West Indies have won in Test cricket in Australia after 27 years. After this victory, even West Indies legend Brian Lara could not stop his tears. All the fans of West Indies were very happy with this victory of their team.

However, after the match was over, West Indies team captain Kraigg Brathwaite gave a befitting reply to former Australian fast bowler Rodney Hodge in his own way. Let us tell you, in the first Test match played at Adelaide Oval, Australia defeated West Indies by 10 wickets and after that Rodney Hodge had used very wrong words about West Indies. Not only this, he also compared the new team with the old West Indies team.

After the match, Brathwaite said that Rodney Hodge used some words for his teams which became his inspiration. Brathwaite said, ‘I want to say that there were two words that inspired us. Mr. Rodney Hodge called us ridiculous and disappointing. This is where it became an inspiration for us. We wanted to show the world that we are not like that.

After this, Brathwaite took out his clothes and said, ‘I want to ask him whether these muscles of mine are enough for him.’ Hearing this, the anchor who asked the question also started laughing. Brathwaite’s team answered not only Rodney Hodge but every critic.

After this match, many people are praising the West Indies team. Not only this, many people also praised Shamar Joseph a lot.

Let us tell you, after the end of the first Test match, Hogg had told 10 News, ‘Don’t beat around the bush. He performed very poorly in Adelaide. We should now have two divisions. We can’t let these weak teams come here. Mitchell Starc is going to hit the ground running with the new pink ball at the Gabba. So I don’t think the game will go beyond three days. West Indies team is pathetic.
