ENG vs WI: West Indies🌳’ legends shower praises for 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’ 𒈔have had the wood over the ‘Three Lions’.
During the Southampton Test, West Indies continued thei♐r excellent record against England, with their thumping four-wicket win over the hosts.
Chasing 2�❀�00 in the fourth innings is always tricky, with the side capitulating several times under pressure.
The visitors we💙re looking down the barrel at one point in time when reduced to 27/3, and John Campb💟ell retired hurt.
However, it was Jermaine Blackwood who turned out to be the hero of the day. ♔Blackwo♈od 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 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 performance from the lads. This team deserves the win in this game. Congratulations🎀 boys. You make us proud,” Sir 👍Viv Richards tweeted.
