By Everton Barnes 

Just months after passing

Act, government will be going 

back to parliament seeking 

an amendment; to raise 

the age of criminal responsibility 

from the current 8 as 

stated in the law, to 12 years 

of age. 

The commitment came 

during discussions Monday 

between Youth Affairs Minister, 

Samantha Marshall 

and a team from the United 

Nations Children’s Emergency 

Fund (UNICEF). 

Marshall reported that 

the law will take effect from 

Youth Affairs Minister, the Hon., Samantha Marshall meets with a team from the United Nations Children’s 

Emergency Fund (UNICEF)

dealing with the age 

for criminal responsibility 

will not take effect until parliament

Antigua and Barbuda is 

making a big pitch to serve 

as a Caribbean hub for Emirates 

Airlines, one of the 

leading airlines in the world. 

A technical team from 

the United Arab Emirates 

is wrapping up a trip to the 

country where the discussions 

centred on several areas 

including the possibility 

of Emirates Airlines expanding 

its reach to Latin America 

and the Caribbean with 

VC Bird International Airport 

serving as a hub. It also 

serves North America. 

Foreign Minister, 

Charles Max Fernandez, 

who chaired the discussions 

with the UAE team, said 

Emirates Airlines has distinguished 

itself as a leader 

in the travel industry with a 

strong emphasis on luxury 

and comfort. 

“The negotiations are 

still on-going and it will be 

some time yet between when 

know whether or not our 

proposals have been accepted, 

but if they do, it will be 

a tremendous boost for our 

tourism sector and the country’s 

reputation as a whole,” 

Fernandez stated. 

He said if an agreement 

is reached and an announcement 

goes out to the international 

travel market, it would 

be a signal that ‘something 

exciting’ is happening in Antigua 

and Barbuda and this 

would encourage more visitors 

to want to come. 

“We told them that Antigua 

and Barbuda is adding 

an additional 1500 hotel 

rooms by 2018, which is 

doubling our current stock. 

We also told them of the various 

tourism related projects 

that are in the pipeline and 

which will become a reality 

soon,” he reported. 

Government spokesman 

Lionel Max Hurst said if this 

arrangement goes through it 

would not be the first time 

that flights of this nature are 

taking place. He noted that 

Pan American Airways operated 

a flight from New York 

to Antigua and then to Argentina 

back in the 1960’s. 

He noted that Antigua 

was also used as a stop-over 

point for BOAC flights from 

London via Bermuda to Caracas, 

Venezuela. 

The team from the UAE 

also discussed renewable 

energy and environmental 

protection projects with 

Ministers Asot Michael and 

Molwyn Joseph and their 

technical staff. 

Fernandez said the team 

is also looking at what advice 

it can give to the country 

as it moves to expand the 

St John’s Harbour. 

He explained that Abu 

Dhabi has one of the largest 

ports in the world and the 

country has developed much 

recognition in efficient port 

management. 

“They want to look at our 

plans and to see what impact 

they may be able to make 

based on their experience 

and knowledge,” he stated. 

The UAE team is also 

exploring the possibility of 

assisting with modernising 

two primary schools; the one 

in Villa Area and the other in 

Cedar Grove. 

cont’d from pg 1 

we are going to make the amendment and 

raise it to 12 years. 

“We are the first OECS territory to have 

passed the law and now to make that adjustment. 

Countries are now moving to 12 

or 14 years for criminal responsibility,” she 

declared. 

This means anyone at the age of twelve 

years who commits a crime may be held 

criminally responsible for the act. 

She noted that the team also met with 

Acting Prime Minister and Attorney General, 

Steadroy Benjamin, who has confirmed 

the intention to make the amendment by 

yearend. 

According to Marshall the team also discussed 

ongoing programmes that UNICEF 

is funding to help develop the child and to 

protect him/her from neglect or abuse. 

She added that the ministry is looking at 

other legislation that will target children of 

low income families. 

