GCA 2nd Division 2-Day
Action in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/Friends of Cricket 2nd Division 2-Day competition resumed yesterday at the Transport Sports Ground, Thomas Lands, with home team Transport hosting GNIC.
After stumps on day one, the game was hanging in the balance with GNIC batting first and compiling a competitive first innings total of 219 while Transport in reply had reached 123/2 at the end of the opening day, still some 96 runs adrift of GNIC’s total, but importantly with 8 wickets in hand.
Earlier in the day, Transport won the toss and sent in GNIC to bat. Stephen Campbell stood up for the visitors with a valuable contribution of 59 to help his side to a decent total in the end. Other helpful contributions with the bat came from Lemuel Ross and Ronole Bourne, who notched up 39 and 49, respectively, the latter narrowly missing out on a half-century.
Leg-spinner Reyaz Latif was potent and led the way with the ball for the hosts, grabbing 4/38. He received support from Rafael Singh, who snared 3-54 while Myhiem Khan returned 2-45.
In response, Jaden Campbell and Emmanuel Lewis set a healthy foundation for Transport, with scores of 36 and 34 at the top of the order. While both Campbell and Lewis were dismissed by Lemuel Ross, Myhiem Khan (25 not out) and Jeremiah Hohenhirk (1 not out) guided their side to the close of play without further loss of wickets.
The match will resume today with the game hanging in the balance with the potential to go either way for both sides.
