GCB Jaguars 3-day League…Final day of E/Coast, GT match washed out at Bourda

Sep 11, 2016 Sports

The final day of the third round of GCB Jaguars three-day cricket League between East Coast and Georgetown at Bourda was abandoned due to overnight rain yesterday.
Although there was no rain for the entire day, the sunshine was only hazy but coincidently just as the day’s play was called off at 14:00hrs the sun came out in all its glory but the damage had already been done and the outfield was deemed too soggy to play on.
East Cost who started the round in second position behind Lower Corentyne, were overtaken by West Demerara who beat West Berbice in two days in Canje, while Georgetown remained in the penultimate position.
Georgetown began the day on 63-3, 85 runs behind East Coast’s 148 after only two sessions of play was possible in the contest and were desperate to score quick runs yesterday and to try and for a win. Off-spinner Gajanand Suknanan captured 7-37 for the hosts to be the outstanding performer in the truncated match.
Both teams collected three points for the draw, while GT collected three bowling points for dismissing East Coast inside 110 overs in the first innings plus .2 of a point for fast bowler’s wickets (pacer Chris Barnwell & Renaldo Ali-Mohamed took a wicket each). GT gained 6.2 points from the game to move to 16.3 points.
East Coast only got one bowling point to give them four points from the match and 35 points in the eight-team tournament.
The fourth round is set to commence on Friday and East Coast play L/C’tyne at Everest, West Berbice face East Coast at Enmore, West Demerara battle U/C’tyne at Wales and GT oppose E’bo at GCC. (Sean Devers)
