Easy win for St. Lucia

St Lucia captain Darren Sammy had a fantastic debut in the Stanford 20/20 Tournament.

Not only did he lead his team to victory over the British Virgin Islands but the 22 year old had a phenomenal pay day as well.

He won for himself US$35,000 for his the two big money awards of the night.

Sammy won the Man-of-the-Match prize of US$25,000 in addition to the Play-of-the-Match of US$10,000.

Sammy won the Man-of-the-Match for his tight all round performance and superb leadership of his team. Opening the bowling the medium pacer sent down his quota of four overs for a mere 14 runs in addition to 2 wickets to help limit the BVI to 105 for 9 from 20 overs.

The skipper then returned with the bat after the loss of two wickets with the score on 32 to hit 21 from 13 balls with four boundaries. St Lucia ended up knocking off the BVI total in 14.3 overs with only three wickets down.

Sammy won the play of the day for the second of his two run outs. He ran out the BVI wicketkeeper Daniel Singh with a rocket throw.

The Play-of-the-Match was judged by the panel of television commentators Tony Cozier, Ian Bishop, Pat Symcox and Mike Haysman while three legends of West Indies cricket deliberated on the Man-of-the-Match.

For the third game of the Stanford 20/20 Tournament the responsibilities fell on legends Sir Viv Richards, Sir Everton Weekes and Gordon Greenidge.
