ENG vs WI: Roach moves past Gary Sobers on Windies all-time list with 236th Test scalp

The Hindu  

Kemar Roach moved past Gary Sobers to become West Indies' seventh most prolific wicket-taker when he claimed the prized scalp of Joe Root during the second Test on his home ground in Barbados on Thursday. READ | Ashwin: Non-striker leaving the crease early is the actual unfair play It was Roach's 236th Test wicket, achieved in his 70th test, at a most respectable average of just over 27 runs per wicket. Still ahead of Roach are a quintet of West Indies' pace greats from previous generations, along with spinner Lance Gibbs. LEADING WEST INDIES WICKET-TAKERS: 519 - Courtney Walsh 405 - Curtly Ambrose 376 - Malcolm Marshall 309 - Lance Gibbs 259 - Joel Garner 249 - Michael Holding 236 - Kemar Roach 235 - Gary Sobers
