Japan and Germany eliminated on the same day

Last time this happened was 1945

Kemar Roach was born stubborn.

At 5'8" he should have been a batter or maybe a spinner. In Caribbean, fast bowlers are supposed to look like they fell out of a coconut tree & kept growing. Roach just ran in faster than physics suggested he should.
In 2009, when senior players went on strike. West Indies had to pick a 2nd string side against Bangladesh with 9 debutants. Roach took 13 wickets in 2 matches. When big names came back, he was the only one they kept.

Then came WACA, December 2009. He hit Ricky Ponting in ribs,then elbow. almost 150 kmph. Ponting's forearm went into spasm. He could not hold the bat. He walked off the field, embarrassed, for first time in a long career. Roach dismissed him in 2nd innings immediately. He got Ponting out 5 times in 6 Tests.

But speed kills the bowler too. By 2013 his shoulder was gone. Surgery in Jamaica.then car crash. Rain on a Bridgetown road & his BMW flipped multiple times. He walked away with a cut on his head. his shoulder though never came back the same. In Australia 2015 he took no wickets in 3 Tests. Dropped & forgktten. His pace had dropped from 88 miles per hour to 80. At that speed, at that height, you are supposed to disappear.

Instead he rebuilt everything. His action, angle, his mind. He became a seam surgeon. Round the wicket to left handers. A front leg brace. Late swing. Since 2018 he has taken 153 wickets at 24.34 average & 48.9 strike rate. Only Bumrah, Cummins & Rabada have taken more wickets than him with better average & strike rate. Mind You, Roach turned 30 years in 2018 itself.

In 2021 Surrey signed him. He took 97 wickets for them. Surrey won 3 consecutive County Championships.
West Indies dropped him again in 2025. Director of cricket wanted youth. Then injury crisis in New Zealand & they called him back. He batted for 233 balls for 58* in almost 5 hours to save a Test.

Then yesterday at Antigua, he bowled Asitha Fernando & became first West Indian to 300 Test wickets since Curtly Ambrose in 1997. 29 years between them. His teammates mobbed him. A shirt with 300 on the back.

West Indies cricket is supposed to be about pairs & quartets. Walsh-Ambrose & Marshall-Holding. Roach did it alone. 161 Test innings & 2590 overs without anyone truly sharing the load. And still he got there.

New Zealand have quietly become the trendsetters in Test cricket having now comprehensively won away series against two countries most difficult to beat at home. The best part is they’ll neither talk about setting trends nor about revolutionising Test cricket

OMG this burn. The stage, the moment, the context. Might be the best ever 🙌🏽😂

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded:

“Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.

We have to hate it but admit it. The Aussies definitely beat us at the comedy if not cricket.

Journalists asked tough questions of Manmohan Singh, they spoke truth to power, they grilled him at press conferences, they published damning investigations, prime time debates. But he was not a petty, vindictive man who unleashed the agencies on those who criticised him.

No one is more brave right now than the marketing team running this campaign today 🙌🏽
