17 from 16 overs (match bowling figures of 12 wickets for 38 runs) which together with 5-4 from left arm spinner Rodwell Mc Andrew saw Tucber Park B being bowled out for 43 in their second innings to lose by 9 wickets.
Pacer Orlando Tanner of Young Warriors took 7-5 runs from 5.1 overs to help dismiss Young Hustlers for 23 in their second innings as his team won by an inning and 88 runs. Medium pacer Shardat Harripaul took 7-15 from 7 overs.
