Tons for Ajib, Bhoj & Heeralall; Baldeo takes 6; Khan grabs hat-tick
Jaipaul Heeralall
This year’s edition of the New Building Society (NBS) second division 40-over cricket competition organised by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) for teams in the Ancient County continued with some outstanding performances.
Opening batsman Kader Ajib slammed 122 (12×4 4×6) the highest score in the competition so far to help his team, No. 72 Cut and Load to 248 for 8 in 30 overs in a rain affected match against No. 72 All Star. The latter team nevertheless gave good chase and with their opening batsman Mahendra Bhoj scoring 102 (9×4 8×6) and Parmeshwar Chatterpaul 50; the two putting on 139 for the 3rd wicket but when both of them departed, no other batsman stepped up and All Star could only reach 209 for 8 in their 30 overs.
Jaipaul Heeralall made 100* (5×4 9×6) and Devendra Lalsa 50 (6×4 1×6) for D’Edward Warriors.
Off spinner Balchan Baldeo took 6 for 21 from 8 overs including a hat-trick to help Albion Community Centre bowl out No. 1 Road for 104. He then opened Albion’s innings scoring 22* teaming up with fellow opener Kandasammy Surujnarine (63) to see their side to a 10-wicket victory in just 8.4 overs.
Left arm pacer Kassim Khan also had a hat-trick in his 6 for 13 from 6 overs for Young Warriors in their 5 wicket win over West Canje.
