Andy Roberts, the great fast bowler for West Indies, was born on this day. Roberts was famous for his deadly bouncers and his pace came from timing. There was very little emotion in his face. In 47 Test matches, Roberts took 202 wickets. He famously blew India away in Jamaica in 1982-83 with three wickets in an over to allow Viv Richards to hammer West Indies to a victory target of 173 inside 26 overs.
