ENG vs WI:🍬 West Indies’ legends shower praises 𒆙for Jason Holder & Co.’s heroic win in Southampton Test
Looking at West Indies’ record in Test✤ cricket against England in the last three years, it is fair to say that the ‘Maroon Caps’ have had the wood over the ‘Threꦐe Lions’.
During the Southampton Test, West Indies co🎃ntinued their excellent record against England, with their thumping four-wicket win over the hosts.
Chasing 200 in the fourth innings is always♋ tricky, with the side capitulating several times under pressure.
The visitors were looking down the barrel at one point in time when r�🐼�educed to 27/3, and John Campbell retired hurt.
However, it was Jermaine Blackw🥂ood who turned out to be the hero of the day. Blackwood shepherded his team almost across the finishing line, with a fine knock of 95.
As soon as the winning runs were hit, the West In🌠dies team was showered with praises from their legends.
The likes of Viv Richards, Courtney Walsh, Ian Bishop, Brian Lara and Dwayne Bravo lauded Jason Holder and Co. for their outstanding performance.
“First game after the break belongs to us! Some gritty perfor✤mance from the lads. This team deserves the win in this game. Congratulations boys. You make us proud,” Sir Viv Richards tweeted.
