Barrington hits ton but GYO fight back on day one
Guyana Defence Force opener Shemroy Barrington fashioned a fine century against GYO as play in the Carib Beer and Friends of Cricket, Heroes Cup\Georgetown Cricket Association first division two day competition continued on Saturday with one match at the Malteenoes Sports Club.
Batting first, GDF suffered an early set back when opener Isaiah Brijader was bowled by Garfield De Roche (06) with the score on 11 before Barrington and Dillon Heyliger took the total to 101 with sensible batting in front of a fair size crowd.
Heyliger was then removed for 22 before spinner Pravindralall Persaud trapped Marcus Watkins leg before for 10 as GYO fought back. The rest of the batting then rallied to take them to 285 before they were bowled out in 57.2 overs with Barrington who mixed aggression with defence, leading the way. He stroked fourteen fours and on six in an attractive 105 before he departed. Jerry Fraser was the next best scorer with 63 which contained three fours and a similar number of sixes. Randy Lindore chipped in with 32 as Kamesh Yadram finished with 4-62 off 11 overs while De Roche took 3-44 and Persaud 2-62.
GYO started off their reply on a positive note with John Champagne blasting five fours in an unbeaten 27, while his opening partner, Tagenarine Chanderpaul was not out on 28 (2×4) as they closed the first day on 63 without loss after facing 20 overs. The game continues today. (Zaheer Mohamed)
