Staff Reporter08-Oct-2001A maiden unbeaten century from Sewnarine Chattergoon figured largelyin 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 asfor the disciplined crowd behaviour following a previous warning,Antigua won the toss and opted to bat. Expectations, however, fellwoefully short as only Ian Tittle and wicket keeper Bertel Baltimoreput up any resistance. The Guyanese bowlers were miserly, withMahendra Nagamootoo being the star, returning figures of 10-3-19-2.A 69-run opening stand eliminated almost a third of the 182-runtarget. When Ramnaresh Sarwan fell at 151, after making 36, the resultwas virtually decided. Shivnarine Chanderpaul carefully turned thestrike over to Chattergoon to help him to his ton. Coming on the heelsof his score of 58 against Southern Windwards, Chattergoon’s ton wasan exercise in patience and stolidity. His match-winning knock hasensured that Guyana has stayed undefeated in their three matches thusfar in the tournament.
