The day cricket loving fans in Essequibo have longed for has arrived as the V-Net Communications sponsored Super 10 Cricket Competition will be played as scheduled today at the Golden Fleece ground.
Organised by the New Opportunity Core (NOC) Sports Club, the big names from the county are expected to be involved in the show piece tournament which has three teams; V-Net Vipers, Iman Bacchus XI and South All stars. Two masters teams will also be playing for year-long bragging rights.
V-Net, who brandish themselves as the “home of Satellite Communications in Guyana” at their 25 Delph Street, Campbellville, Georgetown location have their impressive Vipers unit being led by fast-bowler Siddiq Mohamed.
Mohamed will have Windies all-rounder Keemo Paul, national players, Raun Johnson, Kemol Savour, Kevon Boodie, Ricardo Adams and Anthony Adams all in his arsenal of fire power with both bat and ball which leaves much to be expected of the opposition.
It is unsure whether the services of marque middle-order batsman Safraz Sherifudeen will be needed given what comes above him but not taking the field could prove to be much disappointment for his large Wakenaam following who would have come to see some of his monstrous hits.
Teams will be playing each once, with the best two progressing to the final. Match time is 09:00h.
