Funny how ....

... that last run is always the hardest (and most fun) to score.

Roach Steps On Kiwis

It was easy for Kemar, he just kept putting his best foot forward.

Cut And Thrust

While both sides were a bit scratchy in parts the Lords Test saw both sides giving it plenty of "try". It sets up the rest of the series with some interesting questions, an improvement on the processions that some early season  series have been in recent years.

No Rain Dance

The Kemar Calypso is in full swing in this one. A great pity it all led to rain and the prospect of all that excitement ending to a draw.

Bang.Bang.Bang.

Kemar Roach takes them down. Not content with three wickets with three balls he added another three victims to pad his figures. Thank heaven he was only armed with deadly fingers and an attitude.

Let's Dance

While it was all a bit late and futile you do have to welcome a bit of Windies aggression from a fast bowler.

Probably wasted on the Evil Penguin as he has seen a lot more threatening in his time.

The Camera Does Lie

You wouldn't know it from this image but Kemar Raoch is one of the smoothest, balanced and self contained fast bowlers going around.

I look forward to watching him on a green seamer - just so long as he keeps his head up.

A Test Is A Test

Try and tell Kemar Roach that his six wicket bag is part of a footnote in test history!

One lesson administrators and players seem to never learn, is to let the old, the tired and the greedy go. There is always another generation.
