AT age 32, Joshua Wade is enjoying the best phase of his career and, on Saturday at Bourda, the GCC all-rounder waded into the GNIC attack in the NBS second division 40-over cricket tournament.

Playing on his home turf, Wade scored an attractive 118 from 72 balls — nine fours and 11 sixes. It was his third second-division century and second in three innings following his 182 against Everest at Bourda in his maiden First Division hundred in GCA’s Pepsi 50-over competition.

Wade was supported by 28 from Ryan Hemraj who was removed by Jermaine Gravesande after they had posted a half-century for the opening stand.
Zakery Jodha joined the destructive Wade who reached his century with a flurry of boundaries while Jodha played the supporting role as GCC reached 202-1.
Earlier, Jermaine Benjamin hit a well-compiled 84 before he was removed by Wade, now bowling off-spin, as GNIC reached 200-6.
GCC struck an early blow when the in-form Quincy Richardson (8) was bowled by Josh Charles after hitting for a boundary to leave the score on 13-1 in the third over, while Revaldo Philips rocked back the stumps of Warien Greene (2) at 22-2.

Benjamin and Grovesnor joined forces to see the 50 come up in the 12th over before Grovesnor was dismissed for 48
Stephon Campbell weighted with 24 before he was removed by Stephon Wilson at 55-3.

Benjamin found a useful ally in Leon Seecharran (10) and together they added 87 for the fourth wicket before Wade removed Seecharran
Benjamin kept going and took the score to 99 before he was dismissed in the final over as Extras contributed 45 runs.

In the other match in the NBS tournament on Saturday, MYO got a walk-over from Third Class which has now conceded three walk-overs.
