GCA\Noble house Seafoods 2nd division 2 day final…GCC in Control

Apr 14, 2013 Sports

 

 

Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) are in control against Police in the final of the Georgetown Cricket Association\ Noble House Sea Foods second division 2 day competition which commenced yesterday at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground Bourda.
GCC won the toss and elected to bat scored 321 in 88.4 overs before they were bowled out at the close on the first day. The host lost three early wickets before Almando Doman and Martin Pestano-Belle, GCC’s most consistent batsmen throughout the tournament, featured in a fourth wicket stand of 80 after GCC were reduced to 15-3.
The pair came together after Manny Forde, Fadil Umrow and Ray Barker fell cheaply. Barker threw his bat angrily after he was given out run out, idling out of his crease. The penalty for a player bringing the match into disrepute was set at five runs at the pre-match briefing, however by close of play a decision was not yet made on the incident.
Pestano-Belle retired hurt on 43 due to cramps, and Doman was caught by Kevin Leitch at point for 43 in 66 balls. Devon Lord fell soon after for 11 before Bernard Bailey and Treon Forde joined forces in another useful partnership which again stabilized GCC’s innings. The two took their team to lunch at 162/5; Forde was dropped on 8 by Police captain Fitzroy Culley.
In sight of a century Forde missed a Randolph Knights delivery with the second new ball and was lbw for 86 from 130 balls, with eleven fours.
The pair put together 95 for the sixth wicket. Bailey hit a couple brittle boundaries over mid on and mid off against the gentle medium of Troy Benn before losing his middle stump to the same bowler; he made 64 from 94 balls in 117 minutes with seven fours.
Pestano-Belle resumed his innings, and with Samuel McKenzie once again helped GCC strengthened their position. McKenzie was eventually lbw to Pernell London soon after Bell edged Kevin Leitch to slip for 64.
Bell scored 64 in 126 balls with nine boundaries, while McKenzie scored 15 and he departed with the score 309 for 9. Cleyon Critchlow and Kevin Plants rallied the score to 321 before Critchlow was dismissed by Vishal Jaigobin. Randolph Knight finished with 2 for 24 for Police to be the pick of the bowlers, while Leitch had 2 for 79.
