A glimmer of the golden era
Dear Editor,
Kudos to West Indian up-and-coming speedster Shamar Joseph for his unbelievably extraordinary performance to haul 7 wickets for 68 runs to register a dramatic 8-run Test win over mighty Australia on its soil after 27 years.
The most astonishing thing was that Joseph’s left thumb was badly injured and there was no chance of him playing again in the remaining game. However, according to him, the doctor, while treating him, told him to back his teammates firmly at that juncture. And that advice acted as a tonic, and the rest is history.
We Indian cricket lovers strongly believe that determined players like Joseph are able to bring back the golden days to West Indies cricket.
