Windies beat Kent by 91 runs

Tuesday, June 22 2004

The West Indian trio of Sarwan (79), Lara (68) and Chanderpaul (60) primarily accounted for a winning total against Kent. In their fourth Natwest warmup, the West Indian batting continued to prosper, posing 274/8 in their 48 overs.

England Test bowler, Martin Saggers grabbed 5 for 51, including Chris Gayle (0) second ball. The big partnerships came between Chanderpaul and Sarwan (107 runs) and Sarwan and Lara (99 runs).

Chasing, Kent lost Carberry (7) early, but the West Indian bowlers started with very uninspiring control. Former England Test batsman, Ed Smith (54 from 73) was the only significant innings, as the middle order fell away. Chris Gayle had second highest scorer (A Khan - 21) stumped to end the innings at 183 all out.

Jermaine Lawson ended with 4 wickets and Dwayne Smith and Ravi Rampaul got 2 each.
