Rain affects all GCB Berbice zone national 3-day cricket matches
Heavy rain in Berbice on Saturday caused the washout of all play in the first round of the 2009 Berbice Zone of the National GCB First Division Cricket Competition with all three of them ending in draws.
At the Edinburgh Ground, Edinburgh were to resume at their overnight 160 for 5, still needing a further 77 runs to avoid an innings defeat against Bermine who scored 406 for 9 declared. Edinburgh 169 and 160 for 5. Over at the Rose Hall Ground in Canje, Young Warriors were left high and dry, needing to start their 2nd innings and needing to score just 110 for an outright win over Rose Hall Community Centre. Scores – Rose Hall Community Centre 191 and 259; Young Warriors 341 for 7 declared.
Meanwhile, over at Blairmont, even though Saturday was rained out there was still play on Sunday, the last day for that match which saw Police managing to take first innings points from Blairmont Community Centre in that match which also ended in a draw.
Blairmont Community Centre resuming at their over week first innings of 103 without loss, in response to Police’s 221, lost both openers Romesh Budhram, who resumed at 70 not out and Berbice opening batsman Karamdat Bissoondial 29 not out, very early and were bowled out for 160. Budhram went on to make 87 and Bissoondial 36. Bowling for Police, offspinner Rocky Hutson took 3 for 31.
Police batted again and were bundled out for 120 in their 2nd innings with Albert Sinclair 37, Jerry Heyliger 32 and Kenroy Henry 23. Bowling for Blairmont Community Centre legspinner Leslie Amsterdam II took 3 for 15, offspinner Romesh Budhram 3 for 22 and offspinner Karamdat Bissoondial 3 for 29.
Blairmont Community Centre were therefore set 182 to win but in just 20 overs and at the end of the day’s play had reached 102 for 2 with Budhram 70 (his second half century of the match) and Nedesh Basdeo 24 not out.
The points standing in Zone A after the first round of matches:
Young Warriors 6 Points
Bermine 6 Points
Police 6 Points
Edinburgh 3 Points
Rose Hall Community Centre 3 Points
Blairmont Community Centre 3 Points
The second round of the competition begins on Saturday with matches in both Zone A (West Berbice/New Amsterdam/East Bank/Canje) and Zone B (Corentyne).
