Ian Bishop and David Lloyd were the two commentators who were sitting behind the mic when the historical final over of the World t20 was bowled. West Indies were 19 runs shorts and they had 6 balls to get to these runs.
Stokes was bowling for England while Carlos Brathwaite had the bat in his hands with Marlon Samuels; the man for the big moments was standing at the running end. West Indies won the game in the first four balls as Brathwaite hit 4 sixes on first four balls.
Bishop was commentating most of the time in that over. Lloyd was keener on giving the former West Indian most of the talk time so that the former West Indian enjoys what he was witnessing. Two screens were placed in front of Bishop and Lloyd giving them the live feed on the game as well as all the stats were also present in front of them.
It was a memorable night for all the West Indians and to those as well who were supporting the West Indies from all over the globe. Ian Bishop mentioned that West Indies has a huge fan club in this part of the world.
This is true as both Pakistan and Indian fans have mentioned them as their second favorite side after their national teams. This is the same reason that when India lost to West Indies in the semifinals there was not much bashing done to the Indian team by the media and local public. They were happy that they lost to West Indies and, as a result, West Indies became the new favorites for the Indian fans.
