Jomel Warrican – Take a bow!
Best Test Bowling Figures of 7-32 🔥
Top Run in 1st Innings 👏
10 wickets in the game 💪# Print— ThePoppingCrease (@PoppingCreaseSA) January 19, 2025
On the third morning, Warrican adjusted his pace and changed course. He and the WI spinners were quick in the first innings compared to Sajid and Noman. However, this spell feels specially designed for this wicket.# Print

A misjudgment/bad umpire decision cost the Jomel Warriors to have the 3rd best men in West Indies history. He should settle for 12th, but what an effort by him. Rest could not sustain him.

So who would have believed that a West Indies spinner would destroy Pakistan on a Pakistan-made spin?
Take a bow, Jamel Warika.— Nimish Dubey (@nimishdubey) January 19, 2025
