Roach's per­for­mance was vi­tal in re­viv­ing a West In­dies team which des­per­ate­ly need­ed to win to get its cam­paign back on track af­ter a heavy loss to South Africa and the blow of los­ing Bra­vo, its most in­flu­en­tial all­rounder. "It was great, it was bril­liant," Sam­my said of Roach's per­for­mance. "His role in this team is to be the strike bowler for us. It was im­por­tant that he went out and did it... Roachy came out and put his hand for­ward, do­ing what he had to do for the team." Roach was mean­while look­ing for­ward af­ter what he called his most mem­o­rable per­for­mance. "I still have a lot more work to do," he said. "I'll go for­ward stride by stride, and make things and his­to­ry for the West In­dies." (AP)
