England bowler Chris Jordan stars on the return to his birthplace Barbados to help his team into the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
When Chris Jordan left his post-match news conference after England's dominant victory over the United States, he did so with his hand grasped tightly around a small cardboard box.
He bowled Ali Khan with a delivery that sent off stump cartwheeling, trapped Nosthush Kenjige lbw before Saurabh Netravalkar was knocked over as he backed away towards the stands where Jordan used to sit, such was the ferocity."My family actually doesn't get to travel the world and watch me play a lot of international cricket," Jordan said.The list of Jordans in the stands was not small. There was mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law and nephew to name a few.
Some might have expected to hear resentment from the locals, disappointment at their decision to move away from West Indies and instead play for England - but instead they have been cheered at every turn. Another contemporary of Jordan and Archer's was Aaron Jones, who captained the United States on Sunday. Jones was born in New York to Bajan parents, but grew up on the streets and beaches of Barbados."You never thought you'd be on the world stage playing cricket together and against each other. It is really special."
