Back-to-back fifties a confidence booster says Johnson

Leon Johnson is brimming with confidence after scoring back-to-back fifties.

After leading his side to a seven-wicket win over Jamaica Scorpions with half centuries in both innings, Guyana Jaguars’ captain, Leon Johnson said the performances were a confidence booster.

Speaking exclusively to Stabroek Sport, Johnson, who had just one half-century in the tournament prior to the match said: “Scoring back-to-back half centuries is obviously good for my confidence, I have been working hard and training with Shiv [Shivnarine Chanderpaul] and Griff [Rayon Griffith], I felt good in the first innings and in the second innings it was just to get a start and carry on seeing the team home.”

The 32-year-old added, “Hopefully I could continue it in the next three rounds and finish the tournament strong.”
