Shamar Joseph's family celebrate famous 7/68 v Australia.

Days after Shamar Joseph sent Josh Hazlewood’s off stump flying at the Gabba, music is still reverberating around the tiny Guyanese village of Baracara as his parents and locals express their joy and pride in the young fast bowler. #breakingnews #sports #cricket #brianlara #news #video #australia #world #youtube #subscribe Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smh Subscribe to our journalism: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ https://subscribe.theage.com.au/ Listen to our podcasts: https://podcasts.smh.com.au/ https://podcasts.theage.com.au/

I doesn’t have words to express my joy over the situation. I am proud of him because he made the entire community so proud. I'm so happy as a mother to tell the world how I'm proud about him. He is doing so much for the West Indies team and I'm happy for him. Mummy's proud of you.

This was a career making result. He is the focal point for the future of the West Indies cricket ecosystem. He deserves all the cudos and credit for his excellent work. Hopefully many others in the West Indies can learn from and follow his example. He put in the work to chase his ambition so he earned the results. Cricket needs a resurgence of the the West Indies cricket team. I am an Australian in Sydney and although the result was not desired by Australia everyone hopes this will continue. His mum is obviously full of pride. Now on with building the future of West Indies cricket.