“The idea is that we will look at ways 

to help these children directly or to develop 

programmes to help the parents to be better 

able to provide for their children,” the minister 

revealed. 

Marshall, who is also responsible for 

Social Transformation said much of the 

UNICEF programme is aimed at single parents’ 

children to ensure that despite their 

challenging circumstances they can develop 

to be productive citizens.

International Airport last Thursday, 

August 4th after he reportedly a caused 

a bomb scare aboard a LIAT flight. 

It is reported that the crew members 

aboard LIAT Flight 523 had much 

cause for apprehension when the defendant 

made terror remarks. 

Upon boarding the flight, the defendant 

refused to hand over his boarding 

pass and reportedly said to the hostess 

“How do you know I am not a terrorist?” 

He then further stated “I come to 

bomb up the plane!” 

The flight was forced to delay take 

off due to security concerns. The defendant 

was removed from the flight, taken 

to a secure location where a search was 

carried out on his person and baggage. 

No explosive devices were found. 

The flight was expected to depart 

at 4:30 p.m. and was destined to 

Guadeloupe, Dominica, Barbados, 

Grenada and then to Trinidad. It is 

reported that all customers and baggage 

were re-screened, and the flight was 

allowed to take off after some delay.

with False Alarm Of Bomb Threat, he 

pleaded guilty before Magistrate Conliffe

Court. 

Attorney Radford Hill mitigated on 

behalf of the defendant, he told the court

and his grandmother one of the 

first chemist. 

The defendant himself has been 

working in the communications department 

since 2006. He asked that 

the defendant be shown mercy and not 

be given a custodial sentence. 

Before ruling, the presiding magistrate 

stated that ‘given the defendant’s 

background, he ought to have known 

better than to let idle words and loose 

talk land him before the court. 

Whatever words were said were 

enough to create security concern 

and must now face the consequences’. 

He informed the defendant that the 

maximum penalty for this offence is

Grieving family meets with Acting PM 

By Joanna Paris 

Family members of the late Oniqua 

“Nikki” Phillip on Monday met with 

Acting Prime Minister and Attorney 

General, the Hon. Steadroy “Cutie” 

Benjamin. 

Phillip tragically lost her life in an 

accident on Carnival Tuesday, when 

she was crushed by a trailer truck. 

Police have indicated that the matter 

is no longer being treated just as a 

traffic accident. 

Benjamin, who is also the Minister 

of National Security, have confirmed 

that statements have been taken from 

the driver of the truck and added that 

homicide officers are now also involved 

in the investigations. 

Members of the family were emotional 

throughout the meeting, where 

Minister of National Festivals with responsibility 

for Carnival, the Hon. E.P 

Chet Greene was also in attendance. 

Minister Greene indicated that he 

has been in contact with the family 

as soon as he was able to get contact 

The Police Administration 

within the Royal Police 

Force of Antigua and Barbuda 

has responded to certain 

misguided and malicious 

remarks made in certain 

quarters of the international 

media, concerning the unfortunate 

death of 25-year 

old Oniqua “Nikki” Phillip, 

last Tuesday. 

Whilst the Police Administration 

share in the grief 

and pain family members 

are experiencing at this time, 

the Police Administration 

likewise, craves the indulgence 

and patience of the

that moments of silence have been 

observed on two occasions- at the closing 

ceremony for Carnival at Ffreyes 

Beach and also at the Calypso Awards 

ceremony over the weekend. 

Minister Benjamin commended his 

colleague Minister for being “so proactive” 

with regards to the matter. 

For his part, he expressed regret that 

the unfortunate incident occurred and 

family, as well as the local 

and international media, as 

the police go about conducting 

investigations into this 

matter. The incident is one 

which is being investigated 

thoroughly, and has received 

the full attention of the Administration. 

According to the Police 

Administration, their scope 

of investigations has been 

broadened beyond that of a 

normal fatal accident investigation. 

