Guyana crash to 51 all out against Windwards

Jul 17, 2010 Sports

Tournament leaders Guyana were sensationally bowled out for 51 in their first innings by Windward Islands on the opening day of Round 3 matches in the TCL West Indies Under-19 three-day cricket series in St Lucia yesterday.
After being sent in at Gros Islet, the Guyanese, who beat the Leewards and lost first innings points in a 2nd round draw against defending champions Jamaica, lasted just 24 overs as the innings folded shortly after lunch.
Windward Islands, who last won the title in 2001, were 179-5 after rain halted proceedings on the opening day at 15:35hrs.
The Islanders, who last beat Guyana at this level in St Vincent in 2005, start the 2nd day today with a lead of 128 runs and 5 wickets in hand. Left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Andre Stoll top-scored with 29 but Sherwin McPherson (12) was the only other Guyanese to reach double figures.
Left-arm spinner Kaveem Hodge was the chief wrecker with three wickets for no run. Bronte Bess (2-4), Kurt Edward (2-14) and Levaughn Lewis (2-22) offered support for the Windwards.
Grenadian Denis Smith, the cousin of Test opener Devon Smith was unbeaten on 72, his first fifty at this level. Atticus Browne was dismissed for 41 after sharing in a half-century opening partnership with Smith to give the Windwards a solid foundation.
The right-handed Smith failed to join team mate Kaveem Hodge who scored 122 against Barbados as Windwards batsmen with three-figure score to his name in this competition when he fell for 93.
Hodge’s hundred made him the first Windwards batsman to score a ton since Donwell Hector’s century against Barbados at Warner Park in St Kitts in 2007.
Leg-spinner Amir Khan, who took 11 wickets in the first round but only two in the next, increased his wicket tally to 17 as he finished with 4-65 yesterday.Rudolph Paul was unbeaten on 21 when play ended early.
