Carib t20 GCA cricket…DCC, GNIC register victories

Action in the Georgetown Cricket Association’s (GCA) Carib Beer sponsored t20 division one cricket tournament continued yesterday with two matches at the Malteenoes ground.
Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Chris Barnwell, Krishna Arjune and Shemroy Barrington all recorded half-centuries on a day blessed with ideal cricket conditions and a nice firm track which produced competitive cricket.
In the 09:30hrs encounter, DCC defeated Everest by five wickets despite a commanding 54-ball 69 from 17-year-old West Indies under-19 left-hander Chanderpaul as 26-year-old West Indies t20 all-rounder Barnwell responded with a belligerent 66 from just 36 balls.
In the 13:00hrs match at the same venue, 33-year-old former Guyana Opener Arjune fashioned a well crafted 66 from 47 balls to spearhead GNIC to a thrilling eight-run win against home team Malteenoes after 25-year-old ex-national batsman Shemroy Barrington smashed a confident 42-ball 61 to lead a valiant Malteenoes run chase.
The young Chanderpaul, son of prolific Test batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul clobbered six fours and three sixes and reached his fifty with a disdainful six off Barnwell’s medium pace as Everest reached 138-4 off their allotted 20 overs.
Chanderpaul who played four First Class games for Guyana this year and has a lot more shots in his repertoire as compared to his illustrious father at the same age, displayed an array of thumping shots in his fifty and got support from Joseph Perry (23) and National leg-spinner Amir Khan (18).
Left-arm national t20 pacer Andre Stoll, left-arm unorthodox spinner Totaram Bishun and Barnwell picked up a wicket each for DCC, who hit off the required runs with 18 balls to spare as they galloped to 139-5.
Barnwell, who played six t20 matches for the Regional side and who also participated in the last IPL in India, deposited seven sixes and two fours after reaching his half-century from 30 balls. Jamal Hinckson supported with 34 as DCC recovered from 26-3 after losing Trevon Griffith (13), Brian Sattaur (13) and Andrew Lyght (0).
Barnwell and Hinckson then orchestrated ‘Operation rebuild’ with a 92-run fourth wicket stand to set up an emphatic win for their team.
And later in the day, Arjune with two tons from 40 First-Class matches, returned to domestic cricket with a magnificent performance which began with a six and a four off former Guyana and USA player Lennox Cush, who opened the bowling for the hosts.
Arjune received good support from Marc Nicholson (33) and former West Indies ODI player Royston Crandon (36) as GNIC raced to an imposing 190-6 despite 2-27 National under-19 leg-spinner Steven Sankar.
Barrington, who played seven First-Class matches for Guyana but none since February 2011, got support from Carlos LaRose (20), Kareem Naughton (25*) and his sibling Kefa Naughton (20) as MSC reached 182-7.
With 20 required in the final over in the fading light, MSC kept their vocal supporters on their seats with a six off the second ball but eventually could only get 11 from the over bowled by Skipper and off-spinner Collis Butts.
The game featured a few players making a come-back to local cricket, as in addition to Arjune, Crandon and Cush, Chairman of the National Selectors Rayon Griffith and National Coach Esaun Crandon also participated.
The competition continues today with four matches at two venues – Police and MSC.
