Greatest West Indian Fast Bowlers of Alltime | Top 10

[@vratysanu]

Could agree with top of 4 but Andy Roberts should definitely be at rank 5 above Walsh . Roberts was leader of the pack of the 4 horsemen can’t miss top 5 .

[@chakrapanipundi697]

U forgotten Charlie Griffith, eho is more devastating than Wesley Hall in 1960-70s.

[@syedsuhailkhalid6405]

This list is incomplete without Patrick Patterson.

[@Vijay_74_07]

Yes

[@davidrhodes7655]

Jeffery Dujon reckons Patrick Patterson was the quickest

[@bandishbandit5576]

So true

[@bandishbandit5576]

This compilation is not correct…ambrose cant be above holding and roberts…The first 5 should be Marshal,holding,roberts,garner & patterson…after that colin croft and the rest

[@paragkothawade1442]

We Indians have always respect and love West Indies players for their skills and sportsmanship. We feel bad for declining of West Indies in cricket. For none other team we feel it. Hope the golden days will come back

[@ShahShezad]

Just because of west indies people give priority to basketball & football ⚽🏈 nowadays because of they want migration in USA america for more money. They quickly leaving or quiting cricket 🏏 nowadays. Only american dream destroying cricket.

[@rohanchoudhury8043]

I bow down to all the legends of West Indian Cricket ....As a mid 1990's born I haven't seen live bowling of many in the list but the trio of Ambrose , Walsh & Bishop was deadliest of that time ...My maternal uncle & my father speaks greatness of Marshall , Holding , Garner & Roberts

[@sara-subramanian]

Growing up in India in the 70s and 80s, West Indies were one group that didn't hurt even when our home team lost to them. Golden era of cricket!

[@devparambath]

Truly the gentle men of Cricket, the Caribbeans.... I am the lucky one to see curtly ambrose, walsh, Andrew, Malcolm Marshell and Holding in action with their deadly pace...Needless to say their batting strength in the name of Gordon greenidge, haynes, clive lloyd to name a few... 🙏❤️🙏

[@malikmuhammadqasimqasim4785]

Watch out Imran, Wasim, Waqar & Shoaib as well....

[@rohanchoudhury8043]

@@malikmuhammadqasimqasim4785 ...Shoaib had no line & length ..He was hammered by Sachin & Sehwag very badly in 2000's ....Waqar too had got brutally hammered by Sachin - Sehwag , Jadeja , Laxman ...Only great Pak bowler was Akram who bowled really well against the mighty Indian batting of 1990's & 2000's ...Asif was better bowler than both Waqar & Shoaib but he had a short career coz of bad luck

[@jonathanhull8175]

Unbelievable array of fast bowling talent over a period of 3 decades. The likes of which are unlikely to ever be replicated.

[@rasheedrehman4694]

Marshal, Ambrose, Garner, Holding, Sylvester Clarke, Andy Roberts, Croft, Bishop, Hall, Walsh, Paterson.

[@cookloo-e9g]

That is some serious pace battery there, if even someone like Courteney Walsh can only manage a no.5 position.

[@artherkishore5067]

Ian Botham who had played with and against many of the legends, at least 5 of them, rates Andy Roberts as the best of them all along with DK Lillee (in his own words). Roberts, Marshall, Garner, Holding, Walsh, Ambrose, Hall, Croft, Winston Davis, Bishop would be my order.

[@neilgovender7450]

Very goood list, you could interchange a few of them easily. I got to see the late great Malcolm Marshall live when he played in Durban.He was still great even in his mid 30's. He mentored Pollock and Klusener. RIP Macca the GOAT

[@keithfernandes7350]

The best with actions so smooth and runups silky were Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Vanburn Holder....a very personal choice but the greatest with a captain Clive Lloyd who was and gave back to the Australians

[@BCArmstrong]

Thank you for the post.. however struggle to get Roach in the top 10 ahead of Charles Griffith and in the modern era the likes of Corey Collymore!!