A team, which comprises 

of Sergeants within 

the Traffic Department and 

members of the Homicide 

assured that steps will be reinforced 

to ensure that “this does not happen 

again”. 

“We are going to make sure that going 

forward from now on, the rules and 

regulations which have been implemented 

since 2009 are enforced. I undertake 

to make sure that this becomes 

law so that this does not happen in the 

future”, he said sympathetically. 

He also assured that the law will 

take its course. 

Phillip’s mother, Dornell Phillip 

has confirmed that American Airlines 

has agreed to fly the body back to New 

York free of cost. 

The family also appealed for more 

communication so that they can have a 

better understanding as to what really 

happened on that life changing Carnival 

Tuesday. They also called for the 

release of Phillip’s body and are also 

awaiting her official death certificate. 

The Government of Antigua and 

Barbuda has pledged to give assistance 

where possible to Phillip’s family. 

Police addresses concerns raised over Phillip’s death 

Unit within the Criminal Investigations 

Department, are 

now on board conducting 

further investigations into 

the incident. 

The driver of the vehicle 

was interviewed on more 

than one occasion, and several 

statements were recorded 

from a number of witnesses. 

A Post Mortem has already 

been completed, while 

a toxicology report is pending. 

The vehicle involved 

in the incident is currently 

impounded at Police Headquarters. 

The Police Administration 

also said that 

in cases, where after investigations 

are carried out and 

no one is charged, the matter 

is referred to the Office of 

Public Prosecutions for his 

views, opinions and advice, 

or be referred to the Coroner 

for a Coroner’s Inquest to be 

conducted.

Development Bank (CDB) 

launches its new Education 

and Training Policy and 

Strategy later in 2016, it will 

have had the input of some of 

the Caribbean Region’s key 

stakeholders. 

The Bank has undertaken 

a consultative process to ensure 

that the document, which 

will guide its funding and support 

for education and training 

in the Region, is aligned 

to countries’ specific needs. 

In addition to guiding the 

Bank’s development assistance 

to its Borrowing Member 

Countries (BMCs), the 

Strategy and Policy will take 

into account regional and 

global agendas on education. 

“As we contemplate a new 

education development agenda, 

we should be innovative 

and bold,” said Deidre Clarendon, 

Division Chief, Social 

Sector Division, CDB during 

the opening of the Regional 

Consultation on the Development 

of the Bank’s New Education 

and Training Policy 

and Strategy at CDB in Barbados 

on July 25, 2016. 

“The new Policy and 

Strategy will focus our attention 

on the existing disparities 

within the system and will be 

designed to strengthen the capacity 

of education systems in 

BMCs. It will help these countries 

achieve positive learning 

outcomes and contribute 

to building a high-quality 

knowledge economy in the 

Region,” she noted. 

For three days, from July 

25 to 27, 2016, stakeholders 

in education from around the 

Region attended the Consultation. 

Attendees got a first 

look at the draft of the Education 

and Training Policy and 

Strategy, shared knowledge 

and experiences, and provided 

comments on the document. 

The agenda included 

a number of sessions, which 

explored: 

the current state of education 

in the Region; 

stakeholders’ collective 

responsibility for promoting a 

culture of lifelong learning in 

the Caribbean Region; 

OECS Director General welcomes 

Ambassador Cosmo Richardson 

The Director General of the OECS, His 

Excellency Dr. Didacus Jules has welcomed 

the appointment of Cosmos Richardson as 

Saint Lucia’s newly appointed Ambassador

was a distinguished public servant whose appointment 

would be a great asset to the OECS 

given his extraordinary depth of knowledge, 

experience and commitment to Caribbean integration 

and Diaspora Affairs. 

“Ambassador Richardson’s wealth of 

public sector experience in areas such as 

trade, foreign affairs, and cabinet governance 

represents a strengthening of the Commission 

as we seek to advance and accelerate the implementation 

of the Revised Treaty of Basseterre 

and to realize a better standard of living 

for all citizens. 

