Cricket Board (GCB) Four-Day Senior Inter-County cricket competition yesterday called off the second and final day of the second and final cricket Trial at DCC ground due to anticipated inclement weather.
After the first three-day trial at Wales was condemned to a ‘match simulation’ session due to unavailability of 10 players, some of whom were in Trinidad playing semi-professional cricket, and called off after the opening day, a second match was fixed for DCC on Tuesday and yesterday.
The Malteenoes pair of Shemroy Barrington, who scored an undefeated 103 before he was called in by the selectors and leg-spinner Steven Sankar, who captured 4-47 out of the seven wickets for the 212 runs made by Vishaul Singh’s X1 on day one, were the standouts. Opener Robin Bacchus was the only other batsman to past 25 with a responsible 54 in an opening stand of 162 with Barrington.
