A fiery spell of fast bowling from 23-year-old Nial Smith condemned Georgetown to their third successive defeat, falling to Lower Corentyne by seven wickets in the third round of the ongoing SBF Petroleum Jaguars One-Day League at Bourda, yesterday.
Smith recorded figures of 6-41 in a spell reminiscent of West Indian fast bowling fury of the past which skittled Georgetown for 104 inside 37 overs. The day began with Georgetown winning the toss and electing to bat, a decision skipper Leon Johnson and the other batsmen must have rued.
They had to contend with Smith who ran in and had his tail up, first removing Joshua Persaud (6) followed by Johnson (0) Christopher Barnwell (11), Jeremiah Scott (0) and Steven Jacobs (19) to complete his five-for.
