Mayor and Town Council of New Amsterdam extends congratulations for Shamar Joseph
Kaieteur Sports – A real dream come through for Joseph the Deliverer’ said Ian Bishop. His Worship Mayor Wainwright McIntosh, along with the Councilors and Staff of the New Amsterdam Town Council is extending congratulations to Mr Shamar Joseph, for his sterling performance in his Test series debut in Australia.
The fast bowling sensation claimed the remarkable figures of 7-68 in just his second Test to steer the West Indies to a gripping eight-run victory over Australia, the world’s number-one test team.
That performance followed up his debut 5-94 in his first test. He ended with 13 wickets in the two test series and collected the Man of the match in the second test and man of the series award.
Just over a year ago, Shamar Joseph worked as a Security Guard, in and around the town of New Amsterdam. He subsequently left that job to follow his dreams as a professional cricketer. His discipline and passion catapulted him overnight, to become a global sensation.
Joseph hails from the riverain community of Baracara, a village that was first occupied by Maroons, located some 65 miles up the Canje River. (Samuel Whyte)
