I woke up this morning still grinning from ear to ear.
I’m overjoyed, overwhelmed – just really happy – with our victory (in four days, might I add) over South Africa last Saturday in Port Elizabeth. It has been a long time coming and it was sweet – especially being the underdogs.

West Indies vice captain Dwayne Bravo said the team is still in control of the first Test match against South Africa despite a batting hiccup on the evening of the third day at the Sahara Oval, St Georges.
Speaking after play ended on Friday, Bravo noted that the Windies have an overall lead of 359 runs and the Proteas would have to bat really well to reach that target.

The watchwords for the West Indies team over the next day or two will be “consistency” and “complacency” – they need a lot of the first and little or none of the latter.
Without a doubt, the Windies are firmly in the driver’s seat after two days of the first Test match against South Africa which began on Boxing Day in Port Elizabeth. It’s hardly a position which most fans – c’mon be honest – expected us to be in but the guys have gotten there by dint of disciplined batting and bowling and by being patient...over after over after over.
