ENG vs WI: West Indies’ legends shower praises for Jason Hold🅘er & Co.’s heroic win i🍒n 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 ‘Three Lions’.
During the Southampton Test, West 𒈔Indies continued their excellent record against England, with their thumping four-wickeꦉt win over the hosts.
Chasing 200 in the fourth innings is always tricky, with the side capitula🌄ting several times under pressure.
The visitors were lookin꧋g down the barrel at o💙ne point in time when reduced to 27/3, and John Campbell retired hurt.
However𓂃, it was Jermaine Blackwood 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 Indies team was showered with pr🅺aises 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 aft💟er the break belongs to us! Some gritty performance from the lads. This team deserves the win in this game. Congratulations boys. You make us proud,” Sir Viv Richards tweeted.
