West Indies captain Jason Holder said he had never lost belief in his side after they vindicated his faith with a stunning five-wicket win over England in the second Test at Headingley.
The West Indies will now head to Lord's for next week's third Test all square at 1-1 in the three-match series. "It feels really good, especially after the game in Edgbaston, it was a tough loss. A lot of teams would have crumbled coming back into the second Test match and probably would not have given England the fight that we gave them," Holder said yesterday.
"I said at the beginning of this Test match that I back these guys to rebound and there was no better way to do it," he added.
The aptly-named Hope, the first batsman to score two hundreds in both innings in 127 years of first-class cricket at Headingley, was proud to have played his part. "It was mainly about winning. Knowing how much the fellas really wanted this win, you could see the fight and belief in the dressing room on the faces of the guys," added Hope, the first Windies batsman since Gordon Greenidge at Old Trafford in 1976 to score hundreds in both innings of a Test in England.
