Amidst hard work and dedication and with the urge to get some cricket under their belt before the end of their one week tour to Guyana, the touring American Cricket Society (ACS) Cricket team of New York USA the tourist were able to get some much needed action out in the middle under their belt on Tuesday. They took on Chesney Cricket Club in a reduced 25 overs cricket match which the lost to the host by 16 runs.
The touring ACS which is led by former national U19 Karan Ganesh won the toss and inserted the host who used the big hitting method on the soft outfield and the still damp pitch to reach 126-9 in their allotment of overs. Their charge was lead by Ron Ramcharran with 35(4×4, 1×6) and former Guyana 20/20 player the big hitting Imran Khan with 33(3×4, 1×6) with R Samaroo and N. Deonarine contributing 11 each.
Bowling for the ACS, Karan Ganesh with 3 and Telston Johnson 2 were the chief wicket takers. ACS in their reply started badly and lost some early wickets as their batsmen failed to negotiate damp pitch. They however rallied through a fine effort by former Berbice player Rajbance Hemraj who led the way with 40(3×4, 1×6). Ralph Ogle earlier made 17 and Hassan Amin 11as they were dismissed for 110 in 24.1 overs.
Bowling for Chesney, overseas based Baldeo Dass, bowling medium pace, made full use of the conditions to snare the first four wickets to end with 4-9, while Imran Khan crowned a fine all round performance by taking 3 wickets to be adjudged man-of-the-match.
The Chesney team was presented with a plaque by the touring ACS team. They also presented thousands of dollars worth in cricket gear to the Chesney Sports Club and plan to erect two sight screens on the play field.