“The state of our regional economies require 

a renewed call for action and innovative 

solutions and to this end Ambassador Richardson 

will also be providing valued guidance 

on how the Caribbean diaspora can play 

an increasing role in both skills and resources 

transfer to our region for enhanced economic 

growth. 

“With our focus on the future and united 

in our quest for the advancement and security 

for the Caribbean, the OECS warmly welcomes 

Ambassador Richardson to his new 

post and look forward with anticipation, to 

the significant contribution he will make in 

our journey toward a more prosperous, unified 

OECS” said Dr. Jules.

to or impede success in education; 

issues of access to, and equity 

and participation in education 

and training, including

Ifill, President of the Senate of 

Barbados. Senator Ifill is visually 

impaired and has shared 

widely on her education experience 

in the Barbados education 

system in a number of

CDB’s new Education and 

Training Policy and Strategy 

builds on the results of 

a comprehensive review of 

the existing 2004 Policy and 

Strategy. 

The development of the 

new version complements 

CDB’s ongoing collaboration 

with the Caribbean Community 

(CARICOM) to prepare 

a Regional Human Resource 

Development Strategy and 

Action Plan.

Monday’s Crossword Solution 

HOROSCOPE 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t 

saddle yourself with presumptive 

responsibility or animosity. 

Let your brain reside in the evidence 

that’s happening in real 

time instead of leaping forward 

to make up stories based on 

probabilities you’ve made up in 

your head. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). 

Holding a person’s interest will 

have more to do with holding 

back than showing up strong. No 

one will be more interesting than 

the person who isn’t even there. 

Use the element of mystery carefully 

and responsibly. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). On 

some level you want to feel that 

you are continuously earning 

what you’ve got, every step of 

the way, otherwise you won’t 

value it as much. This is why 

you suddenly feel animated, creative 

and witty around the person 

who’s walking away. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). 

It’s weak to be closed off to the 

competition. It makes you seem 

overly worried about losing. Relax. 

Remember that “the competition,” 

in some other scenario, 

could become your colleague 

and/or ally. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 

21). You’re getting pretty good 

about getting around the questions 

you don’t want to answer. 

And by the way, there are very 

few, if any, people in the world 

to whom you actually owe an 

explanation. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 

19). Gateways aren’t just about 

drugs. They’re also about heaven, 

beautiful parks, magnificent 

homes and success in general. 

Make life easier by posting figurative 

gateways that open to the 

wonders you want to experience. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). 

If you’re wondering if you’re 

good enough for a situation, 

it’s either a sign that you’re not 

ready for it, or it’s an opportunity 

to rise to the occasion and 

become who you’ve always 

wanted to be. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). 

What you need is a kind of performance 

coach — someone 

who can tell you how to improve 

and hone your work. Perhaps the 

most important question to ask 

now is: “Is this the right kind of 

work for this crowd?” 

ARIES (March 21-April 19). 

Happiness is knowing your way 

out before you get stuck. With an 

exit strategy in place you can relax 

and enjoy your environment, 

knowing you’re not trapped. It’s 

your choice to be there. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). 

Does it seem like you’re crumpling 

into a stress wad? Take a 

walk. Oxygen levels go up, synapses 

fire, and then the endorphins 

kick in, too. It will become 

a completely different day because 

of your better brain. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). 

It’s safe to assume that everyone 

is rooting for you. After all, 

most of the people around you 

serve to gain something if you 

succeed. And the others — well, 

they gain something from pretending 

to be supportive. 

CANCER (June 22-July 22). 

So much of human interaction 

happens at a basic and tribal level. 

This is how we’ve survived as 

a species for thousands of years, 

so don’t blame yourself for joining 

in the group think now. Just 

know it’s not the only option.

Rahkeem Jimbo Cornwall non-selection 

to West Indies team is worrisome 

By Vanroy Burnes 

The non-selection of Rahkeem Jimbo 

Cornwall in the West Indies senior 

team is worrisome to cricket greats and 

fans around the Caribbean. 

