'I need more 100s' - Blackwood looking to build on good run of form

Mon, Dec 28, '20

West Indies batsman, Jermaine Blackwood, is looking to build on his current run of good form and identified performing at a consistently high level for the regional team as his next target.

The 29-year-old Blackwood was one of the few bright spots for the Windies on a dismal tour of New Zealand that was capped off by massive innings defeats in a two-Test series.

Blackwood, however, managed to do something the majority of his teammates could not and that is score runs.  The Jamaica-born batsman crafted a determined 104 in the first innings, of the first match, forming a valuable partnership down the order with bowler Alzarri Joseph.  In the second Test, he scored 69, a high score for the second-match batting line-up.

While acknowledging the achievement, the batsman has insisted there is plenty of hard work to be done.

“I did well but it wasn’t enough, because we still lost the two-Test games.  So, I think going forward I need to do better so I can actually win some games for my team,” Blackwood told the Mason and Guest radio program.
