Kaieteur Sports –Former Guyana youth player Kevin Christian continued his dream-run in this year’s edition of the New York National Cricket League (NYNCL) with a brilliant 136 last Sunday in the continuation of the 16-team round-robin competition.
Christian is now leading the runs-aggregate with 486 runs in six matches having registered four half-centuries before his 56-ball enterprising knock.
On this occasion, the right-handed Christian hammered 17 sixes and three fours as West Coast Warriors galloped to a daunting 328-9 from the allotted 30-overs while Cosmos Cricket Club replied with 118-9 at the expiration of the 30-overs.
Christian also shared a flamboyant, 233-run second-wicket stand with Brandon Cabose who recorded his maiden century in this competition with 105.
Their partnership spanned an incredible 104 deliveries with Cabose, an ex-Essequibo Inter-County player, slamming six sixes and eight fours during his impressive 71-ball stay at the crease.
The pair came together after Cabose’s opening partner Youghestir Bachan contributed 23 before the fireworks began.
