Guyana’s first-class player Christopher Barnwell produced a stellar all-round showing for GA Spartans at the weekend to guide the side to championship honours in the cricket4life tournament in St. Maarten.
Barnwell, in the semi-final against the Adam Stanford All Stars, smashed a 50-ball 109 decorated with 10 sixes and five four to spur Spartans, to 215 – 5 from 20 overs.
Keacy Carty (30) and Tagenarine Chanderpaul (21) supported Barnwell’s knock while Suliemen Benn (2-36) was the pick of the bowlers for All-Stars who fell 60 runs short in the chase after being dismissed for 155 in 20 overs.
