I saw Patrick Patterson play once, vs NZ at Christchurch in 1987. He was reputed to be the world's fastest at that time. Hard to express just how fast though. The keeper (Dujon) was standing at least 30 yards back from the stumps, and the ball was rising when it got to him. Watched from from the stands for a few overs at mid-wicket area. The pace of the ball... like a cruise missile. Such power! This was a side with Joel Garner and Courtney Walsh who were exceptional bowlers, but Patterson was way faster. This video was beautiful to watch. I especially like how clean the footage was - they must have used the master tapes.
@@ianbentley7276 True Ian! You must've seen the same interview as I saw, where there were a few sitting down and interviewing Dujon. They asked him who was the fastest bowler you've ever kept to, and he said... Patrick Patterson. So he must've been more deadlier than Ambrose. Even tho ol' Curtly was just starting his career.
@@analcommando1124 He may not be "legendary", but Jeff Dujon (the legendary Windies wicket-keeper during that time) said that Patterson was probably the fastest and most difficult one from his point of view as a wicket-keeper.
Saw Patterson play one time only at Old Trafford for Lancashire against Yorkshire on the first day of a county game in 85 . The ground was almost empty. He took 7 for 77 , steaming in from the pavilion end . Most of those 77 runs were edges and thick edges through the slips and gully area for boundaries with no third man . He completely blew Yorkshire away . A long time ago indeed , but I have never forgotten it.
As a kid, I used to imitate Patrick Patterson's bowling when playing gully cricket....just to realize that my knees hurt after 3 balls....so then I switched to bowling like Ravi Shashtri 🙂
I saw him bowl in 1985 at the Queens Park Oval. It was a regional 50 over game, and he was bowling to Phil Simmons. He ran up from the Pavilion end and unleashed a ball that was outside off stump. It was left alone by Simmons and went through to Dujon. But I never saw it go down the pitch. I have seen Marshall, Garner, Ambrose, Walsh, Winston Davis, Wayne Daniel and Holding (at the end of his career) bowl in person, and Patterson was the fastest I have ever seen
There is an interview of Dujon here on RUclips where he said the same thing, much to the interviewer's surprise - that as a wicket keeper Patterson was the fastest he faced.
Holding was faster, especially between 1976 and 1981. Andy Roberts was recorded at 99mph. Wes Hall and Roy Gilchrist were fast, too. Jeff Dujon began wicket-keeping for West Indies in the 3rd test of the 1981/1982 test series between West indies and Australia. This test was played in 1982. Holding was at his peak between 1976 and 1981. Imran Khan mentioned that Holding's peak was five years. Andy Roberts was recorded at 99mph. Most of his deliveries weren't recorded. He could have touched 100mph. Holding was faster than Roberts.
Actually viv asked AB at the toss if he wanted to get his players killed because the pitch looked like corrugated iron.....MCG has always been a problematic pitch
I'm getting on a bit but what have they done to the pitch. It was a real crucible of terror and not for faint hearts. Great battles, great performances. Terrible news. What reason was given for this vandalism by good and the great? Take care.
Wow 😮!! What superb fast bowling and unique, pure bowling action - high front foot (almost like a straight high karate kick) and straight arm cartwheel type follow through. Amazing stuff, Patrick Patterson.
@@WINFIELD120 I agree. Clive Lloyd said back in the late 1990s that during the West Indies glory days unfortunately only enough money was generated by their success to patch up old grandstands rather than build new ones. Greg Chappell retired in January 1984 at age 35 and a half, but if there had been no world series cricket he would not have played anywhere near that long because even by the time WSC came along when he was still in his late 20s, it was getting harder and harder to justify playing cricket when it was not professional but taking up more and more of an elite player's time none the less.
