Sports National Police suffer second cricket loss FORMER Jamaican youth player Jesse Alexander did the damage with both bat and ball to lead Beaches to a comfortable 40-run win last weekend at the Downtown Ball Park. Alexander cracked 46 runs before snatching 4-14 from three overs with his pace bowling in the Monster Energy Drink Twenty20 Cricket Competition. Police, who lost in their opening game to the Jamaican All-Stars, invited Beaches to take first strike, but solid scores from Odayne Ewart and Alexander pushed the side to
154-7 from 20 overs. Ewart scored 49 runs (4X4s, 1X6), while Alexander’s 46 was laced with seven fours and a six. Rohan Ash led the lawmen’s attack with 3-31 from four overs. Police in reply never recovered from their dreadful start, as they lost their first three batsmen for four runs, and were soon snuffed out for 114 run in 14.3 overs. The only batsmen to offer any resistance were Marcus Charlemagne with 35 runs (4X4s and 2X6s) and Terrence Thomas 25 runs (3X4s).
