Ramnath 7/47 routs Invaders in Super League

EX-NATIONAL spinner Premnath Ramnath turned back the clock last weekend with an incisive spell of bowling against Invaders in the Chifeez Super League cricket series at Balmain Village, Couva.

Balmain batted first and scored 162 with Bobby Sookoo getting a top-score 35. Invaders fell 11 runs short of their opponents’ first innings total thanks to a brilliant spell of leg-spin bowling from Ramnath who grabbed seven wickets for 47 runs. In their second knock, Balmain reached 193 with Ramnath contributing 35 but the game ended in a draw. In the Southern Super League, former Central Sports player Ralston Singh was in fine form as Rousillac and Yorkshire also played to a draw at Cunjal. Singh cracked 81 in his team’s first innings score of 192 for eight declared. Yorkshire in reply were routed for 88 with Sunil Ramkumarsingh taking three for 30. Rousillac declared their second innings at 90 for four in a bid to force an outright win, but their efforts proved futile as Yorkshire reached 130 for seven by close.