I think West Indians are not that interested in Cricket like what it was during 1970s and 1980s.They are now mostly interested in Athletics Football and Basketball.That is why now West Indies cannot not bring out top quality fast bowlers and top quality Batsmen which West Indies could do during 1970s and 1980s.
Saw him in the nets at Lord’s in 88 bowling to The Windies reserve keeper. I’ve never seen anything so quick in my life. I was genuinely worried for his safety.
I first saw him on TV in 1987 world cup. Later when WINDIES toured India for test and ODI series, he was their frontline pacer. He had very smooth and lethal action
@@tambekatumba8425 really could we be able to accurately measure the speeds of earlier generation's bowlers by this app? If yes then what should I have to do in order to properly calculate the speed of these balls?
Patterson came to India in 1988 wen Viv captained. They won the series 2-1 Many Indians came to know about Patterson in that series, he was really fast with good amount of bounce the stand out was his really long run up. Sanjay Manjrekar was hit by one of the bouncers from Patterson , retired hurt with a fractured jaw...if I recollect correctly..
Marshall, Patterson and Ian Bishop were the express pacers. Ambrose was not far behind in pace. Walsh was still fast but he focused more of line, length and variation.
I know. He was well liked by the players and a good VC to Border so that may have been some of it. He got picked during the terrible time of the Rebel tour and the fact was there just weren't many good alternatives as opening bat until Mark Taylor came along in 88/89 and then Slater.
He averaged 33 as a batsman and being a wicketkeepar batsman i dont think its bad. Also hit 4 century and 15 50s. In odi he averaged close to 40 which is again a great.
Patrick paterson the great 🙌🙏 i have never seen such a gr8 level of fast bowling it is sad such a high level of fast bowlers are not around today the level of bowling in international cricket has deteriorated day by day
I really love to watch West Indies Playing in Australia in the years 1978 to 1988... It was the time when West Indies had real quality Pace attack & great Batters. Lively & sporting pitches which helped both bowlers & Batters in Australia. Excellent telecaat by channel Nine. Great commentators like Richie Benaud, Tony Graig... All & all joy to watch real cricket...
Was bowled at 150 km/hr. His tall height makes it look like a floater. I used the bowlometer app. I found his speed to be ranging from 146 to 156 km/hr in this video. This app if used properly gives an accurate measurement. I have used this on modern day bowlers. The results are very close to speed that appears on the screen.
All West Indian cricketers, be it a bowler or a batsman, all of them have a childish simplicity in them. They played for the fun of cricket and never had been crafty, ugly game plan. They played, they won or lost, whatever, but at the end of the day, they took with them to the dressing room, only joy, no grudge. Pure sportsmanship.
This was the test where PP got sledged by the Australian players and he went into their dressing room before the innings shown here and said “ I’m going to kill, kill, kill all of you “ or something similar!! Then he went out and basically did that in taking 5 wickets!! Such a shame that he’s been lost to the game for years. Brilliant that the journalist found him though.
It is always great fun to watch legendary west indies hard hitting batsman or devastating fearsome fast bowlers like marshall patrick patterson joel garner ian bishop Walsh and ambrose
80s bowling line of West Indies were the most night mare for any team. This bowling line up is only a dream now Geol Garner Michael Holding Malcom.Marshel Pattric Patterson Ambrose Walsh Winston Benjamin Ian Bishop
Dujon who kept to all the great WI quicks named him as the quickest so how fast must he have been? Deryk Murray was the keeper when Roberts and Holding were in their prime so he probably had a different opinion.
Manny Martindale and Learie Constantine before ww1....there were others too between ww1 and ww2....Then post ww2 in the 50s and 60s Wesley Hall Charlie Griffiths and Roy Gilchrist.

