West Indies' bowlers, led by Jason Holder and Ashley Nurse, defended 227 on a deteriorating Harare pitch to register a bonus-point win, their first against Sri Lanka at a neutral venue since 1999. West Indies may not have had as much had it not been for enterprising cameos from Jonathan Carter and debutant Rovman Powell.

Holder set the tone with a sensational opening spell of swing bowling in which he picked up two wickets and conceded 12 in five overs. He had Dhananjaya de Silva caught behind off an inside edge and drew Kusal Mendis forward with a full delivery that swung away late and took the outside edge. Nurse took a reverse-cupped catch in front of his face at second slip. In between, Johnson Charles effected an agile run-out of Kusal Perera, hitting the stumps directly from square leg.

Holder is a new ball bowler. In tests he should get new ball. In ODI and T20 he needs to bowl all of his overs on the trot.

That was generally how he bowled in the CPL when Bim won.

You go Jason-use that height to effect. You do not have to be fast . From your height hit the deck hard -you are coming from 10 feet in the air with extended arm and delivery stride/jump -hit it hard and let it fly. Deliver with arm straight and close to your ear--shoulder pointing straight down and you will get the out swinger. Shift your shoulder inwards towards the on-side and you will get the ball to jag back. Take it from a pro-Been there done that !
