The 22-year-old Narayan batted intelligently in his unbeaten 76 on a very heavy Malteenoes ground to help the host to 152-2 replying to 154 all out made by Police yesterday. Jaigobin top scored with 53 while Rawle Browne supported with 32 as the cops were bowled out in 38 overs on a track with plenty of assistance for the spinners.
Berbice-born left-arm spinner Damien Vantull, who could make his Demerara Inter County debut tomorrow at Police, continued his fine work with the ball this year by taking 3-42 and got support from Demerara all-rounder Kelon Carmichael who celebrated his debut for his new club with 2-18 and National player Deon Ferrier who took 2-7.
When MSC began their reply Narayan and teenage Keeper Sarfraz Esau (19) added 80 before leg-spinner Jaigobin bowled Esau.
National player Steven Jacobs (28) brought up the 100 with a straight six off spinner Parnell London before hitting a short ball high to mid-off at 120 as spinner Dwayne Singh struck in his first over in first division cricket. Ferrier (18) offered solid support to Narayan to see MSC to within 3 runs of first innings points when play ended.
Chris Patandin
In the other game which was played in the city, GCC, led by a fine 61 from Singh, 49 from Waslim Haslim and 20 from Ricardo Jadunauth reached 182-4 replying to Everest’s 181 all out.
Troy Gonsalves took 2 wickets with his leg-spin for Everest who were led to their total by an attractive 64 from former Guyana under-19 opener Chris Patandin, 46 from Gonsalves and 21 from Demerara Wicketkeeper Joseph Perry.
