Windwards vs Guyana

[mikesiva]

Hmmm.... Maybe Permaul should replace Bishoo on the WI team. He's gotten better figures so far in this 4 day competition, younger and can also contribute with the bat.

Permaul and Holder are now in the top five of our batsmen as well....

How many wickets will Guyana lose in erasing the deficit?

You realise that Bishoo is only 26 years old!!

And what of the claims of Ryan Austin or Sunil Narine, or Shane Shillingford?

Both shillinford and austin is older, we should be looking at someone young so he can develop with the west indies team. Narine on the other hand will go the way of Gayle, Bravo and Pollard and be freelancers for WI having their IPL stints and other T20 stints around the world.

GUYvWIN:Deonarine 50 from 67 balls 92 mins. 6X4 and 1X6. Guyana 95-2, trail by 19. Deonarine 52. Fudadin 19

Deo is emerging as one of the more consistent batsmen in the early rounds....

He's certainly forcing the selectors to take note of his performances, especially in relation to the current pretenders.

Guyana 124-2. Fudadin 27 and Deonarine 72.

Guyana remove the first innings deficit and piling on runs for Windwards to chase

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Deonarine c Shillingford b Mathurin 84. Guyana 160-3

Deo missed a chance of getting to three figures. Pity!

Still, the way the other batsmen have been collapsing, Deo is beginning to look like Headley among midgets!

GUYvWIN:WICKET! FUDADIN LBW MATHURIN 51-Guyana 160-4

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Chattergoon c wp James b Sebastien DUCK. Guyana 160-5

Looks like Windwards winning this tomorrow....

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Sebastien strikes Christian LBW 21. GUY: 281-8

[mikesiva]

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Permaul LBW Mathurin 5. Guyana 291-9 lead 177

Should Guyana declare now? Given the poor batting in this tournament so far, this could be a total the Guyanese bowlers could easily defend!

GUYvWIN:WICKET: Beaton c & b Sebastien 2. Guyana ALL OUT 294. LEAD 180

GUYvWIN: GUY: ALL OUT 294. Mathurin 18-2-64-3; Sebastien; 14-0-55-4. FOUR OVERS LEFT FOR THE DAY. TARGET 181

The wicket of Devon Smith is crucial. If he gets going, the Windwards will win. If he goes cheaply, then Guyana could win.