Sir Vivian Richards one of cricket’s 

greatest legends and considered as the 

best batsman ever to grace the cricket 

game, said just before the start of the 

second test in Jamaica that Cornwall’s 

inclusion would have brought a balance 

to the West Indies team. 

The non-selection of Cornwall is 

also worries Legends Sir Andy Roberts, 

Sir Curtly Ambrose and also former 

Windies pacers Winston Benjamin 

and Kenneth Benjamin among other 

former Windies greats. 

The late Tony Cozier one of the 

West Indies trio fail 

and slide to defeat 

LONDON — West Indies 

Women captain Stafanie 

Taylor shone with the ball 

but failed with the bat as her 

Western Storm slipped to a 

five-run defeat to Loughborough 

Lightning in the inaugural 

English Women Super 

League here Friday. 

Bowling her off-spin, 

Taylor finished with two 

for 35 from her four overs 

as Lightning, opting to bat 

first, posted 158 for eight off 

their 20 overs at Haslegrave 

Ground. 

Wicketkeeper Amy 

Jones top-scored with 46 

off 30 balls while Australian 

Ellyse Perry chipped in with 

44 off 37 balls. 

most knowledgeable individuals in the 

game of cricket and one of the finest 

commentator and sport journalist had 

predicted that great things would come 

from Cornwall as an all-rounder. 

According to the cricket greats and 

other cricket pundits, Cornwall has 

proven that he is test material, over the 

past two years, he has outshined most 

of the current players in the team. In the 

Leeward Islands tournament, Cornwall 

performed with both bat & ball. 

In the West Indies Cricket Board 

Professional Cricket League, he has the 

second most wickets and did well with 

the bat. 

The big burly figure is really on top 

of his game at this time. He made his 

best bowling figures of seven for 96 

In reply, Storm were limited 

to 153 for five off their 

20 overs, with Taylor scoring 

nine from 12 balls at the 

top of the order. 

She was bowled by South 

African leg-spinner Dane 

van Niekerk in the fourth 

over as Storm slipped to 26 

for two in the sixth but captain 

Heather Knight, who 

top-scored with 74 off 46 

balls, put on 78 for the third 

wicket with Fran Wilson 

(21), to prop up the innings. 

At StanLey Park in 

Blackpool, both West Indies 

players Deandra Dottin 

and Hayley Matthews failed 

with the bat as their Lancashire 

Thunder went down 

Stafanie Taylor 

to Southern Vipers by 11 

runs. 

Batting first, Vipers 

reached 132 for four off 

their 20 overs with New 

Zealander Sara McGlashan 

top-scoring with 54 off 50 

balls. 

Teenager Matthews, 

who opened the bowling, 

took two for 16 in a brilliant 

against Guyana. 

However he did not stop there, 

Cornwall had another seven wicket 

haul against Jamaica and hit an explosive 

101 not out in the same match, If 

that did not justify his selection, he had 

a five wicket haul against the touring 

Indian team playing for the President’s 

X1 team picking up five for 118 runs 

and hit 41 runs. 

The Selectors simply cannot justify 

their reason or reasons for Cornwall’s 

none selection. 

On the local scene, Cornwall is one 

of the most feared batsman by bowlers 

and his dominance in the recently 

ABCA cricket season and also the Cool 

& Smooth T-20 competition of which 

he was the MVP.

Dottin finished with one for 

21 from her four. 

In reply, Thunder were 

held to 121 for seven with 

Matthews failing to score at 

the top of the order and Dottin 

perishing for five. 

Emma Lambe top-scored 

with 34 of 35 deliveries.

Ervine ton stalls dominant New Zealand 

BULAWAYO - Zimbabwe 

celebrate their heroes 

on August 8, and in Craig 

Ervine they certainly found 

one. His maiden Test ton and 

148-run sixth-wicket stand 

with debutant PJ Moor took 

Zimbabwe to within 78 runs 

of avoiding the follow-on. 

