Rising West Indies bowling star Shamar Joseph bagged two awards at the 18th ESPNcricinfo Awards.
Joseph’s breathtaking 7 for 68 in Brisbane to deliver West Indies a first test win in Australia in 27 years, was the runaway winner for best test bowling performance of the year in a stacked men’s bowling field.
Such was Joseph’s performance it also won his test debutant of the year.
The test defeat in Brisbane was just one of only two suffered by Australia in all of 2024.
The men’s Test batting performance award went to Ollie Pope for his sweeping masterclass in Hyderabad to hand India what was – at the time – a rare home defeat.
