Andy Roberts: What he said, really meant and definitely did not


Munaf Patel at Adelaide Oval

What he said:

“But now, he[Munaf Patel] is spinning the ball.”

Andy Roberts says that Indian pace bowlers cut down on pace at international level, becoming slower and slower over the years.He believe that they are transformed into line-and-length bowlers by their coaches.

What he really meant:

“Anil Kumble can bowl as quick as Munaf.”

What he definitely didn’t:

“That’s the reason why the West Indies have slower pitches in recent times.”

Andy Roberts: What he said, really meant and definitely did not


The typical bowling action of a fast bowler.

What he said:

“The knowledge is with me. But I can’t be going around asking for work.”

Andy Roberts, legendary West Indian fast bowler, is indignant at the treatment meted out to him by the West Indian Cricket Board (WICB). He feels that “the top brass needs a kick in the back side”—the WICB had 18 directors at one time.

What he really meant:

“I don’t get the respect I deserve.”

What he definitely didn’t:

“Make me the 19th director of the West Indian Cricket Board.”
