Samuels stars in Antigua's first win

Wed, Aug 7, '13

Marlon Samuels' troubles with the bat continued but he starred with the ball to deliver the Antigua Hawksbills their first victory of the campaign. In front of a noisy crowd at Gros Islet, Antigua beat the home side St Lucia Zouks in a contest where most batsmen found it hard to time the ball.

St Lucia choose to bowl but Kieran Powell began with a burst of boundaries to give Antigua a sprightly start. After he holed out for 27, his opening partner Johnson Charles began to find his touch. By the time Charles was dismissed in the 11th over, Antigua were well placed at 86 for 2.
