Wicketkeeper batsman Carlton Baugh slammed an unbeaten half century to lead Jamaica’s fight back on day one against host Guyana in their West Indies Cricket Board Regional 4 day tournament at the Providence National Stadium yesterday; the visitors were 204-9 after facing 71 overs when bad light stopped play with Baugh on 78 and Sheldon Cotterell on 03.
Jamaica won the toss and elected to bat but pacer Keon Joseph ruined their decision when he had Danza Hyatt taken by Veerasammy Permaul at short mid wicket for a duck at 3 in his second over.
Brenton Parchment failed to capitalise after he was put down by Assad Fudadin at third slip off Joseph, but the Berbice fast bowler got his reward for maintaining a decent line and length when he had Parchment caught by Stephen Jacobs at second slip in the fourth over with the score on four. Without addition to the score, Ronsford Beaton, who like Joseph extracted pace and bounce from a lively Providence pitch, induced Nkrumah Bonner (01) to edge one behind.
Tamar Lambert was then bowled by Joseph without scoring at 12-4 before Jermaine Blackwood and David Bernard Jnr restored sanity to the proceedings with a fifth wicket stand of 46. However Permaul who later sustained a hand injury, trapped Blackwood leg before for 37 (1×4, 54balls), while leg spinner Devendra Bishoo had Bernard Jnr stumped for 29 (2×4, 52b) as the Jamaicans slipped to 88-6.
Carlton Baugh Jr and Nikita Miller then took the score to tea at 150 for 6 with Baugh who brought up his fifty off 83 balls on 54 and Miller on 25.
The pair continued to frustrate the Guyanese after the break by adding 27 more to the total before Miller was leg before wicket to Steven Jacobs for 42 (5×4, 81b) at 177. Andrew Richardson was then trapped in front by Bishoo for 01, while Odean Brown who got off the mark with a six off Bishoo but the caught by Leon Johnson at first slip for 07 off the same bowler at 194.
Baugh who was very watchful and middled the ball well, played some handsome shots on both sides of the wicket, stroked six fours, and along with Cotterell will resume the battle today for the Jamaicans when play starts at 09:30 hrs.
For the Guyanese, Joseph finished with figures of 3-49 off 14 overs, while Bishoo has so far taken 3-51 off 16 overs; Beaton, Permaul and Steven Jacobs had one each.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
