Jamaica v Guyana at Kingston

KINGSTON, Jamaica, (CMC) – Veerasammy Permaul’s gallant unbeaten half-century rallied Guyana Jaguars and helped them overcome a late order slump, on the opening day of their fifth round clash against Jamaica Franchise here yesterday.The tail-ender, better known for his lethal left-arm spin, smashed an unbeaten 75 from 99 deliveries as WICB Professional Cricket League leaders Jaguars finished the day at Sabina Park on 298 for eight.Wicketkeeper Anthony Bramble chipped in with 47, Test batsman and captain Leon Johnson scored 41 while Shiv Chanderpaul and Raymon Reifer both hit 29 and opener Shimron Hetmyer, 22.
Leg-spinner Odean Brown was the chief wicket-taker with three for 70 while fast bowler Jason Dawes (2-15) and leg-spinner Damion Jacobs (2-64) picked up two wickets apiece.
Jaguars were slumping at 175 for six when Permaul arrived to anchor two partnerships with his fine cameo.
He counted nine fours and two sixes, and added 38 for the seventh wicket with Bramble and then 84 for the eighth wicket with Devendra Bishoo who scored 18.
Sent in, Guyana were in trouble at 35 for two when they lost opener Vishaul Singh (6) and Hetmyer cheaply.
Johnson then put on 63 for the third wicket with Reifer who faced 52 balls and struck five fours and a six before edging Jacobs to John Campbell at slip on the stroke of lunch at 98 for three.
Johnson faced 98 balls in 163 minutes at the crease and hit six fours but Jamaica made key strikes at critical points as Guyana lost four wickets for 77 runs.

Just need to take a few more wickets and get rid of Chanderpaul early

Tail Enders  :-[

314 all out

Jamaica should have bowled out Guyana for less than 250 yesterday. They let Guyana off the hook late in the day with that partnership from the bowlers. I still think Jamaica can win if they bat good in the first innings and get Guyana out cheap in the 2nd innings.

Any points

"If West Indies win by Wednesday, you can never die. The spirits you know …" He is clutching a crumpled paper-bag of peanuts, his eyes are bloodshot, saliva drips out from the corner of his mouth, his head is tonsured, he is dishevelled, probably homeless, and he was just chased away by the cops from the boundary line. The kids call him Danny Germs. He used to be Richard Austin. A West Indies Test cricketer. He even represented Jamaica in football and was by all accounts a good table-tennis player. He was one of the cricketers who went on the 1983 rebel tour of South Africa and found himself ostracised on return. These days he is high on cocaine, wasting himself on the streets of Jamaica, and in general drifting his life away.
