GT&T, Hand-in-Hand Inter-County tourney – Rd 2…Demerara battle B’ce, President’s XI take on E’bo
Demerara will battle archrivals Berbice at the Enmore Community Centre ground and the President’s XI will face Essequibo at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, Bourda when the Guyana Cricket Board organised Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Hand-in-Hand Insurance senior four-day Inter-County tournament continues with second round play.
The Demerara players are a confident unit having dispatched Essequibo by an innings in the first round, but will be in for a tougher fight against the Berbicians.
Zaheer Mohamed
Zaheer Mohamed, Chris Barnwell and Chris Patadin will look to continue their fine form. The combination of spinners which includes Mohamed and Amir Khan proved very effective against Essequibo and it will be interesting to see if they can continue in the same vein against the much stronger Berbice batting line up which includes Sewnarine Chattergoon, Assad Fudadin and Royston Crandon.
Ramnaresh Sarwan and Leon Johnson middled the ball well in the first game and will no doubt want to score heavily. The talented Devendra Bishoo will lead Berbice bowling with support from Crandon, Fudadin and pacer Raun Johnson.
Trevon Garraway and Paul Wintz are once again expected to share the new ball for the home team, but will have to bend their backs a lot more if they are to gain assistance from the Enmore pitch which is expected to be on the slow side.
Vishal Singh who registered a century in the first round is once again expected to lead the President’s XI batting while Robin Bacchus, Ryan Ramdass, Seon Hetymer and Dominic Ricky should lend valuable support.
Skipper Anthony Adams bowled well in the first match, but will need more assistance from Dillon Heyliger,
Assad Fudadin
Hemchand Persaud and Mark Tyrell. Royan Federicks looked solid against Demerara and another fine performance can land him a place in the national team.
Kemo Paul, Heyliger, Kevon Boodie and Ricardo Peters will also have to bat for long periods if the Essequibians are to post challenging totals.
