Left-arm spinner Devon Lord produced a royal performance to spearhead GCC to a crushing 9-wicket win against 3rd Class at GNIC Saturday in one of the shortest cricket matches in Guyana.
Devon Lord
The fifteen year-old snatched a record 8-0 from 4.4 overs and got support from Terrence Ulstrom (2-16) as 3rd Class were bundled out for 23 in 9.4 overs in the opening round of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) 40-overs under-15 cricket competition for teams in the City.
GCC lost Fadil Omrow for 7 but reached 25-1 in 6 overs as the game was wrapped up at 10:35hrs, just 65 minutes after it commenced in hazy sunshine.
Martin Pestano-Bell was unbeaten on 6 while Nicholas De Caries was with him on 7 when victory was achieved.
Lord clean bowled five batsmen, had one stumped and another LBW as he befuddled the batsmen with the new ball after being asked to open the bowling and his sensational figures is the best by any bowler at this level in Guyana since under-15 cricket was introduced in 1996.
GCC will play their next game at Bourda when the competition continues on Tuesday. (Sean Devers)
