Jonathan Foo hits second half-century

BCB Senior One Day Inter-County Trials…
Jonathan Foo continued his good form in the second Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) trial match played at Albion Sports Complex on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 but was unlucky to just miss out on a century.
In a match reduced to 30 overs a side due to heavy overnight rain, Narsingh Deonarine’s XI won the toss and inserted Anthony Bramble’s XI to take first strike. They lost two early wickets in Verapen Permaul for 8 and Joemal LaFleur 9.
The pugnacious Foo joined Seon Hetmyer and together they flayed the bowling to all parts of the ground. Foo missed out on his century when he went for 99 (6×6 and 4×4). Hetmyer went on to score 36. Skipper Anthony Bramble contributed 20.
Anthony Bramble’s XI ended on 200 for 5. Devon Clements took two wickets for Deonarine XI.
In reply, Deonarine’s XI were bowled out for 129 to lose by 71 runs.
Kandasammy Surujnarine top scored with 33 and Romario Shepherd made 22. Bowling for Bramble’s XI, Steven Latcha took 3 for 20 and Shawn Perriera 2 for 23.

Meanwhile, a fine half-century from Foo, a four-wicket haul from national pacer Raun Johnson and a good all-round performance by Test cricketer Deonarine were the highlights of the first Berbice Cricket Board’s Senior trial match on Tuesday.
Three trial matches are being staged to help select the county’s One-Day team for the upcoming Inter-county tournament, which will commence on September 4.
Deonarine’s XI won the toss and elected to take first strike. They started poorly, losing Rafael Estriado and former national youth batsman Seon Hetmyer. Skipper Deonarine and Foo combined to take their team out of trouble with the highest partnership of the match to help their team post a formidable total of 212 all out in 47 overs of their allotted 50 overs.
Foo topscored with 67. He was assisted by Deonarine with 40. Johnson took 4-39 off eight overs.
Assad Fudadin’s XI batted poorly in their reply, finishing 157 all out. Gudakesh Motie (30) and Jason Sinclair (27) were the leading scorers as Deonarine returned to take 2-21 and Krishendat Ramoo 2-19.
