Haydn Gill12-Aug-2001Anderson Sealy yesterday made an immediate impression on his return todomestic cricket following a professional stint in England.The left-arm spinner took six wickets – a feat duplicated later byanother left-arm spinner, Ryan Hinds, just back from the Shell CricketAcademy of the St George’s University.But, it was Sealy’s performance which made more impact on a day inwhich Banks made all the running against ESA Field Pickwick.Pickwick, sent in on a pitch that posed no problems, were undone byhis flighted spin and were dismissed just before lunch in 29.1 overs.Sealy’s remarkable figures of 9.1-4-12-6 flattered him."I figured that with covered wickets that batsmen would applythemselves a bit more. They didn’t, so I took advantage of that," hesaid.Sealy only returned to Barbados on Tuesday after representing theBarbados Overseas Cricket Association in London where he took morethan 40 wickets and made 900-odd runs in 24 matches."I’ve been working a lot on my bowling. It just shows that hard workpays off."With the exception of captain Mike Matthews, who made 26, no Pickwickbatsman looked comfortable.Banks responded aggressively, the enterprise coming from the bats ofbeefy Barry Callender (53 off 59 balls) and Richard Carter (33 off 26balls).They smacked five sixes between them, but Banks fell away afterreaching 165 for five and the last five wickets fell for 25. Hindsclaimed six for 67.Still, a lead of 127 was a useful one and by the close, Pickwick hadalready lost both openers to trail by 99 runs.Prediction: Victory for Banks.
