4 of Roach's wickets were catches by Imlach. Overall Imlach was responsible for 6 out of the 18 wickets taken by the West Indies.


He did better than a D. Let's give him a C+

I think you have to find a way to give Hodge a lower grade than everyone else.

Keep like Carey did against England in the last test match?

I am older than you and the only West Indian wicketkeeper who I have seen able to keep like Carey was Jackie Hendriks!!!!!!

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS

Correct/// Roach and the pack aren't quick enough to really dial-in on his keeping skills. Haven't seen him jumping and running around tekken incredible catches..

Imlach might deserve a B, his w/keeping was outstanding, many times he had to dive around to catch Layne and Shields wayward bowling, he took a brilliant leg-side catch off of Roach's bowling. His batting should come around, it is only his 4th Test

@Cricket_101

Pity grades only go up to F ....for contributing a grand total of 29 collectively over 2 inns towards the cause Athanaze,Campbell an Chase deserve nothing less than Z ... for literally Zero contribution!!!!
