Berbice defeated the President’s XI by an innings and 88 runs in their first round game of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) U-19 inter county 3-Day tournament yesterday at the Enmore Community Centre ground.
Needing to score 200 runs to make Berbice bat a second time, the President’s XI were sent packing for 111 in 45.1 overs in the in their second innings in the final session on the second day.
Berbice resumed on their overnight score of 97-2 with Shimron Hetmyer on 63 and Ashkay Homraj on 16 and progressed to 337-9 before they declared in the penultimate session. Hetmyer and Homraj took the score to 189 with level headed batting. The duo rotated the strike nicely and wasted little time in dispatching the bad balls. Hetmyer dumped leg spinner Ershad Alli for maximums over long on and soon reached his triple figure with a boundary through mid wicket off Ryan Shun. His century came off 100 balls and included ten fours and three sixes.
However Shun got the break through when he had Hetymer caught at short midwicket off a low full toss for 125 (12×4),3×6). Homraj executed a number of lovely shots through the offside and brought up his fifty which came off 60 balls with a four through covers. He added 31 for the fourth wicket with skipper Sharaz Ramcharran before he skied Shun to mid off; he departed for 59 (9×4). Ramcharran timed the ball beautifully and shared in sixth wicket partnership with Hackeem Hinds (21) before Hinds was trapped in front by Ronaldo Mohamed at 252. Off spinner Richie Looknauth then bowled Viendra Gooniah (11) behind his back at 266. Ramcharran displayed a wide array of shots on both side of the pitch and attained his well deserved half century off 105 balls. He featured in a seventh wicket stand of 33 with Arif Chan (07) who was caught off Daniel Lewis.
President’s XI skipper Travis Persaud took the new ball as soon as it was made available and left arm pacer Gavin Moriah sent Ramcharran off stump cart wheeling with one that came back into the right hander; he went for 60 with the score on 309.Mohamed then bowled Niall Smith (16) before Berbice declared leaving Parmanand Ramdhan on 14 and Dimitri Cameron on one. Mohamed ended with 2-27, Moriah 2-36 and Shun 2-52.
Opener Ryan Shun stroked seamer Cameron to the cover boundary to get the President’s XI innings going before he was bowled off the inside edged by Smith at 9-1. Skipper Ramcharran marshaled his troops quiet well and his decision to introduce spin paid dividends when Arif Chan trapped Vishwanauth Ramlakhan (04) LBW and had Sunil Singh (14) taken by wicket keeper Hinds as the batsman attempted to cut a ball too close to his body at 40-3.
Avishkar Sewkarran used his feet well against the spinners and put together 20 runs for the fourth wicket with Travis Persaud before he was LBW to left arm spinner Parmanand Ramdhan for 23( 5×4). Ramdhan then sent back Michael Shallim (10) LBW before Ronaldo Mohamed (02) was bowled by leg spinner Viendra Goniah leaving the score at 78-6.
Apart from Travis Persaud who scored 21 (2×4), the rest of the batting folded meekly with only Richie Looknauth (14) and Ershad Alli (14*) managing double figures. Chan was the pick of the bowlers with 3-17; Gooniah captured 3-20, Ramdhan 2-11. Hetmyer was given the man of the match award.
