SECRETARY of the Guyana Cricket Board Anand Sanasie told Guyana Jaguars team that winning must become a habit and that is what makes champions become legends.
He emphasised that even though Guyana Jaguars have won the Regional 4-Day title, they must not take the final match lightly. It is an opportunity to continue their dominance and finish the tournament on a very high note.
“Professional athletes and successful teams understand that winning must become a habit and this is what makes champions become legends,” the GCB secretary said yesterday to the players and staff. He further stated, “Let your final match act as a catalyst for the next tournament as upon your return and a short time off, you would begin preparation for the next season.”
Sanasie met the players and management at the Ogle International Airport and had a chat with them just before they departed for Dominica to play the Windward Islands in the final round of the WICB PCL Regional 4-Day tournament which begins on Friday.
After nine rounds, Guyana sit victoriously at the top of the points table with 130 points, 22 points ahead of Barbados Pride who are in second position.
Windward Islands Volcanoes are on 106, Jamaica Franchise on 68, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on 60 and Leeward Islands Hurricanes on 37.
Since a team can only score a possible maximum of 20 points in a game, Guyana Jaguars have basically won the Regional 4-Day 2015 going into the final round of matches.
The Guyana Jaguars team reads: Rajendra Chandrika, Assad Fudadin, Leon Johnson (captain), Narsingh Deonarine, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Vishaul Singh (vice-captain), Raymon Reifer, Christopher Barnwell, Anthony Bramble, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, Keon Joseph, and Ronsford Beaton. The coach is Esaun Crandon and the assistant coach/manager is Rayon Griffith.
