Speaking of wicketkeepers...I did say Roach will get one to hold the line and take the edge. Great diving catch from young da Silva, who keeps improving his keeping skills everytime I see him.

Oh, also great to see Jeff Dujon back on commentary. We both share an intense love of crossword puzzles, plus he was one of the first to define a wicketkeeper-batsman. But like I've said before, Duj once said (paraphrased) "When you've got Greenidge, Haynes, Viv, Lloyd, Richie coming before...

Roach striking in the very first over, getting some excellent movement in off the seam. But he's an experienced enough bowler to get the ball to just hold its line too. That will bring the edge into play. I'm not sure I would have dropped Warrican for Joseph. Yes, I like Joseph and yes...

Yasir was dropped for Nauman. Also, Ali just got out.

I can barely run my own Draft these days, I really don't think I'll be able to reliably participate in this one. But great idea. I'll be looking on from the sidelines.

MY first cricket game was Cricket 2000. Loved Gower and Benaud. But once I realised that you can pick a spinner and let the ball basically bounce and roll onto the stumps, it became so easy. Fun fact: Cricket 2000's music could actually be played on a CD player if you put it into one. EDIT: It...

Makes sense. Enjoy your holiday. EDIT: Nannes, Mendis, Russel, Pooran, yeah, those are some amazing picks from you for them.

Yeah, sorry about that. Will finish off my team probably tomorrow.

Turns out that they had actually posted the interview a few months ago. They played this video during the lunch interval yesterday. Little did they know what foreshadowing it was. A great, heartwarming interview it was too.

That interview with Roach during the lunch period has just become so much more important. As soon as the Windies Cricket YouTube channel puts it up I'll link to it. What a match. Pakistan to win this one totally. But for a couple of stubborn WI bowlers. Not even batsmen. I've been told to shut...

Yeah, he actually did say that in his post-match interview. In the same interview he called this his best innings ever of his career. At a time when he needed to bat big, he came up big. Roach, you absolute champion.

Kemar Roach has said that this is his best ever batting performance, and I think that's very true. What Roach did with the rest of the bowlers was something amazing,

I said I would not celebrate, so boo. But what a Test match,

Say a very tiny few words for Ian Bishop, one of the better commentators in world cricket, and always seems to be present for our most important moments. When Lara made 400, he was there. When Carlos was there to "remember the name" he was there...he's been there for us for such a long time. And...

Kemar Roach guys, with bat, with ball...just his ability to be one of our senior players and lead by example. Thriller of a match here.

Test cricket, you're alive and well in 2021.

And in typical West Indian fashion, Roach blocks. 1629063208 My flying motherflicking fishing...what the hell of a Game have I just seen?

TWO MORE!

F*ck guys, I need the laptop. Not my phone. Brb.

7 more. 7. I am feeling this right now. 1629062866 6. And I'm not sure that these two are going to try for the big hit, 6 more.
