Emotional moment cricket legends break down in tears after watching West Indies claim historic win over Australia
Daily MailCarl Hooper and Brian Lara were unable to contain his joy on a day that will go down in West Indies cricketing history. Windies legend Hooper, 57, was at the Gabba as Shamar Joseph tore through Australia to help his nation claim a stunning victory on Sunday, beating Pat Cummins's world champions by eight runs. Carl Hooper broke down in tears following the West Indies' historic victory That the 24-year-old was on the field at all spoke volumes for his commitment and courage after Joseph had retired hurt and limped from the field on the third evening when he was smashed on his right big toe by Starc. Joseph was cleared of a fracture and did not take the field initially on the fourth morning despite warming up with the West Indies squad before play. His entry to the bowling crease changed the Test match, after taking five wickets on debut in Adelaide to announce himself as one of West Indies' brightest hopes in Test cricket.