Perhaps more crucially, he 

frustrated a New Zealand 

attack that now has a maximum 

of two days - could be 

lesser if the visitors have to 

bat - to take 14 wickets and 

on a flat Queens Sports Club 

surface. 

In their favour is the 

fact that New Zealand have 

discovered the best way 

to break through - reverse 

swing. With the second 

new ball that is more than 

30 overs old, they may start 

looking for it again early on 

fourth morning. When they 

found it with their first ball, 

they made life uncomfortable 

for the Zimbabwean 

line-up, who were suffocated 

with close fields to the 

spinners. 

With just eight Tests 

under his belt, Ervine, the 

most experienced of Zimbabwe’s 

line-up going into 

this match, played the way a 

senior should. His approach 

combined caution with clever 

stroke-play and ensured 

the scoreboard kept ticking 

over. Zimbabwe scored 250 

runs on the day, 120 in the 

final session alone. The dismissal 

of Moor for 71 in the 

last half hour lifted the morale 

of the visitors, who were 

run ragged after a spirited 

start. 

Ervine was needed after 

Zimbabwe’s openers - Chamu 

Chibhabha and Tino 

Mawoyo - gave the team 

their best start in 13 Tests, 

over five years, with a 65- 

run stand. Chibhabha was 

lucky to survive a confident 

shout off a Trent Boult delivery 

that tailed back in late. 

There was a bat-pad noise 

which may have put umpire 

Paul Reiffel off. 

His opening partner 

Mawoyo appeared to be 

better equipped to play defensively 

and bullishly. He 

fronted up to Neil Wagner’s 

short-ball strategy before inside-edging 

a drive onto the 

stumps. 

After they were separated, 

Sikandar Raza, batting 

at No. 3 in place of the injured 

Hamilton Masakadza, 

squandered an opportunity 

to present his case further. 

By then, a spell of uncertainty 

had been woven into 

the Zimbabwean mindset. 

For 9.3 overs, Raza looked 

to have put away his aggressive 

streak but then drove lazily 

at a wide Wagner delivery 

with no foot movement 

to give Kane Williamson at 

gully a present on his 26th 

birthday. 

Chibhabha, for all his 

fidgeting, had shown ability 

to occupy the crease. He 

fought his way to fifty and 

looked like he would see 

out the opening session. But 

Williamson’s decision to in- 

Craig Ervine 

troduce spin in the form of 

Mitchell Santner paid off as 

Chibhabha drove with hard 

hands to find short cover. 

New Zealand could have 

had one more in the opening 

session when Southee 

tempted Ervine to drive, 

only to see Ross Taylor grass 

an opportunity in the slips. 

Instead, they had to wait 

until after the break when 

Prince Masvaure brought 

about his own dismissal as 

the ball bounced back off a 

half-hearted defense to hit 

leg stump. 

That brought Zimbabwe’s 

most assured pair of 

Ervine and Sean Williams 

together. While they were 

watchful, they also cashed 

in when the bad balls came 

their way. Williams, fresh 

off a century in the previous 

Test, was in sparkling form 

till he was adjudged lbw off a 

premeditated reverse-sweep 

against Ish Sodhi. 

After a period of settling 

in, Moor scored freely, especially 

off the second new 

ball, which became available 

with 25 minutes left in 

the session. But Williamson, 

who waited until there were 

only 10 overs left before taking 

it, may need to wait a 

little longer before it brings 

rewards. (ESPNcricinfo)



Tallawahs rout Warriors 

to claim second CPL title 

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts 

- A rematch from Wednesday’s 

first Caribbean Premier 

League playoff qualifier between 

the regular season’s 

top two teams quickly turned 

into an uncontested romp for 

Jamaica Tallawahs, who rampaged 

past Guyana Amazon 

Warriors by nine wickets to 

claim their second CPL title 

on Sunday night at Warner 

Park. For Warriors, it was a 

flat effort that left them runner-up 

for the third time in 

four CPL seasons, twice to 

Tallawahs. 

