It was one of the horrible days for the bowlers on Day 3 of the Test match at Barbados between Windies and England. After seeing dramatic collapses in an initial couple of days in the Test match, the third day of the game hasn’t seen a single wicket being taken by the bowlers with almost over 300 runs being scored. Jason Holder was the chief run-scorer with a double century to his name. Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin takes his time to hail Windies star.

Jason Holder has been one of the consistent performers for Windies over the years. He is one of the few to be committed to Windies cricket rather than making money out of playing for the franchises across the globe. Meanwhile, his double century speaks volumes of his character.
