Anderson Phillip has been consistent for Trinidad
Trinidadian seamer Anderson Phillip has spent years building his reputation the hard way, through discipline, consistency and results. Before Wednesday, his Trinidad & Tobago Red Force were on the brink of regional glory, having enjoyed one of the finest seasons of his career.
On May 20 his beloved Trinidad & Tobago Red Force went for the West Indies Championship title against defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles. The Trinis haven’t won the title for 20 years.
Phillip, 29, entered the final as the tournament’s leading fast bowler with 21 wickets at an average of 17.95, including a five-wicket haul. Yet amid the excitement of spearheading a pace attack alongside Jayden Seales, Phillip credits simple principles and discipline for the transformation in his performances this season.
“I wouldn’t say I did anything differently,” he said. “It’s just about maintaining my training and physical fitness as well. I have been bowling well for a long period of time so, it’s just about continuing that and keep putting in the work and that’s why the results are starting to show now.”
While Trinidad & Tobago Red Force managed to take all 20 wickets against Barbados Pride at Coolidge Cricket Ground, the pacer credited the diversity and balance within the bowling attack as the foundation of the team’s success.
“Bowling with Jayden is just all the motivation you need because we bowl together as a pair and we enjoy it.” Phillip explained.
