By Ricky Kissoon The runs feast continues during week six as Lehman’s Saiful Hasan scored his first century (112) of the season against Bronx Science HS, while Martin Van Buren’s Tajinder Singh slams his first unbeaten ton (108*) against Newcomers HS. [caption id="attachment_9308" align="alignright" width="252" caption="Saiful Hasan of Lehman High School struck 112 against Bronx Science HS."][/caption] Amarnauth Persaud continues to prove why he’s one of the most talented batsmen in the Public School Athletic Cricket League as he leads all players in runs scored with the best batting average. Syed Islam fell five runs (95) short of his first century and lead wicket taker, Taher Miah of Clinton thumped William Bryant by 9 wickets at Kissena Park on Saturday, May 12th.Β  Furthermore, Clinton’s division rival Lehman, almost spoiled LIC’s undefeated streak in a nail-biting finish at the picturesque Baisley Park South after Lehman restricted LIC to 105 total runs, but then failed to seize the opportunity for the β€œbig” win. Centurions: (1) Saiful Hasan (112) – Lehman HS (2) Tajinder Singh (108*) – Martin Van Buren HS Hat-trick:Β  Dhanraj Hansraj (3 wickets, 3 runs allowed) – Richmond Hill HS Five wicket haul: (1) Keifer Phill (5 wickets) – HS of Construction (2) Naquarn Charlemagne (5 wickets, 23 runs allowed) – Prospects Heights Top five leading run scorers:
