Test batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan shrugged off his omission from the West Indies Twenty20 squad to stroke an unbeaten double century for Georgetown Cricket Club in the Division One championship on Saturday. The right-hander, one of several changes to the senior squad to face the touring Pakistanis later this month, hit 203 to propel GCC to 359 for four in reply to Transport Sports Club’s 95 at Bourda. Sarwan, who had a subpar World Cup campaign, hammered 16 fours and nine sixes as he posted 284 for the fourth wicket with Guyana left-hander Vishaul Singh who carved out 121. Robin Bacchus, Ricardo Jadunauth and Leon Johnson all fell cheaply before Sarwan and Singh took the game away from the visitors on a flat track.
He emerged from a cautious start to march to his second consecutive Division One century, reaching the landmark with his 11th boundary. Singh eventually fell at 317 for four after hitting 14 fours while Sarwan remained unbeaten. At the Demerara Cricket Club, former West Indies Under-19 left-hander Gajanand Singh stroked a stylish 111 as DCC scored 223 against Everest who were dismissed for 80 in reply. DCC were 34 for three in their second innings at the close. At Eve Leary, 18-year-old national T20 left-arm pacer Andre Stoll cracked his maiden first division century (101) to help guide Police to 308 against Malteenoes who were 72 for two in reply. (CMC)
