Oct 30, 2012 Sports

 

Two close and exciting matches are expected on Wednesday when the semi finals of the 9th annual Busta Champion of Champions cricket tournament are played.
Featuring the top eight cricket teams in the Ancient County of Berbice, the tournament which started on Wednesday last at four venues saw RHT Gizmos and Gadgets (RHTGG), Albion, Young Warriors and Bermine advancing to the semi-finals.
At the Albion Ground, the home team would be facing a confident Young Warriors who have regrouped in the 2012 season and have in fact defeated Albion on their way to claiming the Annirud Ramcharitar 50 over First Division title.
Albion, with revenge on their mind, would be spearheaded in their batting by former test opener, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Kandasammy Surujnarine, the hard hitting Jonathan Foo, Verapen Permaul, Sharaz Ramcharran and Andy Mohan while their all-spin bowling attack would be led by Chattergoon, Surujnarine, Devindra Bishoo, Permaul, Ramcharran, leg spinner Avinash Wajid and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai.
An inform Gajanand Singh is expected to be the mainstay of the Young Warriors batting line-up along with Richard Ramdeen, Ishwar Singh, Shimron Hetmyer, Seon Hetmyer, Balram Samaroo and Wahied Edwards.
Medium pacers, Suresh Dhanai and Vishal Mohabir will spearhead their bowling attack with support from off spinner Kevin Ramdeen, Samaroo, Gajanand Singh and left armer, Richard Ramdeen. With their bowling attack considered weak, Young Warriors would need to put post a solid and defendable score.
Defending champions RHTGG will host a youthful and determined Bermine at the Area ‘H’ Ground. The last time the two faced off this year (1st division tourney) RHTGG defeated Bermine by 7 wickets despite Bermine scoring 217 for 8.
Bermine’s batting would centre around the experienced Anthony D’Andrade, Joemal LaFleur, Devon Clements, Eugene LaFleur, Keon DeJesus and Steve Latcha. Their bowling would be led by national Under-19 pacer Romario Shepherd, Clements, the LaFleur brothers, Julian Moore and Latcha.
West Indies ODI player, Royston Crandon, Delbert Hicks, Renwick Batson, Rajiv Ivan, Eon Hooper, Jason Sinclair, Dominic Rikhi and Clinton Pestano leads a strong RHTGG batting line-up on home turf.
Medium pacers Pestano and Batson would use the new ball while spinners Shailendra Shameer, Skipper Shawn Perriera, Loyden Lewis, Crandon, Ivan, Rikhi and Hooper will do much of the bowling on a spin friendly pitch. Both matches bowl off at 09:30hrs.
