Hercules takes MOM award in latest match in England

Jul 08, 2010 Sports

Former Guyana youth player Ryan Hercules continued his good showing in the English leagues for Shadwell CC with a Man-of-the-Match performance in his latest 20/20 match in the United Kingdom.
The Essequibo fast bowling all-rounder top scored with 45 after getting off the mark with 3 consecutive fours. He added 86 with Joe Edison (41) for the 3rd wicket after joining forces with their team on 2-1.
After Hercules was caught on the cover boundary in the 16th over the last 7 wickets tumbled for 7 runs as his team was all out for 96 on a good hard pitch to bat on. Bardsey CC were off to a poor start when they began their reply as Hercules struck with the first ball of the innings and again in his next over to finish with 2-13 from 4 overs. However, an unbeaten 51 from Pakistani Basit Butts led Bardsey to victory.
“The game was wonderful with lots of people and owners of big clubs. What a time to get a Man-of-the-Match award. It was very exciting,” Hercules told Kaieteur Sport.
“In our league we are fighting at 3rd on the points table at the half-way stage of the season. I got 6-26 against Wetherby CC then 4-14 against Little Ribston. I also have scores of 82,78,70,45 and so far have 608 runs and 49 wickets.
My knee is feeling fit and I am bowling well and playing good all round cricket and looking forward for the second half of the season,” said Hercules who has fully recovered from a knee surgery last year.
Hercules dedicated his Man-of-the-Match performance to his mother who celebrated her birthday last Saturday and whom he said is the person mainly responsible for his development as a person.