There still others in that generation like Hartley Alleyne Frankyn Stephenson Winston Davis Anthony Gray Ezra Moseley Eldine Baptiste etc. 70s and 80s WI was greatest ever past present future in terms of 100 mph quicks and atg potential pacers. Having played with and against everyone from Linwall Miller Trueman Tyson Hall Griffiths down to Shaun Tait and Michell Starc Garfield Sobers (second best batsman ever after Don Bradman and the greatest all rounder and cricketer by a long way) named a certain George John as the fastest he ever saw from any era and any team and at any level. He never faced him as the man retired before Sobers debuted in the early 50s.
What was a magnificent bowling performance by Patrick Patterson.I want to see again this performance by present West Indies team! And come back that eighties(80's)West Indian full Cricket team again!

But where we differ is that I find Sachin to be a complete batsman for all formats.
For the young kids watching this for the first time. That's a bowler bowling upwards of 150 kmph and inswinging with seam movement before people started knitting seams like the way they do with the duke and kookaburra today. Patterson and Marshall are probably the only two who could in their heyday swing the ball upwards of 150 kmph consistently.

I saw patterson run through the indian batting lineup in 1987 - 88 series against India . On Indian wickets he was generating pace and bounce which no other bowler in the series could . I remember a Sportstar magazine released during this series. On the cover was Patrick Patterson and the heading said " Partrick Batterson "
I watched that series as well on our B/W TV set. The hindi commentator remarked on patterson's run-up saying look at him take those small strides leading up to the vicious fast run up, akin to how a tiger or lion prepares to catch it's prey..Pat's career was short lived because of injuries and hence faded away with Walsh and Ambrose taking over
Also, do you recall Sir Clive Lloyd being stone pelted by the indian crowd after India obviously lost the match? I think this was the previous series when Sir Clive was still captiaining WI?
Are you serious?? As a tailender he got behind the line most of his career until he got hit in the head, and lost his nerve...the WI's under Viv confessed they went after him because they didn't like his competitive approach...how's that for so called WI's sportsmanship?
I had a Sportstar Magazine of 1989 issue,now I have lost it😢.In that Sportstar Magazine I saw West Indies team players in Madras (Chennai) having lunch,what I saw was Legendary Fast bowler Patrick Patterson was really enjoying his lunch with Sambar and Rice 😀🙏🙏
We watched him in "awe and reverence" in the 80s when Patrick joined Malcolm Marshall and his fast troupe, so intense and fast was the Carribean battery of pace firepower, every team that battled with them would seek "losing with dignity". I reuse Imran Khan's words here. Channel 7 of Oz brought the game to Indian homes in the 80s.
He had pace and the height. Lethal combination. Add to it the devilish bounce such bowlers can generate even on not so helpful surfaces. Ah...back when cricket was a game for men, not boys
@@bonjourr100 Don’t know they were timing then. Marshal was skiddy. Because he was not tall. His perfect sling action made his able to swing The ball in any condition, but with devastation in Colder climates . I played under 17 cricket against Him. He bajan and me Trini. At sixteen, he was Already fast.
@@bonjourr100 Each fast bowler has his own style and technique of Developing speed. The strategy is horning those skills By learning speed with control. The fastest does not necessarily Makes you the best. Speed with control is the master. WI had a fast bowler named Uton Dowe. VERRY fast But wild. Sprayed the ball all over the place . Maybe one Dangerous ball per over. He got beaten out of cricket By class batsmen. You want control like Bumrah Accuracy like Ambrose, speed like Shaun Taite, Bounce like Garner, to be in a class of your own.
Had this great legend continued with his career for the West Indies team for a few more years he would have broken records and brought many more laurels to his country. Alas, the team management of WI never repented for their disservice and utter humiliation meted out to this great cricketer.
A green pitch breaking from lunch of Day 3. An array of dangerously fast bowlers, cunning seamers and wily tweakers. Lets now see how the batsmen fare! That is Test cricket, tailormade for paradise!

still remembered Back in 1986 when westindies toured Pakistan in National Stadium Karachi they were practicing in nets when Patrick Perterson come close to pick the ball near boundary line .. dozen of fans watching practice session started to tease and shout on him. He literally ROAR with prolong sound. as a teenager it was so scary for our group that we just Ran away far from the scene. Just remembered this innocent memory watching this video
1987...Patric Paterson Sir had a very very different actionn...ffor children..that was a funnny..but I still ennjoy ...why now that is hiddenn ???? before put the ball on pitch he jumped to collect the energy and aim to the stumps....kindly replay that action plz....that nnever matched with anyone...
Utterly ferocious competitor. His bowling against England @ Sabina Park in 1986 was supposed to be even faster, on a worse pitch. Unfortunately, we only have the oral histories of that match, as it wasn't broadcast, so there isn't video footage of it. Graham Gooch said he really feared for his wellbeing facing Patterson during that match.
I still remember him bowling lightening fast at Delhi test 1987 on TV. He bowled a bowl outside the offstump at 95+ miles to Raman Lamba the opener. The bowl cut sharply inside and Raman was just lifting his bat but his offstump was rooted out. India was all-out at 75 runs. Then in 1987 world cup due to the atleast 14 overs in an hour rule, he cut short his runup but to get the rythem he drummed his feet over the ground before starting the runup. What a fast bowler he was
Wrong..that innings Davis bowled him Lamba was scattered in the 2nd innings by Patterson.. I remember lamba was replaced by amarnath n then lamba came back in the 7th odi, again falling lbw to Patterson.. That was the sad end to an opener's short career where he could hit sixes over covers off fast bowlers. He did play occasionally on ODIs after that, but by now bowlers knew he would fall to fast inswing.
I saw Patterson bowl in Napier in 1987 I think. He was lightning. Dujon was standing 30 metres back and catching it round this head. Fastest I ever saw when he got it right
@@Jojpjjpkpjpjpjjpjjjlnohiguvu but Patterson threatened to kill Donald Bradman and then Bradman replied “I saw you for the last two hours and u couldn’t even get Merv Hughes out, u would have no chance against me mate”

No DRS, No super over, no spider cams, no powerplay- JUST PURE CRICKET...!
But u agree presence of DRS justify original decision.. otherwise it was a crime..
They are not showing the umpiring errors in highlights

No women...
That's actually impure cricket full of errors
Searing pace can make batsmen do funny things, like make established openers like Marsh look like tail enders.

