It’s a great feeling to pick five wickets: Roston Chase

In a Test series that has been setback after setback for the West Indies, 24-year old youngster Roston Chase has been one of the players who has found his rhythm in the ongoing Test match at Sabina Park. Moreover, the fact that Chase picked up his first ever Test match five-wicket haul has seen the West Indies all-rounder almost cement his place in the squad.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, Chase stated that it was perhaps the best feeling he had ever felt in Test cricket.

“It is a great feeling to get five wickets in any match, but at Test level, it is a great feeling for me. I have just started my Test career and it is a great confidence boost for me that I can do it at this level, so this is a great feeling for me.”

“Yes, it was hard for me. It’s Test cricket, so you are never taught that it would be easy, but the first game I found out that my line was a bit too wide. So I adjusted my line and length in this match and the skipper told me to do that, to attack the batsmen more and hold a tighter length and it worked for me.”

“As I said I am mainly a batsman, but earlier in our local first-class season (I bowled a bit as well). I wasn’t bowling a lot earlier on but some of our players left for West Indies duty, so that’s when I got an opportunity to express myself as a bowler, so I am a bit accustomed to bowling now.”
