On the third day of a closely fought Test match in Trinidad, West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves found, at 32 and in his 17th appearance at the highest level, the kind of spell that careers are quietly measured by. After an unrewarding morning at the crease, he returned to bowl five consecutive maiden overs, taking five wickets without conceding a run — a feat that dismantled Pakistan's innings and reminded us that patience, in cricket as in life, is itself a form of mastery. The moment belonged not to youth or flash, but to a man who had simply kept showing up.
