At stumps yesterday on day one at Warner Park in St. Kitts, Leeward Islands Hurricanes 23-year-old opener Mikyle Louis played a mature innings, belying his age enroute to a maiden first-class century, to hand his side control in their second-round encounter against defending champions, the Guyana Harpy Eagles.
Louis, in just his second first-class outing, made the Harpy Eagles bowling attack toil under brilliant sunshine for 221 deliveries, while wicketkeeper batsman Jahmar Hamilton also came up with the goods, batting his way to a polished 77 to put the Hurricanes in command on 299-6 by stumps.
Kofi James gave the Harpy Eagles an early breakthrough, falling caught off the bowling of Alimohamed for 13; his replacement, Keacy Carthy, did not have a long stay either, falling to Kevin Sinclair for the same score as James.
