Shamar Joseph comments on his breathtaking spell –
After his amazing and match-winning spell on Sunday, Shamar Joseph was the talk of the town. On Saturday, it looked like the 24-year-old would not even bowl after getting injured while batting.
Speaking to the media at the end of the game, Shamar Joseph said “I wasn’t even coming out to the ground this morning to be fair. I must give a shout-out to the doctor. e is an amazing doctor to me. He told me to come to the ground for a reason, even if it’s just to support the guys.”
The right-arm pacer also said “But I came and he did something to my toe. I don’t know what he did but something worked. So I just had that time to go out there and bowl and bring this game home for my team.”
When asked about his injury this is what Joseph said “It was just our positivity. I am not that tired because I wanted to do this for my team. I told my skipper I would bowl to the end until the last wicket fell. It doesn’t matter how my toes are, I’m okay. I did it for him and I am happy that he is proud of me now.”
With the entire Caribbean islands celebrating, the West Indies found a new hero in Shamar Joseph. The youngster best summed it up by saying “I feel like we won the series. Even though it’s 1-1 I feel like we won the entire series. “I feel really amazing for my teammates. They are really encouraging and I am glad that I made them proud and brought the series to 1-1. Tears came to my eyes right now. I already cried during my five-wicket haul. It’s just happiness. That’s the emotion I can bring out right now. Just happy that we won the Test.”
