A sedate century from the Guyana Jaguars captain and a five-wicket haul from their most seasoned spinner, Veerasammy Permaul highlighted the final day’s play of the Guyana Jaguars’ final preparation match ahead of the Cricket West Indies Regional Four Day tournament.

Play at the Providence Stadium yesterday saw Johnson resuming on 56 to notch up 118 before being the penultimate wicket of the day’s play.

The 31-year-old left hander carved 22 delightful boundaries, playing innovative shots to much success before he attempted to sweep Permaul and was given leg before wicket by umpire Moses Ramnarine coming down to the end of the day.
