A magnificent unbeaten century from national player Akshaya Persaud was instrumental in getting Demerara to a commanding total at the end of the opening day’s play against Essequibo in the Guyana Cricket Board’s senior Inter-County four-day tournament yesterday.
After being asked to bat at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Bourda ground, Demerara piled on 394 for five in 89.5 overs. Essequibo did not do themselves any justice in the field, putting down four catches while getting chances but on occasions, off of no balls.
