Sep 11, 2016 Sports

Heavy overnight rain prevented any play on the third and final day of the third round Guyana Cricket Board Jaguars three-day league between Essequibo and East Bank Demerara yesterday at the Everest Cricket Club.
The umpires called off the day’s play after lunch handing both teams three points each from the fixture with Essequibo moving to 21.1 and East Bank to 13.1.
Batting first, Essequibo were 8-1 after three overs on the first day when the rain sent the players off the field. Kevon Boodie was the lbw to Ryan Shun for five while Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Avenash Persaud were on one each.
Meanwhile, Speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday, coach of the Essequibo unit, Michael Franco stated that while they are disappointed that the game was rained out, there are some areas to improve on looking ahead in the tournament.
He added that he would have like to see the players being encamped for some time prior to the tournament and the Essequibo Cricket Board should have made a better effort in doing so, while adding that this an ongoing trend there.
Franco pointed out that while they are satisfied with their victory in their previous game, for players to perform consistently they must spend enough time together which will help to build team spirit.
The Coach stated that the presence of Shivnarine Chanderpaul is a plus for the team since it helps to bring the best out of the players.
