Bumrah has to be the greatest cricketer to have played in the last 20 years. He has had at max 15 bad games for India.

Which is probably why we enjoyed SVSC more on TVs later on but in theatres we wanted to watch over the top cinema

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.

CEOs who say they will replace ppl with agents must be given a claude code and a p1 prod bug at 2 AM and post that experience they can say whatever they want

[Mohan Sinha 🇮🇳 @Mohansinha]

Call him a nepo kid or what you want, but in less than 7 years, this man has revolutionised women’s cricket. He has done more than all those great MCC and ICC officials who ran cricket for decades. Had he been an Englishman or an Australian, he would have been knighted for his services to cricket.

@shiva_seshasai ceeded cheppu anatleda bro

[Aaditya Narayan @AadityaN_28]

776 runs @ 235 SR. If RR don't finish this job tonight, it's already the single greatest season by an IPL batter ever. Fifteen years old.

[Vatsa @vatsa_av]

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi might be gaining the most organic fandom just based on batting capabilities across age groups. Last time this happened was with Sachin.

[Vatsa @vatsa_av]

That’s a tactical insane game btw. His fans will start abusing the other guy next time they play and he will ask the fans not to say anything to them. He’s actually so good with PR.

[Prashant crick addict🤘🏽🏏 @2_dost_1_pyali]

People might not agree, but Kohli uses his fandom as his defence mechanism,he wants to sledge but not get sledged back at..So he makes naveen/gambhir as examples so others should avoid doing it

Today everyone missed head sledge in live match,so he made sure everyone noticed it

[Vatsa @vatsa_av]

Dhoni wasn’t riled up after a loss either. But rutu doesn’t even point out where things went wrong and how they want to improve. His post match talks are proper ragebaits.

[Wickets Hitting @offpacedelivery]

"If i am made to feel like I need to prove my worth and value, I am not in that space"

What kind of statement even is this? You averaged under 30 over the last five years, and even then the team management did not drop you. They at least gave you clarity that now you need to score runs and prove yourself. which is the bare minimum in professional sport. And that upset you? Unreal Kohli sahab

[absy @absycric]

I get transported to this whenever I hear his commentary

[Ananya @TheCricBird]

Maybe in another lifetime, we'll get to witness MS behind the stumps again, gesturing to the bowler, shifting fielders by inches and the next ball landing exactly where he foresaw, pulling victory out of the impossible.

@hoeezier Bruh I would’ve put down my papers immediately
