Ganga reaches hundred in Kenyan draw
CricInfo - 13 August 2001

Daren Ganga's fourth career first-class century was the highlight of the final day of the four-day match between the West Indies and Kenya which ended in a draw at the Mombasa Sports Ground on Sunday.

Ganga made 105 as the West Indies batted through the last day of the match, reduced to three playing days following the washout on Saturday. In reply to Kenya's first innings total of 290, the tourists were 403 for 8 when play was called off half an hour early at 5pm yesterday.

Four other West Indian batsmen reached their half-century yesterday. Chris Gayle, continuing his outstanding form from the Zimbabwean leg of the tour, made 84, sharing an opening partnership of 160 with Gayle. Both fell to the bowling of Steve Tikolo, Gayle's wicket the result of a superb running catch at the long-on boundary by Martin Suji. Ganga's 105 came from 213 balls and included 15 fours.

Wavell Hinds made an even 50, wicketkeeper-captain Courtney Browne 56, and all- rounder Neil McGarrell 54 not out. Best bowler for Kenya was the captain, Maurice Odumbe, who bowled 41 overs of off-spin in the West Indian innings to take 3/71, including the wickets of Hinds, Ramnaresh Sarwan (18) and Marlon Samuels (17). Odumbe also took the catch to remove Leon Garrick for a duck.

Tony Suji and Collins Otieno Omondi were the remaining wicket-takers for Kenya.

Kenya and the West India will play a three-match series of one-day internationals at various grounds in Nairobi on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