Warriors were the regular 

season table-toppers and beat 

Tallawahs in two of their prior 

three meetings, including by 

four wickets in Wednesday’s 

opening playoff match. On 

Sunday, however, they stumbled 

badly after being sent in 

by Chris Gayle at the toss and 

were bowled out for a franchise 

record low total of 93 in 

just 16.1 overs. Warriors never 

won a game while batting 

first in 2016, and lost all three 

games in which they batted 

first, with two of those losses 

coming against Tallawahs. 

Warriors were under pressure 

early when Nic Maddinson 

became the first of three 

batsmen dismissed first ball, 

edging Andre Russell behind 

in the first over. A bigger blow 

came at the start of the third 

over when Chris Lynn, the 

tournament’s leading scorer, 

carved Shakib Al Hasan 

straight to Jonathan Foo at 

backward point for 7. 

Left-handed Sohail Tanvir 

was promoted up the order to 

No. 4 in an attempt to combat 

the left-arm spin threat posed 

by Shakib and Imad Wasim. 

At an individual level, the 

plan worked as Tanvir topscored 

with 42 off 37 balls, 

but the rest of his team-mates 

struggled. Despite Tanvir’s 

calm, chaos was ever-present 

at the opposite end. Dwayne 

Smith was one of just two 

others apart from Tanvir to 

reach double-figures but his 

stay ended for 17 when he 

top-edged a pull off Oshane 

Thomas to Rovman Powell at 

mid-on to make it 50 for 3 in 

the eighth. 

With the top three removed, 

Shakib and eventual 

Man of the Match Imad 

Wasim set about tearing 

through the middle order in 

ruthless fashion. Jason Mohammed 

was trapped playing 

down the wrong line to an arm 

ball from Shakib for a golden 

duck to make it 53 for 4 before 

Imad took the first of his 

three wickets as Christopher 

Barnwell mistimed a slog to 

Gayle at short midwicket for 

10. Two balls later, Anthony 

Bramble was bowled backing 

away for a slog and Imad 

claimed his third in four balls 

to start the 15 th when Rayad 

Emrit was stumped for nought 

missing a flick to a leg-side 

wide to make it 83 for 7. 

Kesrick Williams picked up two wickets off two balls in the 16th 

over. 

Kesrick Williams also was 

on a hat-trick in the 16 th over - 

he had Tanvir caught by Foo 

running in from the midwicket 

boundary, and followed it 

up with a gem of a delivery 

that jagged back in to knock 

Steven Jacobs’ off stump for 

7. Adam Zampa survived the 

hat-trick ball to end the over, 

but was out one ball later after 

failing to ground his bat coming 

back for a second run with 

Williams’ relay from long leg 

to Sangakkara producing the 

end of the innings. 

Gayle propelled the chase 

with his third fifty-plus score 

of the season, reaching his 

half-century off 22 balls and 

ending up with 54 off 27 balls. 

He was dismissed flicking 

Emrit to Jacobs at deep midwicket. 

The Tallawahs captain 

ended the campaign as 

his side’s leading scorer with 

425 runs, third overall behind 

Lynn and St Lucia Zouks’ 

Johnson Charles. Gayle’s 

opening partner Chadwick 

Walton steered the rest of the 

chase with 25 not out, ending 

seventh overall in the CPL run 

charts with 301 runs and second 

for Tallawahs. 

However, it was the old 

pro Kumar Sangakkara who 

struck the winning runs with 

a four smeared wide of longon 

off Veerasammy Permaul 

to clinch the title with 7.1 

overs to spare. Russell was 

named Player of the Tournament 

thanks in large part to 

his scintillating 100 in Friday’s 

knockout game against 

Trinbago Knight Riders. Russell 

struck the fastest century 

in Caribbean T20 history, off 

just 42 balls, and also broke a 

three-game Tallawahs losing 

streak lifting them into the final.
