Tino Best all praises for fellow pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 – Cricket News Update
West Indian fast bowler Tino Best lauded the efforts of fellow pacer Kemar Roach, after the latter claimed four wickets during the first day of the team’s ongoing final Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, currently being played at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
“Kemar was excellent and just keeps getting better as a bowler for us,” Best said. “I'm pleased for him. In our team we enjoy each other's success and I was happy to support him today.”
Following their 9-wicket defeat at the hands of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 insisted that his team needed to apply themselves at the crease, and start converting starts into substantial scores. However, the team managed exactly the opposite during the second and final game, sorely troubled as they were by Roach.
The fiery 24-year-old pacer, who took 7 wickets during the previous Test in Antigua, claimed 4 for 70 on the first day in Kingston, playing a crucial role in triggering the collapse of the Kiwi batting order, which fell, all out, at 260 on the very first day of the Test match.
Roach began by dismissing opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 (18), mopping up the tail to restrict the Black Caps, all out, to 260 by the end of the day.
In addition to Roach’s performance, Best also claimed a vital 2 for 40, and the two pacers were assisted by spinners http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869 (1 for 66).
“To get 10 wickets on the first day is good; anyone would take that,” Best said, reflecting on the team’s performance on the first day. “We will look to build on the second day and push forward.”
The first day marks a promising start to the final match, which could spell the West Indies’ first Test series win against top-level opposition since 2009, if they manage to emerge triumphant in the final Test.