That's a bowler bowling upwards of 150 kmph and inswinging with seam movement before people started knitting seams like the way they do with the duke and kookaburra today. Patterson and Marshall are probably the only two who could in their heyday swing the ball upwards of 150 kmph consistently.
Pattrick Patterson till date unsung best fastest bowler
Most of the cricket pandits already have considered Patric as the fastest bowler of all time.
I used the bowlometer app. I found his speed to be ranging from 146 to 156 km/hr in this video. This app if used properly gives an accurate measurement. I have used this on modern day bowlers. The results are very close to speed that appears on the screen.
He was around 150
@@999titu Maybe a bit more, even Fidel Edwards could exceed 150 on Some occasions.
The memories n look on his face make me sad,yet its goid he still able to converse at a level. Rating real BIG in my book
I saw patterson run through the indian batting lineup in 1987 - 88 series against India . On Indian wickets he was generating pace and bounce which no other bowler in the series could . I remember a Sportstar magazine released during this series. On the cover was Patrick Patterson and the heading said " Partrick Batterson "
Courtney Walsh picked up 26 wickets at an average of 16 in that series though he was the best bowler of all
I watched that series as well on our B/W TV set. The hindi commentator remarked on patterson's run-up saying look at him take those small strides leading up to the vicious fast run up, akin to how a tiger or lion prepares to catch it's prey..Pat's career was short lived because of injuries and hence faded away with Walsh and Ambrose taking over
Also, do you recall Sir Clive Lloyd being stone pelted by the indian crowd after India obviously lost the match? I think this was the previous series when Sir Clive was still captiaining WI?
Great fast bowling
Attacking positive bowling
Patrick Patterson
Fastest bowler ever to play cricket 💯
Thommo was
Brave and McDermott should never be used in the same sentence
Are you serious?? As a tailender he got behind the line most of his career until he got hit in the head, and lost his nerve...the WI's under Viv confessed they went after him because they didn't like his competitive approach...how's that for so called WI's sportsmanship?
One of the accurate fast bowlers fm the Super times of West Indies cricket with constant speed.
My favourite Fast Bowler.
Great Fast Bowler♥️♥️♥️
This video quality is pretty good. Miss Patrick Patterson's superb bowling.
I had a Sportstar Magazine of 1989 issue,now I have lost it😢.In that Sportstar Magazine I saw West Indies team players in Madras (Chennai) having lunch,what I saw was Legendary Fast bowler Patrick Patterson was really enjoying his lunch with Sambar and Rice 😀🙏🙏
Remembered Patrick Patterson all of a sudden and came to this vid.
Dujon looks as if he was built for wicket keeping.
We watched him in "awe and reverence" in the 80s when Patrick joined Malcolm Marshall and his fast troupe, so intense and fast was the Carribean battery of pace firepower, every team that battled with them would seek "losing with dignity". I reuse Imran Khan's words here.
Channel 7 of Oz brought the game to Indian homes in the 80s.
Marsh decided to become an eye doctor after this match.
Patrick Patterson the living legend
Such a good pace
He had pace and the height. Lethal combination. Add to it the devilish bounce such bowlers can generate even on not so helpful surfaces. Ah...back when cricket was a game for men, not boys
Batsman of current era must be thanking God that the mighty west indian pace battery is retired ..
Be prepared for a new generation of genetically modified
Fast bowlers coming from the Windies. They are breeding
Then right now.
PP was probably the fastest of all WI bowlers.!
They were all fast at some point, but PP had that extra yard of speed and lift
That even Jeffry dujon attest to that.

Don’t know they were timing then.
Marshal was skiddy. Because he was not tall.
His perfect sling action made his able to swing
The ball in any condition, but with devastation in
Colder climates . I played under 17 cricket against
Him. He bajan and me Trini. At sixteen, he was
Already fast.
@@bonjourr100
Get yourself checked. India I guess?

