Jonathan Foo
Former Guyana 20/20 batsman Jonathan Foo registered the highest score of the competition so far when he slammed 135 for Albion Community Centre against Police. His knock, which included 10 fours and 3 sixes, was backed up by another century from an unlikely source, former West Indies legspinner Devendra Bishoo, who in his new role as a number five batsman for his team, hit 106 which included 9 fours, his highest score at any level. Their efforts saw Albion to a daunting 292 for 6 in 45 Overs. When Police replied, Bishoo came back with the ball, his more accustomed role and with him and Guyana Under-19 left arm spinner Gudakesh Motie each picking up 3 for 16, they were routed for a paltry 74 in reply.
Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets were struggling at 103 for 5 at one stage in their match against Blairmont Community Centre with test batsman Assad Fudadin, Berbice cricketer Delbert Hicks, Rajiv Ivan and Renwick Batson as well as Khemraj Mahadeo all gone. However Jason Sinclair with 73 N.O., which included 6 fours, put on 53 for the 6th wicket with Eon Hooper and 25 for the 7th with Clinton Pestano to steer them to a decent 236 for 7 in 50-Overs. Blairmont could only respond with 159 all out.
