A maiden unbeaten century from Guyana Jaguars’ wicket keeper batsman Anthony Bramble, placed the hosts in a position of comfort at stumps last evening, the first day of their seventh-round encounter against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence

 Jaguars end the night on 276 – 8 

The day/night encounter began with the hosts winning the toss and electing to bat. A decision which left the three time defending champions wondering if they had made the right call, after finding themselves in early trouble, with the score on 41 – 4, in the 15th over.

Jaguars’ top order found themselves wanting, as Tagenarine Chanderpaul (16), skipper Leon Johnson (0), the in-form Vishaul Singh (5) and Chandrapaul Hemraj (25), all failed to make their mark, perishing before the team had recorded 50.
