AFTER weeks of training and verbal exchanges between the Media XI and the Georgetown Cricket Scorers and Umpires Association (GSCUA), it all boils down to action on the field tomorrow, when the two sides meet in a specially arranged T20 fixture at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground, Bourda.
Both skippers, Calvin Roberts of the Media XI and GCU&SA’s Arleigh Rutherford, yesterday afternoon, boasted of their respective team’s readiness for the highly anticipated encounter, which will bowl off at 10:00hrs.

Roberts said his players are fully focused on the task ahead following intense training under the expertise of former First-Class batsman and England ODI player, Monte Lynch, who, according to Roberts, was able to work on several areas with the players mainly batting and fielding drills.

According to the confident looking Roberts, the Media lads will be coming full throttle at the umpires and scorers, promising nothing less than a victory tomorrow, especially since several players within his team have been targeted by the opposition.

Rutherford echoed similar sentiments, adding that his players have been hard at training over the past two weeks, fine-tuning several aspects of their game. He highlighted, amongst others, that his team is a blend of solid batsmen, capable fast bowlers and quality spinners.

Admission to the venue is free and members of the public are invited to witness the game, which have received tangible support from Lifetime Realty, Trophy Stall, P&P Insurance Brokers, Western Union, Christopher Matthias, Regal Stationery and Computer Supplies.

In addition to the above, the Media XI wishes to express heartfelt thanks to the management of Georgetown Cricket Club for their tangible support in making the match a reality.
