#2 Holder bounces out Pakistan
Trending
One of the most common sights during the late 70s and early 80s was a West Indies pacer subjecting hapless opposition batsmen to a barrage of short-pitched stuff. As their fast bowling stocks began to wither away since the late 90s, their unbridled dominance over world cricket also continued to diminish.
On a pitch which did not have anything for the seamers apart from a semblance of reverse, skipper Jason Holder turned back the clock with a nostalgia-inducing spell.
Under-fire for his seemingly inadequate leadership skills, the 24-year old responded by leading from the front and literally pushing the Pakistani batsmen on the back foot. Possessing awkward height, which allows him to generate extra bounce, the right-armer ripped apart the top-order with a game-changing effort before cleaning up the tail and earning a maiden five-wicket haul.