[@gautambanegee5827]

Do you remember KEITH BOYCE? And WAYNE DANIEL?

[@bharatmahaan2991]

Bernard Julien and Boyce were fast medium as was Vanburn Holder.
Daniel was fast and could be hostile at times, but he didn't last long.

[@rsramaswamy5292]

Where is Gilchrist?

[@user-lg3yo1mn5c]

Wonderful list of some of the finest bowlers I have ever seen. But no space for Patrick Patterson, Sylvester Clarke or Wayne Daniel?

[@vantheman1238]

It’s a stat pick list. From listening to the AI there’s no emotion here!

[@hermanjenkins6601]

Patrick patterson?

[@neilgovender7450]

Theresa story about finding Patrick Patterson

[@kennyj43]

Great fast bowler but his career was not that long. Maybe that's why he didn't make the list.

[@davidrhodes7655]

@@hermanjenkins6601 The quickest ask Jeffery Dujon

[@MrSuzykhan]

Yes , I agree with your order. Marshall was the best ever

[@prabodhharsole450]

Charlie Griffith, Patric Patterson, Winston devis are missing

[@bharatmahaan2991]

It's tough to choose 10...
Chronologically(roughly)...(those who made their debut before 1990)
Constantine, Martindale, Trim, Jones, Hall, Griffith, Gilchrist, Roberts, Holding, Garner, Croft, Clarke, Marshall, Walsh, Patterson, Ambrose

[@gopalchatur2303]

Your ranking is not correct. I understand it's subjective and not always arguable.
Dennis Lilly, one of the greatest fast bowler and Gavaskar always ranked and rated Andy Roberts so high.
It should be Marshal, Roberts, Garner, Holding ,Ambrose, Walsh, Craft, Sylvester Clarks followed by x,y

[@AuthenticSelector64]

Colin Roach not better than Patrick Patterson Sylvester Clarke… or Wayne Daniel

[@surajitchakraborty2383]

Didn't agree with the rankings and the list that excluded the likes of Griffith, Gilchrist, Brendon Julian

[@ricardobufo]

You forgot to mention that Malcolm Marshall's intelligence was on par with Dennis Lillee. Craftiness takes at least as many wickets as speed and these two were probably the wiliest craftsmen of 'modern' times.

[@shoaibmatin911]

Excellent post.

[@manoharthakur244]

Ambrose was dangerous bowler

[@anjamma5333]

Where is patric Peterson.

[@user-cl1pv8lw3w]

Marshall... Holding... Robert... Davis... Daniel... Baptiste... 6pace bowlers... Loyd brought to defeat india as a revenge for he lost world cup 1983🙄🤔

[@umeshkamble9094]

Great fast boller .....

[@andyblyth4519]

Malcolm Marshall, a wonderful terrifying bowler if you were the batsman. The closest Englishman to him was the marvellous John Snow of Sussex, a bowler I watched as a youngster. Both were uncompromising all out attackers, with no quarter offered or given. RIP.

[@RashmirekhaBorgohain-jb4dr]

I think Joel garner Michel holding Andry Roberts Malcolm marshal the firece bowler of world cricket

[@TheTolstoy2nd]

What about the great line of fast bowlers produced by Pakistan. Fazal Mahmood, Imran Khan, Sarfaraz Nawaz, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, Muhammed Zahid, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf... and many more to come.

[@kiranbitra1546]

No doubt Walsh should be in no 1poition by his economy , accuracy and wicket taking .

[@asifsheikh6594]

Michael klark is very good and fast bowler but he unluckily played few tests because of other fast bowlers

[@ashtongoorachan5168]

Marshall undisputed champion❤

[@relevantbrother8964]

Id rank Hall at 7 at least.
Roberts has to be top 5. Gavaskar rated him as the best he faced.
Botham also rated him very highly as someone alluded to in the comments.

[@predator-we2zx]

Where's P.P.Patterson? He was the quickest of the lot, according to Jeff Dujon.

