Former Guyana Under-15 all-rounder Abdul Ramsammy’s maiden century led the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) past Malteenoes at the MYO Ground last weekend.
Abdul Ramsammy
Guyana Under-15 fast bowler Isai Thorne snatched 6-27 to help MYO complete a 388-run victory, after scoring 437.
Batting first on a small outfield, MYO openers played fearless cricket strokes adding 119 for the opening partnership. Opening batters Tomani Caesar and Anthony Williams stroked 58 runs each to bat the weary Malteenoes bowlers out of the game. National Under-15 Captain Zeynul Ramsammy and his older brother, Abdul Ramsammy joined forces and eventually continued where the openers left off.
Zeynul was unlucky when he was dismissed for 49, but Abdul continued to time the cricket ball exquisitely. Romel Retimiah, a former Guyana Under-15 player, contributed 40 and Krishna Singh got 48 in the runs fest at MYO. Abdul was the final batsman, dismissed for a majestic 112 as MYO were bowled out for a daunting 437 in 49.1 overs.
Isai Thorne
Bowling for Malteenoes, Wayne McPherson grabbed three wickets and S Sankar took two wickets in an ordinary bowling effort.
In reply, the rusty Malteenoes team were blown away for an embarrassing 49, with the young Guyana fast bowler, Thorne, being the chief destructor. Fourteen-year-old Thorne is in a bigger league, bowling at more than a frightening 70 miles per hour (mph) at a tender age. He ripped the heart out of the Malteenoes batting line-up with 6-27 and got support from Marlon Boele 2-4.
