WI vs SA | 1st Test: Jayden Seales makes debut, receives maiden cap from Curtly Ambrose
Jayden Seales became the 326th player to represent West Indies Test cricket in their 93-year-old history of the red ball game. The young fast bowler was presented his baggy maroon by West Indian legend Sir Curtly Ambrose, just ahead of the start of the first Test between the hosts and South Africa at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. Seales, a U-19 star for the team from the Caribbean was fats tracked into Test cricket having played only a single First-Class game in which he took only one wicket. Supposedly very quick off the pitch, Seales is considered to be a great boost to the Windies fast bowling unit. In the four List A and six T20s, the 19-year-old has picked a combined of 12 wickets. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Seales was given a rousing cheer and applaud by his teammates after Ambrose’ welcome speech. Ambrose in his address to Seales said, “Congratulations on making it into the team. I want to remind you, you are not doing it for yourself, you are not doing it for your family and friends, but you are doing it for West Indies and its millions of supporters.” “Always give your 100% for the team. Wish you a long and prosperous career ahead.” As far as the game is concerned, the West Indian skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, after winning the toss, decided to bat first. At the time of writing this, the men in maroon were 10 without loss after six overs.
Curtly Ambrose backs Jasprit Bumrah to pick up 400 Test wickets but points out injury-prone action
One of the most lethal pacers to have ever played the game, West Indies pacer Curtly Ambrose has said that he is a big fan of Jasprit Bumrah and that the Indian speedster can go on to pick up 400 wickets in Tests if he remains fit and strong. Pointing out various points of strengths, Ambrose emphasized that the overall ability of Bumrah to swing the ball along with the ability to seam it and produce lethal yorkers make him superior to his other contemporaries. "India's got a few good fast bowlers. I'm a big fan of Jasprit Bumrah. He's so different than any bowler I have seen. He's so effective and I'm looking forward to him doing really well. He is as long as he can remain healthy, fit and play long enough. He can seam the ball, swing the ball and bowl great yorkers. He's got a lot in his arsenal. So as long as he can remain on the park for a long period of time, I'm sure he can get up there," Ambrose said on 'The Curtly & Karishma Show' on YouTube. Ambrose also explained why he put an if around Bumrah’s ability to pick up 400 wickets owing to fitness concerns. He said that the Indian pacer bowls with a very short run-up and also does not have a sprinting bowling action. He generates pace using his body which in turn puts a lot of fo strain on the body and hence it is imperative for him to maintain his fitness if he wants to go a long distance in Test cricket. “You know in terms of fast bowling, it's generally about rhythm. So, you need to build a good rhythm before you can deliver. Bumrah has got a very short run-up. He walks most of the way and maybe one or two or three little jogs before delivery. So, it simply means he may be putting a little more strain on his body but if he can remain strong enough, I think he'll be ok. It's just about him staying strong to accompany that short run-up. If he can do that, he'll go the distance,” Ambrose added. Jasprit Bumrah made his Test debut in 2018 against South Africa and has gone strength to strength to become the spearhead of the Indian bowling attack in the pace department.
