Transport Sports Club (TSC) were in a comfortable position to take first innings points from University of Guyana (UG) when the first day’s play of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/Noble House Sea Foods two-day second division
Sunil Singh
final concluded yesterday.
In reply to TSC score of 285, UG were 168-8 after facing 42 overs at Malteenoes Sports Club with Siddique Mohamed unbeaten on 34 (2×4) and Lloyd George on 10. Pacer Davaughn Nandan rocked the top order with the wickets of Leon Williams (06), Mahendra Persaud (00) and Omesh Danram (05), while Mark Baptiste removed Melroy Stephenson (00) as UG slipped to 17-4. Michael Shallim and Darnel Douglas added 67 for the fifth wicket to steady their innings before experienced Kevin Ross removed them both. Shallim timed the ball well and hit four fours and a similar number of sixes in his 51, while Douglas made 23 with one four. Teenage off-spinner Joel Spooner then picked up Devon George (13) and Keron Suknarine (18) before Mohamed and Lloyd George saw their team to the close.
Nandan has so far taken three scalps while Spooner and Ross have two each.
Earlier, Charwayne McPherson and Ryan Hemraj gave TSC a solid start with an opening stand of 53 after they were inserted on a decent pitch. Hemraj hammered seven fours before he was removed by Lloyd George for 36 who also accounted for McPherson for 33 (3×4). But left-hander Sunil Singh anchored the innings with a well played 86. Singh looked almost untroubled as he smashed fourteen fours and shared in a fourth wicket stand of 111 with Nandan who stroked four fours in scoring 55. Azeem Azeez hit 49 down the order to prop up the total as leg spinner Omesh Danram grabbed 4-74, Mohamed 2-44 and George 2-46.