[@nuranichandra2177]

One thing for sure that these West Indian fast bowling group of 5-6 bowlers were far superior to the current crop of fast bowlers touted by India, England and Pakistan just because the yesteryear batsmen had superior skills

[@gavinscott8903]

Add the 1's that r not in the top 10 awesome array of quickies. Clarke. Patterson to name a couple

[@antoniodcruz3204]

Without Balfour Patrick Patterson any list of WI fast bowlers is incomplete as he instilled the same fear as did Malcolm Marshall, Roberts and the rest. Sadly he has lost his memory.

[@chriswatson7965]

I'd rank somewhat similar - Marshall, Ambrose, Garner, Hall, Holding, Roberts, Croft, Walsh, Bishop, Roach.

[@neilgovender7450]

good ranking, only Roach doesn't belong. Patrick Patterson, Sylvester Clarke,Wayne Daniel

[@yamyite]

Would love to have them on the speed gun, bet they were 88-90 tops. Sport science and fitter and stronger players of the modern game will be faster, facts!

[@jsmkumar2916]

Great cricketers

[@718Philo]

No way should Patrick "Balfour" Patterson omitted from this top ten

[@BlairBoyd-fs1xk]

Listening to what this blogger is saying about the top 10 faster bowlers,, when you listened to what this guy is saying. He must be drinking or smoking some weed or ganja, I know when all of those top 10 wi bowlers them started to playing and. A bowlers should rated by their record of wickets, that they took during their test career. So what this guy is saying it is all nonsense, this like the Olympics games. It does not matter what the public may think of an athlete, is to go out there on the day of competition and perform by winning the race. You cannot rated another athlete over the winner just like the wi bowlers, Walsh is the leading fast bowler of all times for the wi team. The very first bowler to take 500 test wickets in the history, so what this guy is saying it is all nonsense. He is not going by the bowlers them performing during their careers, so I would want to know how he have Walsh the all times leading wi fast bowler wickets taker at 5. He does not know anything about cricket, because he is going very backwards. That the highest performer in wi test cricket, is ranked at 5 and have two lower performers ahead of the number fast bowler. Anyway that his opinion and not facts, because they are 2 different reality stories here. I kept hearing the nonsense about Marshall, that he the greatest fast bowler for the wi team of all times. You know that there are so many biased people in the world, they just don't want to admit the truth. We all know that everyone have their favorite players in any sports, but you haveto admit other players them performances comparing to your favorite player unless you are very biased. I am not saying that Marshall is not a good bowler, but Walsh is a far greater bowler than the rest of them. Based on his performances which you cannot get around it no time at all, because that is the standard sized record for the wi cricket 519 test wickets by Walsh .So it does not matter how you are going to polished your comment about the rest of fast bowlers, they will never match up to the legendary Courtney Andrew Walsh .The greatest ever bowler of all times for the test team, there is no bowlers in the wi
Can be compared with Walsh.

[@nehaseth1996]

1970s 80s tak inki fast bowling chali kyun ke reason simple tha bowling restrictions nhi the bouncers beamers ser ke upar se wo marte the. Lekin jab se aisi ball No ball di Jane lagi aur beamers kiya toh baller ko suspend kiya Jane laga fir uske baad 1991 series me Marshall chuha lagne laga Australia me har batsman ne usko Tod fod daala. So inme se sirf 3 ballers dangerous kahe ja skte hai woh hai Courtney walsh Curtly Ambrose and kemar Roach Kyun ke restrictions hone ke bawjood in teeno ne apni taquad aur height se jyada apni accuracy, ability to swing the ball both ways, deadly Yorkers aur slower ones se bahot wkts liye. Ambrose ko test matches me koi bhi batsman ek bhi sixer nhi mar paaya toh walsh ne ek bhi ball wide ya no ball nhi ki aur Roach ke saamne fast pitches pe Australia bhi dar gayi thi. Toh in teeno ko chhod ke baki 7 bowlers agar aaj khelte toh nischit hee kagaz ke sher hote

[@manoharthakur244]
