WI! I just viewed a maiden over to bad bannah bonner, who was shitting in his butka! Roach looked fit as a fiddle as he was very pacy. I just hope he gets back to wi....d man who had RTP's number should be looked at again. Of course he should earn his spot.

Based on what I saw in the Super50 his pace was pedestrian. Far from his best and I always liked Roach.

Absolutely not. Look at his final few paces before his delivery stride. Do you notice the 'stutter' steps? That runnup still lacks an aggressive fluency to produce consistent pace.

Mike N voice, didnt u see how bad bannah bonner was struggling? Triple B is a good batsman sah. Anyway, i was impressed. He was fit, fast N accurate. Fact, what else ahyuh need? The man was world class N is making his way back. I just know if he maintains it, i can see him back in WI.

Roach is definitely not back to his best but compared to what he was when he started playing again he has come a long way. When I saw Roach after his return he looked slow, was doing nothing with the ball...it looked as if he couldn't buy a wicket. Now I see him producing better pace with some very quick deliveries and he looks fitter and far more enthusiastic. I praying he gets back at least close to his best.

Roached looked threatening in this match. Mister is improving, welcome back Keemar.. Perseverance always brings rewards.

Our best fast bowler since Walsh and Ambrose. So sad he suffered those shoulder injuries. Really set him back.

Yeah, agree with some that he lost pace and was bowling pedestrian in CPL. However, what was good for me is that Roach some years ago only had the leg cutter, which reaped great rewards. Now he still cuts it and can bowl genuine swing with the new ball. Once he gets back his pace I can see him doing well.

u are one of the few that knows Kemar, I value your opinion as we discussed him over the years, he was one youngster with serious pace.
I think he needs more time before he comes back to the international scene.

In reply to sunfish Well, i tried, didnt i?! Anyway, it should be conspicuous in WI bwoys' dressing room - like when u exiting, u shouldnt miss it.

Batting a second time with a deficit of 150, the Hurricanes innings lasted only 45 minutes after lunch as they were bowled out for 124. Man of the Match Kemar Roach destroyed the Hurricanes innings with the outstanding figures of four wickets for 18 runs from 16 overs.


Forty-five Minutes (45 Min) was all it took so send VOR team packing...

Yeah man, Roach is good. Just trundled up to the crease and bitted 90+ mph with ease. Anyways, Roach best days as a test bowler came when he hovered around 87-88 MPH and got the leg cutters working well.
