Charles: Patience needed on Tarouba pitch
Red Force off-spinner Bryan Charles said patience was key to his maiden five-wicket haul in first class cricket against the Guyana Jaguars in round four of the Digicel Regional Four-Day tournament on Friday.
Charles, a former West Indies Under-19 cricketer, finished with figures of 43 overs, 12 maidens, 134 runs and five wickets. Unfortunately, the performance by Charles came in a huge defeat as the Red Force lost by an innings and 217 runs in round four at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba. Batting first, Guyana posted 484 for eight declared, before the Red Force got bowled out for 120 in the first innings and 147 in the second.
Charles, now 22 years old, said he was pleased with his effort. “It is a good feeling because it was a lot of hard work, it is a flat deck out there,” Charles said. “I had to bowl 40 plus overs so it is a really good feeling to be rewarded with the five-wicket haul.”
