GCB Inter-County Super50
By Michelangelo Jacobus
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Inter-County Super50 competition got off to an exciting start yesterday with defending champion Demerara thrashing the GCB Select XI by 105 runs, led by an unbeaten century from opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul at the iconic GCC ground in Bourda, Georgetown.
Meanwhile, as inter-county cricket returned to Cinderella County, Essequibo, for the first time in a decade, the home team sprung a surprise, beating Berbice by four-wickets as the Adams, Ricardo, and skipper Antony led the charge.
At Bourda, Demerara skipper Tevin Imlach called the toss correctly and decided to bat on a dry-looking pitch, which proved to be full of bounce all game long.
The GCB XI found success in the very first over as pacer Demetri Cameron had Raymond Perez dismissed, caught by Jeremiah Scott for a first-ball duck off the fourth delivery of the over, leaving Demerara at 1/1.
