Harpy Eagles make 324 against Red Force; fifties from Sinclair, Johnson and Bramble

“Being bowled out was a bit of a damper. (But) I think we did well to recover from 30-odd for three to get to 324 at the end of the day,” captain Johnson, who is playing his last season for Guyana, told CWI Media at the close.

After the early loss of opening pair Tevin Imlach (4) and Matthew Nandu (10) and debutant Kevlon Anderson (6), Johnson and Kemol Savory repaired the innings with a partnership of 97 before both fell within 10 runs of each other to make it 140-5.

Johnson made 62 off 99 (12x4s) and Savory 44 off 109 (4x4s).

Sinclair and Bramble then put together 79 for the sixth wicket, before Bramble was dismissed for a run-a-ball 56 (8x4s, 1×6).
