	The Jamaica Star :: Sport :: How Windies' tail wagged! :: June 8, 2006
		AN INJURED FIDEL Edwards has revealed that his heroic last wicket partnership with fellow fast bowler Corey Collymore that helped West Indies save the first Test against India on Tuesday, was due to a combination of self-confidence, advice from his runner Daren Ganga and chanting by a tense crowd.
		Edwards recalled that Tuesday's epic finish was similar to a situation he also faced against Zimbabwe in November 2003 when he and Ridley Jacobs held on for the last 11.5 overs to earn West Indies a draw at Harare, as they finished on 207 for nine after being set 373 to win.
		Edwards bowled impressively in the first innings but was a victim of a couple dropped catches as he ended with two for 53 off 18.5 overs.

		Fidel Edwards relaxing in the nets at the 3Ws Oval yesterday.
		With his slinging, round-arm action, Edwards unsettled openers Jamie How and Nathan Astle at the start when an edge from How flew through a vacant third slip, a gloved pull by Astle just eluded keeper Denesh Ramdin and a choked hook by Astle flew over Ramdin to the boundary off the top edge.
		In the absence through injury of his brother, the left-arm swinger Pedro Collins and the worthy Corey Collymore, the other Bajan in the trio from the northern village of Boscobel, Edwards is the spearhead of the attack on this tour.

		Fidel Edwards has set his sight on becoming the first West Indies bowler to smash the 100mph barrier and admitted he likes nothing better than spying fear in a batsman's eyes.
		In an interview with The Wisden Cricketer magazine, Edwards revealed his desire to emulate Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee, the only two bowlers to have had deliveries officially recorded at more than 100 mph (160kph).
		The sight of Edwards laughing after hitting a batsman has led to him being dubbed "The Smiling Assassin," and he admitted: "Mostly I like running in and seeing the fear in the batsman's eyes and knowing they are intimidated."

		While I believe Fidel Edwards deserves another chance, it was obvious that he was recalled long before the final squad was announced.
		Now Edwards only bowled 10 overs, did not take any wickets, and he was considered a bright spot and promptly selected.
		Mohammed may not be considered a top class spinner, but we certainly can’t say Edwards is a top class bowler either, especially with 15 tests and 39 wickets at 46.94 each.

	Edwards returns to halt England's progress
		Mark Butcher's plucky vigil was ended in the 20 balls possible in the evening session as Fidel Edwards struck for the third time to leave England on 154-3 in reply to the West Indies' first innings 311.
		In that time Butcher slashed Edwards high to Brian Lara's right at first slip, and in dropping the chance the West Indies captain dislocated a finger, forcing him off the field and away to hospital for a precautionary scan.
		It mattered little as far as the scorecard was concerned as Butcher repeated his error within the over, and this time 'keeper Ridley Jacobs made no mistake to deny the Surrey left-hander the big score he's always coveted on the island that was once home to his maternal grandparents.

		For 20 nerve-jangling minutes, Fidel Edwards, courageously battling with a hamstring injury, and Corey Collymore, not the most acclaimed of No. 11s, tenaciously survived the last 3.1 overs at the Antigua Recreation Ground.
		As Edwards, accompanied by runner Daren Ganga, who would play as crucial part in marshalling the boys from Boscobel, came out to bat, India had another 9.4 overs to complete a remarkable victory and were on the way when they removed Dave Mohammed for an aggressive half-century.
		With steely resolve, Edwards and Collymore admirably defended, but there were more than a handful of moments when West Indian supporters missed a couple of heartbeats.
