PM Skerrit also extends his best wishes to another West Indies Cricketer  Alick Athanzea. In a second test match  Alick Athanzea also made his maiden half-century against England. Both players from Dominica played well. However  Hodge’s partner, Alick Athanzea, could not complete his century. He was out at a personal score of 82.

 

On the other hand while speaking about his success  Hodge noted that “it is always a wonderful experience when a dream comes true. It always matters greatly when you want to achieve something high  and century against English is one of the highest thing.”

The match provided a captivating experience for the audience. The encounter between Hodge and Mark Wood of England was the awe-inspiring moment of the match. The ball  once hit Alick Athanzea’s helmet  and everyone was shocked to see this incident.

So Amazing!!! Congratulations on your brilliant maiden century and Athanaze’s excellent knock of 82!!!! Dominica is proud of both of you!!!! Keep on shining!!!”
