Perez strokes 137 as G/Town punish West Demerara

appeared to be a certain century for him.

He, however, fell LBW to Looknaught, handing the off-spinner his second wicket of the day for an enterprising 86. His innings included six sixes and seven fours and he fell with the score on 213 after adding 155 with Perez who soon after reached his century with a nudge into the leg side.

Sehyodan then struck twice in quick succession to remove Nkosi Barker (6) and Dexter Solomon (1) to leave the score on 230 – 5 with Georgetown in danger of surrendering first innings honours after a solid platform after Paul Wintz also fell to Looknaught.

All the while, Perez continued to use his feet, spanking the spinners beyond the fence before he too fell to Seyhodan for a majestic 137 which lasted nearly five hours and included 10 fours and six sixes.

He fell with the score on 276 – 7 with Demerara still 57 run away from West Demerara’s first innings total.

They went to tea in a much better position on 311 – 7 with lower order batsmen Steven Sankar and Ramaal Lewis striking a few blows in the process.

The duo continued to muscle the ball after the break and added 114 in 15.1 overs as Lewis marked his fifty to push Georgetown past West Demerara’s first innings total before Sankar fell for a brisk 48 with the score 10 shy of the four hundred Ramaal Lewis watches one sail out the ground during his half-century (Royston Alkins Photo)

mark.

They were eventually dismissed for 396 earning a lead of 63 runs with Lewis ending unbeaten on 68.

Travis Persaud took 3 – 12 while Looknaught (3-69) and Seyhodan (3-104) were also among the wickets. Game-1 Fruta Conquerors-5 vs Pele-1
