“I think Patriots always back themselves to play great cricket; we played as a team and it was wonderful to be in the Patriots setup,” the attacking left-hander stated.
Before this game, Rutherford was somewhat inconsistent, but was elated to bounce back against one of the top teams.
“It was memorable because my family was here and it feels good to end the season on a high as well,” Rutherford related.
Patriots were left in number five position with eight points which weren’t enough to take them to the playoff segment, but Rutherford expressed satisfaction with his game.
“I am happy I made a contribution and Patriots ended off with a win, but it was tough a competition from the start,” Rutherford commented.
He also shared his thought on batting at Providence, in familiar conditions.
“It is a tough track to bat on but I think it sinks into my head, I came out today under pressure, but I want to give me best,” Rutherford said.
Apart from Rutherford, off-spinner Kevin Sinclair was the other Guyanese on the Patriots list.
The talented Guyanese all-rounder thanked his fans for supporting him, especially in the tough times. He says that he appreciates the messages they sent him and that he loves them and will see them around.
