AUS vs WI: West Indies cricket team is currently on Australia tour for all-format series. A two-match Test series is currently going on between the two teams, the second match of which is being played from January 25 at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane. Today is the third day of this pink ball test match.

So amidst all this, a big statement from Ricky Ponting has come out regarding fast bowler Kemar Roach, who was a part of the team on this tour of West Indies. Ponting says he still owes Roach $1.5 million.

When Kemar injured Ponting

It is noteworthy that when West Indies toured Australia in 2009, Kemar Roach was also a part of that West Indies team. On this tour, Ponting was injured by a bouncer ball from Kemar Roach in a match held at WACA, Perth, after which he had to leave the field. However, this injury could not stop Australia from winning the match and the team won by 35 runs, but Ponting came to bat at number 9 in the second innings in this match.

So now during a discussion with Channel 7 in the ongoing Pink Ball Test match at Gabba Brisbane, in which Kemar Roach was also involved, Ricky Ponting said – I have always said that Kemar (Roach) is a lethal bowler. They owe me about $1.5 million. Because he was bought into the IPL immediately after that spell (Ponting’s injury). On that tour, he bowled lethally not only in Perth but also in Adelaide.

On the other hand, when Kemar Roach was questioned about this, he said – It is just about expressing yourself and enjoying the game while remaining young.
