ENG vs WI: West Indies’ legends shower praises for Jason Holder & Co.’s heroic win ꦦin Southampton Test
Looking at West Indies’ record in Test cricket against England in the last three year🦄s, it is fair to say that the ‘Maroon Caps’ have had the wood over the ‘Three Lions’.
During the Southampton Test, West Indies continued their excellent record again♛st England, with their thum⛎ping 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 reduced to 27/3, and Joh𒅌n Campbell retired hurt.
However, it was Jermaine Blackwood who turned out to be the hero of the day. Blackwood shepherded his team almost across the finis🍸hing line, with a fine knock of 95.
As soon as the winning runs were hit, the West Indies 🅰team was showered wit🔯h 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 p꧒erformance from the lads. This te🦹am deserves the win in this game. Congratulations boys. You make us proud,” Sir Viv Richards tweeted.
