Day two of DCB trials washed out
A soggy outfield at Everest, caused by heavy overnight and morning rain resulted in the second day of the first and only three-day cricket trial match being washed out without a ball being bowled yesterday.
Chris Barnwell
Although the pitch was covered and the sun came out after lunch, efforts to get in some play in the last session proved futile as the already heavy outfield remained wet.
West Indies t20 player Chris Barnwell scored an unbeaten 105 and got support Chris Patandin who made 94 and Trevon Griffith who contributed 53 to lead Barnwell’s X1 to 358-9 against Leon Johnson’s X1. Left-arm spinner Totaram Bishun has so far captured 3-94 and Randy Knights 2-38.
Weather permitting, the final day is scheduled to commence at 09:00hrs today.
East Indian Cricket Club (EICC), which was renamed Everest in 1971, like most the coastland of Guyana, is four feet below Sea level at high tide and sandwiched between the Seawall and Carifesta Avenue. It is one of slowest drying cricket grounds in the City.
Previously located in Queenstown, EICC acquired a lease on a large piece of swampy land on Camp Road, a few hundred yards from the Atlantic Ocean. The land was quickly transformed into a proper cricket ground. The new EICC ground was opened in April 1928 and the club was admitted to the first division in 1929. (Sean Devers)
