A useful all-round performance from left-arm spinner Raj Nanan put GCC in a strong position to beat GDF outright at Bourda on the opening day of the final game of the Hadi’s GCA first division two-day competition. GCC must win today to overtake leaders DCC and lift the trophy.
Nanan snatched 4-37 to help dismiss the Soldiers for 89 after the entire first session was washed out. Only Nail Smith (33 not out) and Randy Lindore (24) who posted 46 for the seventh wicket put up a fight as five ducks were registered in the GDF innings.
West Indies ‘A’ team pacer Ronsford Beaton (2-21) removed both openers to leave the score on 17-2 before pacer Joshua Wade (2-17) got rid of Jomal Lafleur (8) and Marcus Watkins (0) who scored a second division century last weekend, as the Army slipped to 35-4.
Nanan captured two wickets in his first over as GDF slumped to 38-6 and although Lindore and Smith offered some resistance Nanan and Anthony Adams (2-14) wrapped up the GDF innings which included four Berbicians.
GCC began shakily when Robin Bacchus (8) was bowled by Smith and Adams (9) fell to Romaine Shepherd. National Skipper Vishal Singh (19) and Jeetendra Sookdeo (24) took the score to 60 before Singh departed off Lindore. LaFleur dismissed Renaldo Mohamed (0), Sookdeo and Devon Lord (0) as GCC slipped from 60-2 to 70-6 but after Wade (14) was run out at 106-7, Nanan who reached his highest division one score, aided by five fours and six guided GCC to 131-7 with a first innings lead of 41 runs. Lafleur has so far picked up 3-21. (Sean Devers)
