Records tumble in Demolition victory

PACED by a hurricane 132 runs from Nicholas Ramphal, Demo-lition windball cricketers went into the record books of  the Sunshine Frosted Flakes/NSL Windball Cricket League.

Ramphal, a PowerGen player in the Carib National League Division I, helped Demolition to a record 279 for nine wickets off 25 overs against New Genera-tion at Penal last weekend. New Generation were totally demoralised after the ball-chasing they had and were routed for 16. The victory by 263 runs was the biggest in the history of the NSL. Bowler J Jairam another historic record, taking seven wickets for one run. History was also written in the league when Slammers and Burning Flames finished in a tie. Slammers totalled 68 for six wickets in their 25 overs, then bowled out the opposition for 68. Another team in prime form were New Recruits who defeated Avenue Boys by 63 runs at Barrackpore. New Recruits scored 157 with K Lutchman scoring 57, and Avenue Boys in reply were skittle out for 94. NSL boss Lincoln Persad playing for Grand Slam was also in good form getting a valuable 21 runs to lead his team to a four-wicket victory over Massahood.
