The fact that two pacers shared the player of the series trophy following the two-match Test series between West Indies and Bangladesh ended in a 1-1 draw shows how much pace dominated the proceedings in Antigua and Jamaica.

Taskin Ahmed, the pace spearhead for Bangladesh, took 11 wickets while West Indies' pace sensation Jayden Seales grabbed 10 wickets across two Tests as an exciting Test series between the eighth and ninth-ranked Test teams concluded on the fourth day of the second Test.

It was not just Taskin or Seales who shone, there were contributions from all the pacers on both sides, and those contributions were not always confined within dishing out fast and short-pitched deliveries, but also spilled over to verbal aggression from both sides.

The second Test match in Jamaica, in particular, saw a lot of on-your-face stuff from the West Indies pacers, especially from Seales. There were a lot of chatters from behind and around the stumps when Bangladesh batters were at the crease. Even substitute fielder Kevin Sinclair joined in on the aggression for whatever time he was on the pitch, warranting the field umpires having a word or two of caution.

Speaking to the broadcasters after the match, which West Indies lost by 101 runs, Seales said: "Test cricket is tough, always want to have fun with it. Any way I can have fun, be it banter and being aggressive. 

The 23-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago, who has had an impressive start to his Test career with 72 wickets in 16 matches, further added:

"I have always watched Test cricket from a young age and have seen a fast bowler being aggressive and unfazed no matter what. I have drawn inspiration from that."

Taskin, meanwhile, is not the same character as Seales. He usually lets his aggression speak through his bowling, hardly ever with words. 

Unlike Seales, Taskin has had a difficult journey in Test cricket, with injuries rendering him out of the game for long spells. Now an all-format pacer the Tigers, Taskin said he was happy to get the trophy after having battled injuries.

"Really happy for this. Wasn't easy to come back in Test cricket again. Had a bad shoulder. Have worked really hard for this, and hopefully many more to come," Taskin said.

The 29-year-old, who has only played 17 Tests for his country despite making his debut seven years ago, said he liked the aggression from both sides during this entertaining Test match.: "Outside the game we all are friends. So we enjoyed the banter."
