2025 CWI Regional 4-Day Championships…
-Permaul, Alimohamed among top 10 bowlers
Kaieteur Sports- With just a few rounds to go, the race for individual accolades heightens as a number of players, most notably those within the Guyana Harpy Eagles camp, look to make one final sprint towards statistical glory by the end of the 2025 Regional 4-Day Championship season.
Captain Tevin Imlach, number 6 on the overall run-getters list with two hundreds and a fifty including a best of 126*, remains the leading batsman for Guyana with a total of 377 runs after the end of round five.
Creeping up close behind is the former Eagles captain and middle-order batsman, Kevlon Anderson who currently sits in 12th spot with 344 runs.
The Berbician also has two centuries under his belt with a best of 116 and could easily break into the top 10 or higher by the end of the season should be maintain his current form.
Another key figure who could make a final push for some additional runs is current Vice-Captain Kemol Savory, who recently cracked into the top 20 list, sitting in 19th spot with 273 runs.
Savory, despite being one of the In-form batsmen with top scores of 99, 39, 48 and 49, the wicket-keeper should have easily been among the top batters to date and without doubt will be eyeing the ton which has been eluding him all season.
Other batsmen to eclipse the 200-run mark is opener Matthew Nandu with 244 runs with two half-centuries under his belt and all-rounder Ronaldo Alimohamed who also hit two fifties to date with a total of 209 runs.
Bowling has been exceptional to date for the champs, led by the wizard Veerasammy Permaul who sits in second place with 26 wickets, trailing number one bowler Khary Pierrie (31 wickets).
Permaul, first class cricket’s leading wicket taker has been on a late season tear as he looks to end the season on top as he and the Trinidadian will battle for the final pole.
Alimohamed has been a revelation, bowling with venom and class throughout a season and rankings dominated by spinners, with 7 out of the top 10 bowlers currently being of the slower kind.
For his 20 wickets and the 5th spot, the Eagles right-arm pacer has been by far the best pacer this year, followed closely by fellow fast man, Akeem Jordan of CCC, who has 19 scalps.
One player to keep eyes on it the left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie, who returned midway of the season but has managed to snag 15 wickets from three games.
The West Indies Test spinner has already bagged impressive figures of 6-38 and sits 11th on the table, as he and Permaul could shoot past the other slower bowlers to end the season in the top 3.
Fast-bowler Nial Smith will definitely want to finish his season with at least 15 wickets, having bagged 9 victims to date, further pressing his case as one of the top speedsters in the Caribbean.
Meanwhile, teams will be looking to regroup over the next few days as they prepare for the crunch stages of the tournament which resumes on April 2. (Clifton Ross)
