Permaul and Holder are now in the top five of our batsmen as well....

How many wickets will Guyana lose in erasing the deficit?

You realise that Bishoo is only 26 years old!!

And what of the claims of Ryan Austin or Sunil Narine, or Shane Shillingford?

Both shillinford and austin is older, we should be looking at someone young so he can develop with the west indies team. Narine on the other hand will go the way of Gayle, Bravo and Pollard and be freelancers for WI having their IPL stints and other T20 stints around the world.

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Sammy strikes Johnson LBW Sammy 06. Guyana 31-2

GUYvWIN:Good partnership being developed 41 between Fudadin 17 and Deonarine 31. Guy 72-2, trail by 42

GUYvWIN:50 runs partnership between Fudadin 17 and Deonarine 40.

GUYvWIN:Deonarine 50 from 67 balls 92 mins. 6X4 and 1X6. Guyana 95-2, trail by 19. Deonarine 52. Fudadin 19

Deo is emerging as one of the more consistent batsmen in the early rounds....

He's certainly forcing the selectors to take note of his performances, especially in relation to the current pretenders.

Guyana 124-2. Fudadin 27 and Deonarine 72.

Guyana remove the first innings deficit and piling on runs for Windwards to chase

GUYvWIN:Guyana 131-2 lead by 17. 100 runs partnership between Deonarine 78 and Fudadin 28 in 104 mins from 168 balls

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Deonarine c Shillingford b Mathurin 84. Guyana 160-3

Deo missed a chance of getting to three figures. Pity!

Still, the way the other batsmen have been collapsing, Deo is beginning to look like Headley among midgets!

GUYvWIN:WICKET! FUDADIN LBW MATHURIN 51-Guyana 160-4

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Chattergoon c wp James b Sebastien DUCK. Guyana 160-5

Looks like Windwards winning this tomorrow....

GUYvWIN:Barnwell and Crandon at the crease both on 1. GUY: 162-5 TEA

GUYvWIN:TEA! GUY: 162-5, Barnwell and Crandon 1*. Mathurin: 9-2-22-2; Sebastien:7-0-22-1, Sammy:8-5-20-1. Guy lead by 48

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Crandon LBW Shillingford 19 playing no shot. Guyana 208-6

GUYvWIN:Barnwell pulls Shillingford over straight mid wicket for SIX. Barnwell 50. 52 balls, 66 mins, 6X4 and 2X6. Guy 246-6

GUY:261-6. 50 partnership 62 balls, 44 mins. Barnwell 63, Christian 14

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Sebastian strikes Barnwell c wp James for 75. Guy 280-7

What will the target be?

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Sebastien strikes Christian LBW 21. GUY: 281-8

GUYvWIN:WICKET! Permaul LBW Mathurin 5. Guyana 291-9 lead 177

Should Guyana declare now? Given the poor batting in this tournament so far, this could be a total the Guyanese bowlers could easily defend!

GUYvWIN:WICKET: Beaton c & b Sebastien 2. Guyana ALL OUT 294. LEAD 180

GUYvWIN: GUY: ALL OUT 294. Mathurin 18-2-64-3; Sebastien; 14-0-55-4. FOUR OVERS LEFT FOR THE DAY. TARGET 181

The wicket of Devon Smith is crucial. If he gets going, the Windwards will win. If he goes cheaply, then Guyana could win.
