South E’bo suffer mixed fortunes on Wakenaam visit

Apr 14, 2012 Sports

The South Essequibo Cricket Committee development programme continued last Sunday when their junior cricket team visited the Island of Wakenaam and engaged the Sans Souci Jaguars Sports Club in two games at the Wakenaam Community Centre ground last weekend.
The visitors won the first game by one wicket after Sans Souci Jaguars won the toss and batted on a track with preparation moisture and only managed 113 before they were bowled out in 24 of their allotted 40 overs. Skipper Nokta Moses was their leading run scorer with 51(6×4,2×6) as left arm spinner Herry Green ended with the impressive figures of 5-25 and Wazim Karoon supported with 2-26.
South Essequibo then encountered some nervous moments in their reply before they eventually won the match in 27.2 overs; ending on 114-9. Opener Julio Jones led the way with 41 (2×6,3×4) while Moin Khan and Moses grabbed 4 wickets each for the host.
Meanwhile, the home team got the better of the visitors by 69 runs in a 15-over affair which followed. The Jaguars piled up 156-4 in their allotted overs after taking first turn at the crease. Kemo Paul blasted two fours and four sixes in a top-score of 52, while Olwin Paton supported with 45 (5×6). South in reply made 87-7 when their 15 overs expired. Andy Dass and Mark Tyrell scored 37 and 25 respectively as Imran Khan and Moses claimed 2 wickets apiece for the winners.
On Saturday, at the Zorg ground on the Essequibo Coast, a One-Day two innings game between Ricardo Peters’ X1 and Mark Gonsalves’ X1 ended in a draw.
Scores: Peters’ X1 113-6 in 30 overs (Rahul Rooplall 35, Hemnauth Deochan 25*, Gonsalves 2-23, Raj Parbattie 2-26) and 138 all out in 48 overs (Kowshaldeo Beharry 32, Javed Azeez 4-23).
Gonsalves’ X1 68 all out in 25 overs (K.Behary 3-13, R.Rooplall 3-10) and 127-5 in 41 overs (R.Parbattie 37*, Javed Azeez 30, K.Beharry 3-27).
Coach Forbes Daniels conducted coaching clinics for young cricketers on Friday and Sunday at the Zorg Ground. They were taught about the basics of batting, bowling, fielding and wicketkeeping.
He told Kaieteur Sport that he was impressed with what he saw and stressed that there is a need for more playing facilities in the area if these talented players are to be properly developed. Meanwhile, a number of the players stated that they have to travel long distances on the Essequibo Island to train because of the lack of suitable facilities in Wakenaam. (Zaheer Mohamed)
