Guyana Country in South America

Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Venezuela to the west, and Suriname to the east. With an area of 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the third-smallest sovereign state on mainland South America after Uruguay and Suriname.

Cornelius was born in Anna Regina, in what is now Guyana's Pomeroon-Supenaam region. [1] He made his first-class debut for Guyana during the 1966–67 Shell Shield season, against Barbados. [2] He had little success as a bowler during his debut season, taking five wickets from three matches, but against Jamaica scored 60 runs from seventh in the batting order, which was to be the highest score of his first-class career. [3] During the 1968–69 season, Cornelius took 17 wickets from four matches, and was the fifth biggest wicket taker for the competition, behind only Philbert Blair among his teammates. [4] His season included two five-wicket hauls – 5/67 against Jamaica and 6/104 against the Leeward Islands. [2] During the 1969–70 season, Cornelius finished as the leading wicket-taker for Guyana and third overall, with 16 wickets from his four games. [5] Against the Combined Islands, he took the best figures of his career, 6/56 from 29 overs. [6] Despite his successes, Cornelius played only one further season for Guyana, with his last first-class appearance coming in March 1971, against the touring Indians. [2] He finished with exactly 50 wickets from his 15 first-class matches. [7]

First-class cricket is an official classification of the highest-standard international or domestic matches in the sport of cricket. A first-class match is of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each although, in practice, a team might play only one innings or none at all.
