Rasheed and Gonsalves shine for Everest against TSC
THANKS to some miserly spin bowling from Javed Rasheed who took a 10 wicket haul and Troy Gonsalves’ even ton, Everest Cricket Club completed a commanding 10 wickets victory over Transport Sports Club when action in the Georgetown Cricket Association organized Carib Beer/ Friends of Cricket/ Heroes Cup sponsored first division competition continued last weekend.
