Saint Lucian-born John Eugene became the first man to score a hundred in the Stanford 20/20 cricket Tournament. Playing for St. Maarten against St. Vincent Eugene hammered seven fours and six glorious sixes in an impressive 46-ball knock which won him the man-of-the-match cheque of US$25,000.00.
However, it was not good enough to win the match for his team as St. Maarten eventually fell 10 runs short of the score of 168 posted by St. Vincent.
But Eugene was happy to have become only the second West Indian ever to have scored a century in 20/20 cricket. After the match he said to reporters, ""I am glad to join the company of Chris Gayle, the second West Indian to score a 20/20 hundred...I am proud of myself..."
