The excitement of cricket, lovely cricket, was all over the faces of these two fans last night.
There was no disputing where their loyalties lay as the Guyana Amazon Warriors took on the Jamaica Tallawahs at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League.
Weeks of fast-pace bowling and delightful batting culminated last night in the 20-overs shortened form of the game in a carnival atmosphere. The spectacular end was before an excited crowd that included Hollywood actor Gerard Butler of 300 and Olympus Has Fallen fame.
Butler was part of a high profile line-up that has been associated with the tournament. Fellow actor Mark Wahlberg is linked to the Barbados Tridents and the Virgin Group’s Sir Richard Branson is involved with the Antigua Hawksbill.
But the night belonged to Jamaica as they beat Guyana in a thrilling finish.
