Rain prevented any play on the final day of the practice match between the Guyana team and the Rest IX yesterday at the Everest Cricket Club ground.
The national team was set to resume their first innings on 192-5 with Christopher Barnwell on 45 and Derwin Christian on 21. The Rest XI had earlier made 144 all out batting first.
Meanwhile, the players who were not in the Twenty\20 team but were selected in the 50 over and 4 day squad did their fitness test when play was called off after tea. Manager Alvin Johnson told Kaieteur Sport that the players are disappointed with the loss of play for the entire day. He said the players are fit and raring to go.
“I am impressed with the fitness level of the players, they showed that they are willing to work hard for success”, added Johnson. The manager also stated that the pitch at Everest was unpredictable on the first day but improved on the following day. “I am not blaming the club authorities, it was due to the short notice and I must thanked the club for the use of their facilities”, stated Johnson.
The teams will meet again today for another match which will be of 50 overs duration before they depart Guyana on Tuesday. Guyana will take on the Leeward Islands in their first limited over game on the 7th at the Antigua Recreation ground.
