Chattergoon spurs Guyana to lopsided victory
Staff Reporter - 8 October 2001
A maiden unbeaten century from Sewnarine Chattergoon figured largely
in Guyana's home victory over Antigua at the Bourda Cricket Grounds,
giving Guyana four more points in their quest for Red Stripe Bowl.
In a match that was as noticeable for the home team's performance as
for the disciplined crowd behaviour following a previous warning,
Antigua won the toss and opted to bat. Expectations, however, fell
woefully short as only Ian Tittle and wicket keeper Bertel Baltimore
put up any resistance. The Guyanese bowlers were miserly, with
Mahendra Nagamootoo being the star, returning figures of 10-3-19-2.
A 69-run opening stand eliminated almost a third of the 182-run
target. When Ramnaresh Sarwan fell at 151, after making 36, the result
was virtually decided. Shivnarine Chanderpaul carefully turned the
strike over to Chattergoon to help him to his ton. Coming on the heels
of his score of 58 against Southern Windwards, Chattergoon's ton was
an exercise in patience and stolidity. His match-winning knock has
ensured that Guyana has stayed undefeated in their three matches thus
far in the tournament.
