Kemar Roach: First West Indian into 200-wickets club since Curtly Ambrose
His percentage of top-three wickets is the highest among West Indians with over 150 scalps
1994 - The last time a West Indian got to the 200-wicket mark before Kemar Roach. Curtly Ambrose also got there against England, in Guyana. Since then, Fidel Edwards is the only bowler to have come closest to the 200-wicket club. Overall, Roach is the ninth West Indian to get to the landmark.
42 - Percentage of top-three batsmen Roach has dismissed, the highest among all 13 West Indians with over 150 wickets.
6 - The most times Roach has dismissed a single batsman in Tests (Jonny Bairstow). He has dismissed Ricky Ponting, Kane Williamson, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Mahmudullah five times. All the dismissals of Ponting came between November 2009 and April 2012 . No other bowler dismissed Ponting more times in this period.
26 - Matches Roach took to complete 100 wickets. He has taken slightly longer - 33 Tests - to complete the next 100. Since his return in August 2017, he has picked up 78 wickets in 22 Tests.
39 - Roach's wickets in 2012, the most for him in a calendar year. Three out of his nine five-fors, including his career-best match haul of 10 for 146 against Australia at Port of Spain, came that year.
70 - Roach's wickets tally before his 24th birthday. Only two West Indians had taken more wickets before turning 24 - Alf Valentine (100) and Wes Hall (89).
3 - Roach is the third-youngest West Indian to take a five-wicket haul, when he took 6 for 48 in just his second Test in 2009 (still his career-best innings figures). He is also the third-youngest West Indian to take 10-plus wickets in a Test, during his 10-wicket haul against Australia in 2012.
