Guyana v Ireland at Port of Spain

Rev will catch a fit if de Shivster open and Ton up  ::LOL::

Guyan Win toss and Bat ?  :-\

what that godforsaken Trini pitch doing ....same 22 yards as yesterday ?? 

Based on the look of the pitch for yesterday’s opening game when defending champions Windward Islands played Jamaica, the toss for this second match (today) would be a crucial factor and with Guyana having a spin-based attack, since Crandon and Deonarine can lend valuable support to Bishoo and Permaul, it would be best for them to win the toss and have a bowl first.

Good plan ....I agree ................that Trini 22 yards love Spin .... 8)

GUYANA:

Christopher Barnwell (captain), Shiv Chanderpaul (vice captain), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Anthony Bramble (wicket-keeper),

Robin Bacchus, Trevon Griffith, Leon Johnson, Narsingh Deonarine, Royston Crandon, Assad Fudadin, Devendra Bishoo,

Veerasammy Permaul, Ronsford Beaton, Paul Wintz; Esuan Crandon (coach)

IRELAND:

William Porterfield (captain), Alex Cusack, George Dockrell, John Mooney, Tim Murtagh, Andrew McBrine, Kevin O’Brien, Niall O’Brien,

Andrew Poynter, Max Sorensen, Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson, Gary Wilson, Craig Young; Phil Simmons (coach)

Porterfield the Ireland opener and captain, said they will be leaning heavily on their Trinidad and Tobago-born coach Phil Simmons.

Being a local guy himself, he is going to plant his knowledge and be a guide to the pitches and everything.

He is going to bring a wealth of knowledge.He has been fantastic for us over the last six to seven years and will be for a few more.

Guyana captain Chris Barnwellsays he is looking to his senior and experienced players like Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan

and Narsingh Deonarine to help him guide his squad  8)

Murtagh to Chanderpaul, 3 runs, fuller in length outside off, Chanderpaul leans forward and drives it between cover and extra cover
