Sep 28, 2015 Sports

A classy 92 not out with 6×4’s from fast emerging batsman David Latchaya, a responsible 82 with 3×4’s from national wicketkeeper batsman Anthony Bramble and a six wicket haul from West Indies left arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul helped Albion Community Center to defeat Upper Corentyne by a massive 140 runs and at the same time book a place in the last six of the Bobby Deonarine and Tom Gruntzel sponsored Tenelec Inc round robin fifty overs first division cricket competition.

Anthony Bramble

Veerasammy Permaul

In a match that was played under sweltering heat at the Port Mourant ground and not at the Albion ground because of the Kumar Sanu show, Albion won the toss and took first strike.
They had a steady start of 40 by openers, national under-19 all rounder Balchand Baldeo and former Guyana youth opener Kandasammy Surujnarine before the latter went caught behind off skipper Lakeram Latchman for 25. National under-17 opener Adrian Sukhwa joined Baldeo but did not last long going lbw to Davanand Chatterpaul for 4.
Bramble came to the crease just before Baldeo went for 47 stumped off Naeem Yacoob. Prolific former Berbice under-19 batsman David Latchaya, who many felt was unfairly not selected in the national under-19 team last year, joined forces with Anthony Bramble and put on a huge partnership that took the wind out of the Upper Corentyne team before Bramble was bowled by Omesh Kumar for 82. Controversially dropped West Indies left arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul who is fast developing into a genuine all rounder came in and raced to an unbeaten 31. Latchaya was still there on 92 as Albion ended on 291 for 4 off their allotted 50 overs.
In reply, UCCA had a good start of 35 between Parmeshwar Chatterpaul and Naeem Yacoob. The other partnership of significance was between Balram Samoroo and Lakeram Latchman which yielded 40 runs. West Indies lost is Albion gain as Permaul came on to bowl and ripped through the rest of the batting line up, ending with 6 for 14 off 8.3 overs to help bowl out UCCA for 151, losing by 140 runs. Totaram Persaud topscored with 29 N O and Balram Samaroo supported with 25.
This means that Albion have already secured a place in the last six teams of the competition. They have joined Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets in their zone and the two teams will clash shortly to determine the zone winner.
