After twenty seven years of heart-break, the West Indies team produced one of their most significant victories ever on not just Australian soil, but in the history of Test Cricket to draw the series 1-1. Surely in the early hours of Sunday January 28th 2024, Shamar Joseph would not have been even pondering being on the famous Gabba ground, yet alone bowling his team to what was a sensational win for the ages. After a toe-crushing yorker from Mitchell Starc the evening before, surely it was all but over for Shamar Joseph. Cricket is such a funny game.

It was a hard-fought series victory for the West Indies over the World’s number one ranked T20 team India. The series margin 3-2 in favor of the home team and it was a bit of fresh air for once. Captain Rovman Powell led from the front with his astute captaincy skills on the field. West Indies have now recorded back to back T20I series victories in the last 4 months. Perhaps this latest T20I series win can be the catalyst this young West Indies team needs going forward. After all, it has been a very disappointing last year or so having not qualified firstly for the 2022 T20 World Cup super 12 in Australia and more recently booted out of the 50 over World Cup taking place in India later this year.

The West Indies record in ODIs before this series was poor by anyone’s standards. Having won 11 out of their previous 40 ODI matches and coming up against a top-dog team like England who are ranked number 1 in this format, it was a tough task. It was beyond my imagination to think that the West Indies would have drawn the recently concluded ODI series 2-2 Continue reading “West Indies VS England 2-2 – Who would’ve thought?”
