GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — A match that promised so much delivered very little, leaving hosts Guyana to question their own country’s fickle weather which reduced their top-of-the-table clash with Jamaica to a no decision in the WICB Regional Under-19 Championship yesterday.

Jamaica, choosing to bat, had wobbled to 86 for five, when rain stopped play eight minutes before lunch on the final day of the badly weather-affected second round contest at Bourda Oval.

But the weather-beaten outfield could hardly take another drop, and the players never returned following the interval.

Both sides were awarded three points, remaining in a three-way tie at the top of the ladder with Barbados on 15 points.

The Jamaicans face the Barbadians at Eve Leary in the third round, which opens tomorrow, when Guyana meet Trinidad & Tobago at Everest.

Meanwhile, a late morning deluge condemned Barbados and Leeward Islands to settle for a no-decision in their game as well.

Rain stopped play five minutes before lunch with the Leewards on 39 for two, after they chose to bat on the final day of the second round match at the Demerara Cricket Club.

But the outfield, sodden following two days of rain, failed to adequately handle the additional water, and the players never returned following the interval, with the official decision to cease coming at the time for the regularly scheduled tea break.
