Tage Chanderpaul : Congratulations

Nice patient WIN of a 4 day Game that went the distance....

"The Race Is Not For the Swift : BUT those whom Endureth to the END "

2 not outs.....117 and 24 for the W.

Carry on with what you doing that brings VICTORY !

Chanderpaul Hemraj 144 should not go UNrewarded, either !

last time 2 Guyana bats OPEN for W.I. was Comacho and Freddo ????????

Roy Fredericks, the diminutive and aggressive left-hander had made his Test debut in the Second Test of the 1968-69 Tour of Australia, getting scores of 76 and 47 at Melbourne, whilst opening with Camacho.
Over the next 24 matches (up to the Fifth Test versus Australia in 1973), Fredericks would only miss one, the Fifth Test versus India at the Queen’s Park Oval in 1971, making the most appearances by any of the batsmen

Steve Camacho had just enjoyed a wonderful Shell Shield Season
as Guyana had notched its first lien on the Shield.
His aggregate from six innings was 425 runs, at an average of 70.83 and included scores of 58, 50, 69, 144 and 98,
with the latter two scores coming against Trinidad at Skeldon, Berbice
Camacho, who had made his Test debut during the 1968 home series versus England
was expected to open with Fredericks in all three matches.

Kanhai won the toss on Saturday morning and chose to bat.
The visitors then proceeded to flay the Hampshire attack for 354 for 3 off 85.3 overs
with three of the four (incidentally, all Guyanese) batsmen who ventured to the crease, enjoying themselves.
Camacho (24) failed to convert his start as Fredericks (122), Kanhai (119 not out) and Lloyd (81 run out)
made substantial scores........

Tour of India and Pakistan 1974-75:
The team was announced on June 20 and the three openers selected were Fredericks, Greenidge and Baichan.

Guyana's Leonard Baichan began the tour with hundreds against Indian Universities and South Zone
and was picked ahead of Gordon Greenidge for the First Test.
Unfortunately, he was injured in a car accident the day before and Greenidge got his chance.
He made 93 run out and 107 on his Test debut.

Greenidge hurt his back whilst keeping wicket in the Fifth Test versus India
and Baichan made 105 not out in the second innings of the First Test in Pakistan
his Test debut.

Folks, HISTORY can repeat itself !

Hemraj and Tage to OPEN against the same ENGLAND as Camacho and Freddo

and of course, the erstwhile Leonard Baichan !

WTH !
Tage only lasted 72 deliveries !
of course with 67 dots .....
