WI vs SA, 2nd Test: West Indies star pacer Shamar Jospeh finally reacted after taking a fifer in the second Test match against South Africa and admitted that it was really special for him to achieve this feat at the Providence stadium in Guyana. Joseph also talked about his brilliant performances against South Africa and how he pushed himself to get the result the team needed.
Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to bat first, where both openers Tony de Zorzi and Aiden Markram failed to perform as Jayden Seales and Shamar Jospeh dismissed them cheaply. Bedingham (28) also failed to score big as Joseph took a stunning catch in Joshua Da Silva's over. Shamar then dismissed Keshav Maharaj and Kyle Verryne (21) and thus took his third fifer.
During an interaction at the innings break, Shamar Jospeh emphasized his performance and also talked about his mindset.

"I think it's a great feeling, especially at home. Taking another five-wicket haul is a great feeling for me. To be fair I haven't played many games at Providence. But I just did what the team needed and what I was supposed to bowl," Jospeph told broadcasters.

"It's a great feeling, with mom, dad and siblings here. I think Jason Holder will bowl very well tomorrow and then Jomel Warrican and myself. It's all about the support. Going out there and supporting the senior batsman Jason," he added.
