After spinners Anthony Adams (4/15) and Junior Sinclair (4/26) condemned Kevlon Anderson and his men to 97 all-out in just about two sessions on Tuesday, openers Raymond Perez and Matthew Nandu stroked brilliant half-centuries yesterday to put Kemol Savory’s XI firmly in charge with a 214-run first innings lead.
By stumps on day two of the second Guyana Harpy Eagles trial match at the Meten-Meer-Zorg Community Ground, Savory’s XI were 311/9 from 82 overs thanks to Perez’s and Nandu’s marathon 173-run opening stand.
Batting in bright conditions, Perez narrowly missed out on a century after batting the entire morning session and almost an hour after lunch. He was out caught to Veerasammy Permaul for a typically aggressive 93 which included eight fours and four sixes in an innings that spanned well over three hours.
