Ram, Pereira, Apple among top performers following CWI Rising Stars Championships
Kaieteur Sports – Despite narrowly missing out on the CWI Rising Stars Under-15 Championship title, runners-up Guyana had an exceptional tournament, dominated by a few of their upcoming stars.
All-rounder Shamar Apple finished among the top scorers for Guyana.
Leading wicket-taker Ravaldo Pereira.
The Bajans finished with 22.0 points including 4.0 pace points, winning 4 of their 5 games with a draw. Meanwhile, the Guyanese also finished unbeaten, winning 4 games with a tie as they finished with an aggregate of 20.8 points.
Two of their 2.8 points came from the efforts of their fast-bowlers, primarily Arif Khan who finished with 7 wickets including a best of 5-18 versus the Trinidadians.
Ironically, winners and runners-up gained their 2 respective points from the No result contest after their first round encounter was plagued by bad weather.
Leading run-getter for Guyana, opener Parmeshwar Ram racked up 135 runs at an average of 45.00, from the 4 games played, with scores of; 37*, 8, 30 and 60.
Leading run-scorer Parmeshwar Ram.
Vice-captain Emmanuel Lewis tallied 129 runs to end as the second best scorer with knocks of; 31*, 16, 22 and 60. Captain Adrian Hetmyer came in third amongst scorers for Guyana, chalking up 124 runs at an average of 51.66, notching up scores of 24, 52 and 48.
Guyana vice-captain Emmanuel Lewis ended as the 2nd leading run-scorer for his team.
All-rounder Shamar Apple carried his team’s middle/lower-order throughout the stretch of the tournament, as he finished with 126 runs at a whopping average of 63.00 including scores of; 65, 43 and 18.
Apart from Khan, the show belonged to the Guyanese spinners led by the magical Ravaldo Pereira, who was by far the best Guyanese bowler.
Pereira ended with a total of 10 wickets including best returns of 5-29, as he ended 4th overall. The Guyanese could have easily ended with the most wickets in the competition, blowing past the number 1, 2 and 3 spots, occupied by bowlers who are tied or have 1 wicket more than the Guyanese.
Other honorable mentions include Richard Ramdeholl who ended with 5 wickets, batsman Khush Seegobin, glove-man Sohail Mohammed who had an exceptional series behind the stumps, landing in third spot with 3 dismissals among others who at some point helped to win games for a young Guyana squad.
