Stats definitely keep me going: Kemar Roach

West Indian great Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop spent a large part of day three at the commentary box during the two-match series opener against Bangladesh at Antigua regretting that Kemar Roach deserved much more respect than what he gets, reports Cricbuzz.com.

''He should get 300 Test wickets,'' exclaimed Ambrose on quite a few occasions while Bishop echoed the same sentiment watching the right-arm fast bowler writing his name in the history book by claiming 249 Test wickets and equaling none other than West Indian legendary pace man Michael Holding.

''Proud man (to equal Michael Holding),'' Roach, who picked his 10th five-for in the game said after the end of play.

''Obviously he is one of the legends of the game and to equal him just goes to show I am pretty much up there. It's a good feeling and obviously you wanna keep going as much you can and I got some more wickets in me I definitely have,'' he said ''Stats man, stats (keep me going) and money too but stats definitely keep me going and I love to be amongst the great. Put my name up there and obviously in history and so therefore that what I am going for,'' he said adding that 300 wickets is something that he wants to achieve in next two to three years.
