The 2012 Carib Beer first division T20 cricket competition organized by the Berbice Cricket Board started recently with the first round of matches.
Former Guyana Under-19 batsman Seon Hetmyer scored 67 (5×4 3×6) and teammate Sasenarine Sukhdeo 49 (6×4 1×6), the pair putting on 69 for the 4th wicket to steer Young Warriors to 183 for 7 in 20 overs against Police.
Former Berbice off spinner Balram Samaroo had the amazing returns of 5 for 5 runs from 3 overs which ensured that Police struggled to 90 for 9 in their 20 overs.
Delbert Hicks produced the highest score of the round, slamming 84 (8×4 3×6) for Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets against Port Mourant; together with 47 (2×4 3×6) from Renwick Batson, the two featuring in an opening stand of 136 in 15 overs guided Rose Hall Town to 188 for 5 in 20 overs. Andre Percival took 3 for 26 from 4 overs as Port Mourant could only respond with 140 for 6, Percival contributing 44 not out.
Kemo Gravesande did some hard hitting for Bush Lot United Rising Star, featuring in an opening stand of 33 in 3.4 overs with Brentnol Woolford (5) and then in an unbroken 2nd wicket partnership of 123 in 11.2 overs with the equally hard hitting Asif Khan to steer Bush Lot to 156 for 1 in 15 overs against Cotton Tree Die Hard.
Gravesande ended on 70* (9×4 3×6). Cotton Tree were then bowled out for 70 with Gravesande picking up 3 for 18 off 2 overs and Khan 2 for 12 from 2.3 overs.
Off spinner Parmanand Narine took 3 for 16 from 4 overs as Skeldon Community Centre did well to restrict Albion Community Centre to 116 for 7 in 20 overs. When Skeldon replied, Sherwin Murray batted out of character and scored a patient 48 (1×4 3×6) to help them to an upset 4-wicket win.
The match between Blairmont Community Centre and West Berbice ended prematurely after 2.5 overs into the Blairmont innings after the new ball became damaged and West Berbice could not produce another new ball or a replacement ball.
The Competition Committee of the Berbice Cricket Board will have to meet with representatives of both teams as well as the umpires to investigate the circumstances.