Each fast bowler has his own style and technique of
Developing speed. The strategy is horning those skills
By learning speed with control. The fastest does not necessarily
Makes you the best. Speed with control is the master.
WI had a fast bowler named Uton Dowe. VERRY fast
But wild. Sprayed the ball all over the place . Maybe one
Dangerous ball per over. He got beaten out of cricket
By class batsmen. You want control like Bumrah
Accuracy like Ambrose, speed like Shaun Taite,
Bounce like Garner, to be in a class of your own.
Had this great legend continued with his career for the West Indies team for a few more years he would have broken records and brought many more laurels to his country. Alas, the team management of WI never repented for their disservice and utter humiliation meted out to this great cricketer.
What did that shower do to a great athlete? Nothing surprises me about the Windies board. Regards.
Great bowler but then wasn't he competing with Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop?
Its not unique to the west indies. Politics plays a big role in who gets to play for the national team and who gets prematurely thrown out.
I saw him live once vs an Australia A side and he was the quickest bowler I ever saw!
West Indies produces the fastest howlers the world has ever seen.
Brilliant fast bowler in history.
A green pitch breaking from lunch of Day 3. An array of dangerously fast bowlers, cunning seamers and wily tweakers. Lets now see how the batsmen fare! That is Test cricket, tailormade for paradise!
One of the greatest bowler of all time no doubt about that
When PP delivers, Oh God He can Do It.
As fast as smooth,,,,what a great flow,
I remembered I was a child in school. I saw Patrick Patterson bowling. He bold someone and stump was broken. I understood how fast he was
Probably the quickest ever.
Legend of cricket
He had quite amazing bowling stance.
Came here after Sachin mentioned him as one of the fastest bowler ...
As a Lancastrian I've always been a little bit in awe of Patrick and a whole lot grateful
What a pace!
My favourite bowler in Childhood.
Ambrose and Patterson together would've been one of the devastating bowling combos of history..
I second this, growing up I liked them better than the PAK and AUS duos.
I used the bowlometer app. I found his speed to be ranging from 146 to 156 km/hr in this video. This app if used properly gives an accurate measurement. I have used this on modern day bowlers. The results are very close to speed that appears on the screen.
i think patterson was fastest when he first come
According to Dujon Patterson is the fastest he has kept wickets to
True, according to his wife.

still remembered Back in 1986 when westindies toured Pakistan in National Stadium Karachi they were practicing in nets when Patrick Perterson come close to pick the ball near boundary line .. dozen of fans watching practice session started to tease and shout on him. He literally ROAR with prolong sound. as a teenager it was so scary for our group that we just Ran away far from the scene. Just remembered this innocent memory watching this video
Beautiful bowling action ❤
1987...Patric Paterson Sir had a very very different actionn...ffor children..that was a funnny..but I still ennjoy ...why now that is hiddenn ???? before put the ball on pitch he jumped to collect the energy and aim to the stumps....kindly replay that action plz....that nnever matched with anyone...
Utterly ferocious competitor. His bowling against England @ Sabina Park in 1986 was supposed to be even faster, on a worse pitch. Unfortunately, we only have the oral histories of that match, as it wasn't broadcast, so there isn't video footage of it. Graham Gooch said he really feared for his wellbeing facing Patterson during that match.
❤ that celebration! Legend!
Way Patterson celebrates the fall of wicket doesn't offend the batsman. Now a days you don't find them.
Patrick Patterson was such a high quality fast bowler but unfortunately very underrated so sad!
I still remember him bowling lightening fast at Delhi test 1987 on TV. He bowled a bowl outside the offstump at 95+ miles to Raman Lamba the opener. The bowl cut sharply inside and Raman was just lifting his bat but his offstump was rooted out. India was all-out at 75 runs.
Then in 1987 world cup due to the atleast 14 overs in an hour rule, he cut short his runup but to get the rythem he drummed his feet over the ground before starting the runup.
What a fast bowler he was
Wrong..that innings Davis bowled him
Lamba was scattered in the 2nd innings by Patterson..
I remember lamba was replaced by amarnath n then lamba came back in the 7th odi, again falling lbw to Patterson..
That was the sad end to an opener's short career where he could hit sixes over covers off fast bowlers.
He did play occasionally on ODIs after that, but by now bowlers knew he would fall to fast inswing.
Patrick Paterson on fire destroying Australian batting
He was such a jolly man
Beautiful cricketer pattrick Patterson
I saw Patterson bowl in Napier in 1987 I think. He was lightning. Dujon was standing 30 metres back and catching it round this head. Fastest I ever saw when he got it right
A few weeks after this he was brought back down to earth by Sir Donald Bradman
I'm sure Bradman would've averaged 19 (not 99+) if he was facing a four man pace quartet with the likes of Patterson...
@@Jojpjjpkpjpjpjjpjjjlnohiguvu but Patterson threatened to kill Donald Bradman and then Bradman replied “I saw you for the last two hours and u couldn’t even get Merv Hughes out, u would have no chance against me mate”
@@MrEnergee1987 A smart remark from an old man. What else?
