Windies star batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan believes the sky is now the limit for teenaged prodigy Chris Douglas.

The 18-year old Bermuda all-rounder stood out with the bat among his peers in Toronto earlier this week, stroking back-to-back half- centuries to launch his debut at this level in style.

Douglas opened his ODI account with a top knock of 69 in a losing cause against hosts Canada at King City on Monday and two days later hit another classy 53 against Test side West Indies.

It was a stroke of genius that drew rave reviews from one of the best in the business.

"Generally I thought he played very well and was very patient which is a good sign to see and hopefully he can go onto to do better things for Bermuda," Sarwan told The Royal Gazette.

Douglas again batted with a maturity belying his tender years and kept his composure while wickets tumbled around him.

He hit six boundaries off 105 balls and brought up his second half-century in the 35th over off 98 balls in 82 minutes with a punch in the covers.

"I thought he picked the bowlers and waited on the right balls to hit where he knew he was strong," Sarwan added. Irving Romaine, the Bermuda captained, also heaped praise on young Douglas - son of former Cleveland County batsman Steven Douglas.

"Once again I thought Dundee (Douglas) handled himself well. His temperament is definitely showing with the senior team," he said.

In total, the Warwick cricketer amassed 122 runs in two visits to the crease and topped the Bermuda batting averages at a healthy 61 runs per innings.

Earlier this year Douglas represented Bermuda at the Under 19 World Cup in Malaysia and made his debut in Cup Match for challengers Somerset.

Meanwhile, skipper Romaine had good reason to celebrate despite his team's shortcomings in Toronto this week after wife Daniella gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.

News of Romaine's son's birth arrived just hours after Bermuda went down by 25 runs in a thriller against Canada.

"The baby wasn't due until later this month and so I thought I would make it home in time, but obviously I didn't," Romaine smiled.

"During the match (against Canada) I had one eye on the game and the other on what was going on back home. I got the good news just before midnight (on Monday) and after that we had a quiet celebration in the hotel room."
