“I am impressed with the fitness level of the players, they showed that they are willing to work hard for success”, added Johnson. The manager also stated that the pitch at Everest was unpredictable on the first day but improved on the following day. “I am not blaming the club authorities, it was due to the short notice and I must thanked the club for the use of their facilities”, stated Johnson.
The teams will meet again today for another match which will be of 50 overs duration before they depart Guyana on Tuesday. Guyana will take on the Leeward Islands in their first limited over game on the 7th at the Antigua Recreation ground.
