Opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul stroked an unbeaten 113 for Demerara yesterday, steering them to a first innings score of 253 for 3 against the President’s XI in the final round of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Under-19 3-day tournament at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground, Bourda.
The left-hander carved 13 boundaries in his classy knock and batted for over a little over five hours sharing a 135-run opening partnership with fellow opener Brian Sattaur who batted for an uncharacteristic 100 minutes, hammering nine boundaries in an established 165-ball 67. All-rounder Sherfane Rutherford, who scored a brisk 44 from 83-balls, lent support to the two openers.
At stumps, Chanderpaul and Deonarine Seegobin (4*) were unbeaten heading into the second day. Right-arm off-spinner
