West Indies captain Jason Holder believes his pacemen can help the "huge underdogs" make life uncomfortable for England during their upcoming Test series. The first of a three-match campaign starts at Edgbaston today with the inaugural day/night Test in England.
"I think our bowling has really carried us throughout the last few Test matches," said Holder. "Shannon Gabriel has had a pretty decent year; I haven't been doing too badly, and we've got young Alzarri Joseph and Miguel Cummins. Kemar Roach is actually showing some very, very good form, so I'm really confident in our bowling."
Gabriel took 15 wickets at 18.8 during a recent home Test series against Pakistan, with Joseph's 10 wickets costing 28.4 apiece. But WI still suffered a 2-1 reverse in a three-match contest - their sixth straight Test series loss.
