While Patience is a virtue that resonates with Test cricket, the new era demands an attacking mindset for progression. Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith personified England’s att🥀acking brand of cricket by slamming a huge six against 🃏Alzarri Joseph as England and West Indies squared off at Edgbaston.

Following an early couple of wickets on the morning session of the second day, a 115-run sixth wicket stand between Joe Root and Ben Stokes stabilized the stage for the home side before the skipper fell prey to Joseph’s bumper. Tasting success, the lanky pacer continued the same approach against new batter Jamie, only to get punished by the youngster. 

After a lucky four off a short ball on the fifth ball of the 38th over, Joseph persisted with the plan and dished the length short in the next delivery. However, Jamie was prepared for it and rolled his arms over the line, connecting the ball off the bat’s sweet spot to sail it ꦓmiles away from the boundary ropes. Soon, the camera caught skipper Ben Stokes’ attention from the dressing room, who pointed towards the ball’s direction 🍸in awe. In no time, the Twitterverse drew labels of Jamie as the new poster boy of Bazball.
