2012 BCB/Tenelec Inc. Competition : Rikhi (87), Bishoo (70, 4 for 35) and Permaul (77) headline round two performances : … Joseph snares five victims

THIS year’s Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Tenelec Inc first division 50 overs round robin cricket competition continued recently with some outstanding performances across the Ancient County. Bermine were very hopeful after registering 217 for 8 against Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets but their aspirations died when two former Under-19 batsmen Dominique Rikhi with 87 (9×4) and Renwick Batson with 78 (7×4, 3×6) posted 149 runs for the first wicket that took their team to a seven-wicket victory.
Albion Community Centre amassed 281 for 8 in 46 overs, against Young Warriors, the highest score in the competition so far, with recent West Indies selectee Veerasammy Permaul leading the way with 77 (4×4), discarded West Indies leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo 70 (9×4, 1×6) and former Guyana Under-19 opening batsman Kandasammy Surujnarine 58 (5×4).
Bishoo then came back with the ball and took 4 for 35 from 10 overs while Permaul had figures of 1 for 27 from 9 overs to restrict Young Warriors to 151 for 9 in reply.
However the best bowling figures of the round came from former West Indies Under-19 and Guyana fast bowler Keon Joseph who, playing for West Berbice, took 5 for 29 from 8 overs to bowl out Edinburgh for a paltry 98.
This was in reply to West Berbice’s 175, a total in which Sherwin McPherson, a former Guyana Under-19 batsman, contributed 51 (3×4, 1×6).
Another former West Indies Under-19 cricketer, Zamal Khan back home after spending some years in Canada slammed 81 which included 13 fours in 244 from Port Mourant Karibee Rice  against Police, who could only reply with 192 with former Guyana Under-19 captain and off-spinner Harrinarine Chattergoon picking up 4 for 25 from 9 overs.
Deveshwari Prashad slammed an unbeaten 74 (8×4, 1×6) his second consecutive half-century to help Blairmont Community Centre reach 200 against Skeldon Community Centre, whose former Berbice Under-19 pacer Junior Blair took 4 for 37 from 8 overs, while Skeldon could reply with only 139.
