PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):

West Indies kept England winless on their Caribbean tour when they comprehensively outplayed them by six wickets in the solitary Digicel Twenty20 international yesterday.

West Indies' bowlers stifled the tourists before dismissing them for a paltry 121 off 19.1 overs, with gangling left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn leading the assault with three for 24.

Ramnaresh Sarwan then extended his sublime form in the series, hammering a superb 59 off 46 balls to propel West Indies to 123 for four with two overs left in the contest at Guaracara Park.

The result left England still hunting for success after they lost the five-Test series 1-0 last week, on what has been a disappointing tour to date.

Never threatened

Faced with an upbeat West Indies side who bowled stingily and fielded brilliantly, England's batsmen never threatened and collapsed meekly after being sent in by stand-in captain Denesh Ramdin.

Sarwan, opening in the absence of regular opener and captain Chris Gayle, then expertly guided West Indies to within sight of victory, to ensure they hosts maintained their dominance of England.

The attractive right-hander, England's nightmare in the preceding Test series with 626 runs, picked up where he left off timing the ball delightfully and manoeuvering it into spaces to milk England's hapless bowlers.

He counted four fours and two sixes - the first a straight hit overhead off fast bowler Jimmy Anderson in the fifth over while the second sailed over long on off off-spinner Gareth Batty four overs later.

Inspired by earlier effort

Seemingly inspired by his earlier effort in the field, Sarwan announced his intention from the outset, hammering cover-driven boundaries from the first two balls of the third over, as West Indies garnered 13 from fast bowler Amjad Khan's first over.

He survived a simple chance to Khan at long off, off medium pacer Dimitri Mascarenhas when he was 38 in the 12th over, but it was the only blemish in a carefully crafted innings.

Sarwan lost opening partner Andre Fletcher for six in the second over, holding out in the deep off seamer Stuart Broad, but formed two partnerships that sealed the deal for the hosts.

First, he shared a 34-run, second-wicket stand off just 22 balls with Shivnarine Chanderpaul (12) and then added a further 60 from 61 balls for the third wicket with Lendl Simmons who was unbeaten on 23 at the end.
