What a thrilling moment for West Indies cricket! Shamar Joseph's performance with a broken toe is truly remarkable. His 7 wickets (out of 8 that fell today) helps West Indies breaking the 27-year non winning streak (last was Perth 1996) in Australia is a historic feat. The echoes of Anil Kumble and Malcom Marshall making with an injury make it even more special. This is his 2nd test for this 24 year old Guyanese... (Wonder who was famous Guyana Fast Bowler Prior?? Colin Croft! of course?).
West Indies' bowling prowess, always a menace, showed its impact with the recent incidents against Khwaja blood spitting last week, a magic sight in test cricket, and Travis Head today a golden pair after 23 years (Adam Gilchrist at Calcutta in 2001!) – quite a moment! The Test batting worked, making it a memorable, however it may be a flash in the pan as with disappointments in the past.
Vintage Test cricket at its best, and the reminiscence of the 1993 West Indies win at Adelaide adds a nostalgic touch. The 8-run victory today, reminiscent of that nail-biter in 1993,Australia Day victory, brings back those intense memories. Truly a celebration for West Indies cricket fans! He joins Gomez, Roberts, Ambrose in a match winning 7-Fer vs Australia.
Cheers to these moments that make cricket unforgettable! 🏏🌟
