GCA T20 Div. One Cricket…TSC, UG share points after Seepage onto pitch halts match at MSC
Rain, which caused seepage under the covers and affected the Southern end of the Malteenoes pitch halted yesterday’s Georgetown Cricket Association’s (GCA) T20 division one match between Transport Sports Club (TSC) and University of Guyana (UG), robbing TSC of a possible victory.
Damion Vantull drives through the extra cover during his top-score for UG yesterday.
On a track with some bounce, TSC asked UG to bat and they were in early trouble when they lost both openers in the space of a run to leave them on 5-2. Darrel Douglas (1) skied Francnot Duncan for the keeper to take the catch before Ray Newton was bowled by off-spinner Kevin Ross, who opened the bowling with Duncan.
Duncan removed Omesh Dhanram (5) at 15-3 before Melroy Stephenson (9) missed a cut at Ross and was bowled when he was just beginning to look comfortable in sultry conditions before Duncan, who bowled with some pace, struck again as the students slumped to 29-5.
The left-handed Damion Vantull counter attacked with successive sixes over long-off and galloped to 20 before he was adjudged controversially bowled by Sudesh Boodoo even though the ball rebounded onto the wicket from the keeper’s pad. Rain ended the contest with UG on 48-7 from 19.2 overs.
Duncan (3-14), Boodoo (2-0) and Ross (2-0) were the most successful bowlers for the Thomas Lands side, who had to the share the points with UG.
