GUYANA
and West Indies middle-order batting `stylist’ Ramnaresh Sarwan
is the first player to register three centuries in a single Regional
One-Day competition as he continued his rich form to pilot Guyana into
the final of the KFC-sponsored tournament.
In
yesterday’s first semi-final against the Leeward Islands played at
Bourda, the in-form Sarwan batted with aplomb and authority in front of
large and cheering home crowd on his way to establishing a new batting
record in Regional One-Day cricket, surpassing the previous best
tournament aggregate of 408 runs made by Keith Arthurton in 1997. His
undefeated knock of 113 took his season aggregate to 457 and also
deservedly earned him the Man-of-the-Match.
