SA vs WI: "The Way World Cricket Is Going Now, Every Team Is Barely Playing Any Test Cricket..." - Jason Holder Concerned Over Test Cricket

West Indies Cricket Team had a terrible Day 2 where they got folded for 212 runs. The visitors 7 wickets for 43 runs and the batters fell like a pack of cards.  Jason Holder in the 1st innings had a toil where he took 1 wicket & gave away 64 runs. He perhaps was introduced quite late in the innings by skipper Kraigg Braithwaite.

Anrich Nortje was the wrecker in chief where he took a 5-wicket haul and gave away 36 runs in his 16 overs. Anrich Nortje bowled with some sheer pace and bowled immaculate lines & lengths. South Africa would be aiming to get the lead past 250 runs after being restricted to 49-4 in the 2nd innings where they have a lead of 179 runs.

Jason Holder on Test Cricket

Jason Holder was having an interaction with the media and made a statement on Test Cricket being played by West Indies

“The way world cricket is going now, apart from the big three, every team is barely playing any test cricket. We average six to eight test matches over the last three years. This year we’ve got six, next year around six. You have to be in the 11 for every single game to get anywhere close to 100 tests,” said Jason Holder.

“It just shows you the amount of cricket England plays in comparison to us, It’s beyond our control. We’ve just got to deal with what’s in front of us and try to make the most of it,” he added.

Anrich Nortje on Test Cricket

Anrich Nortje took a dig at the schedule where Proteas are set to play only 12 Test matches in the next 2 years.

“I probably will never get to 50 tests. That will take me another seven years. Some countries in the next few months they play 20 games. It’s hard,” said Anrich Nortje.

“You can’t compare what the greats have done in the past, they played a lot of test cricket. That’s the main format. We play four games, eight games or 10 games over two years,” he added.
