West Indies have finished the first day of their clash with the Prime Minister's XI in good form, taking late wickets to leave the hosts 9-297.
abc.net.au/news/west-indies-prime-ministers-xi-cricket-tour-match-day-1/101692112Patience was the key to the West Indies' late fightback against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra on Wednesday, according to paceman Alzarri Joseph.
The visitors were staring down the barrel of another disastrous day with the ball when the PM's XI were 0-134, but showed spirit to take six wickets in the evening session and finish the day at 9-297. Joseph took three of those final-session wickets, knocking over three batters with the new pink ball as his side finally showed some promise ahead of their Frank Worrell Trophy series against Australia.
"This is a game of patience," Joseph told reporters. "You could bowl well in this session but you have to stay patient and your reward might come at the end the game."You get your opportunity with a new ball. With the lights on, it takes a bit more effect and does a bit more. "The pink ball is pretty easy to bat [against] during the day, but when it gets down to, maybe, 7pm or 8pm, twilight starts to come in and the light starts taking effect. That's when you know the bowlers have a better chance."
