After over 30 years West Indies finally beat Australia. Posters on the Board, have been watching hopelessly at the continued demise and spiraling decline of cricket as a sport in the region, after every defeat over the years. However, posters on this Board refused to let cricket in our region die, despite the many humiliation and embarrassment, fans still hang on to our victories of the past and continue to hope for a recovery and a glimpse of our cricket greats. Well die hard WI cricket fans are finally rewarded, even if it’s just for this Match, all West Indian can be proud. Congrats Posters, continue to keep hope alive.

you're welcome.

The Lambs defeat the Lions, this match up could be developed into an epic movie production.

I woke up drowsy 5 o'clock this morning. Still dark in New Jersey. I checked my phone to see how badly West Indies lost the 2nd test match against Australia. A recent software update on my phone automatically dimmed the screen for night mode. I could barely see the writing. It looked like a draw test, "Thank God, W.I. didn't lose."

Increasing the brightness, I was shocked. Perhaps still is in elated shock. "We won!"

Shamar Joseph scripted a fairy tale in the land of OZ. 7 wickets on an injured foot. He channeled the fighting spirit of the Maroons. Even the super-aggressive Aussies, appreciated his effort, to their credit.

This morning I woke up, no I rally. Rally around the West Indies.

Wonderful ending and hopefully this the start of a new West Indies journey!
