I have seen him live at Eden Gardens in 1987-88 series.He was genuinely quick.Winston Davis was also quick in that series,still remember Dilip Vengsarkar retiered hurt after getting hit by a Winston Davis delivery.Good old days of watching cricket.Thanks a lot for this video.
Probably the fastest. I happened to read he is ailing with depression issues and living in remote place. The states should own up such greats. Nothing will happen if money spent on to rescue such greats than on wars to show who is big.
Absolutely, those are great lines by you. It's rehabilitation, cure, education, food & so on are the need of the hour. Wars are created & staged for financial & political gains not in the interest of the country or the common man.
But only on a couple of occasions... Jeff Dujon told story at Lords Tarverner's dinner he also told a funny story of about how Patterson threatened to kill Australian batsmen after they troubled him while he was batting.
@@Warlock786 Learn some biomechanics. He had the most efficient fast bowling action hence the speeds he generated. The problem is it requires incredible strength and flexibility and most can't replicate it.
I saw him live on a hard and fast wicket in Napier New Zealand anout this time, he was the fastest i ever saw, 10ks plus faster than Garner, or even Curtly
In reference Dujon, 'He doesn't move the feet too well." If this commentator realised who Dujon keeps to. These guys are bowling consistently over 85 MPH. A ball flying off the edge of a bat gives you no time to move the feet. You have to fly, which he did lots of.
Wonder what happened to him, maybe injury ended his career early. Sizzling pace but this was his only success in Australia, other than this one solitary five for he went for over 60 runs per wicket on 2 tours to Australia and wasn't much better in England.
What happened to him? The answer is "burnout." He did not learn to manage his pace like Holding, Roberts and a few others and, as a result, he was washed up within a handful of years. Once that seering pace has gone, it's gone.
@IBumpg OK,Mr.know it all,exactly what research are you suggesting that I do? You are communicating with someone who was a quick bowler,so make sure you know what you're talking about if you respond .
@@davifdavid4347Patto’s absence from test cricket was more due to being disillusioned than burnout. He was not reasonably treated by the cricket board. By the way, I know the man.
@IBumpg You may know him as you say you do,but that does not alter the fact that Patterson had lost significant pace due to 'burnout.' The last time I saw Patterson play in England in 1991,he was put to the sword by England's batsmen. It was horrible to watch. He was not the same player who destroyed England in 1986. By the way,you advised me to do some research, so although I didn't feel it was necessary,I have submitted to your request. The information I have seen suggests that Patterson was dropped from the team for unspecified disciplinary reasons. I stand by what I said,though,his pace had gone.
Well done, but Geoff Marsh (mediocre batter), Allan Border (LEGEND - got a great ball), and three tailenders is not a great five-for. What was McDermott doing batting at 9? 10 and 11 must have been dire.
Credit where it’s due, they were obviously fast but batsmen of today are far superior in skill mentally and physically. Most would’ve survived that easily.
Yeah cause batsmen nowadays easily survive 90-odd mph leg-cutters that bounce. They never nick off to gully anymore!! And I didn’t see Steve Smith no.1 batsman get roughed up and sconned by Jofra Archer’s 95 mph bouncers while on 80 n.o. You are right @gorgen23, batsmen of today are far superior in skill mentally and physically!
I think the context is important..The batsmen of that time were so psyched out by the Windies pace quartets that some wickets were lost to tame dismissals at times. Marsh literally missed a half volley and the tail were clearly scared.. But we also saw Mitchell Johnson in more recent times have a similar effect.
@@gpet23 Good luck smacking around Joel Garner and Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding…they all had test averages under 21 and strike rates 45-50 for test and 35- 45 in ODI’s.

Vengsarkar also missed the 1987 WorldCup becos of that. They brought in Chandrakant Pandit as a replacement, but it didn't work well.
Not easy for a quickie to do that on Indian wickets.
Vengsarkat didn't get hit.It was Manjrekar.Dilip did play WC 87.missed semi due to food poisoning.
They played with four genuine fast bowlers and four on the bench
everyone loves watching a really fast bowler, and this is really quick.
Patto what a great fast bowler, his decline is very sad
Probably the fastest. I happened to read he is ailing with depression issues and living in remote place. The states should own up such greats. Nothing will happen if money spent on to rescue such greats than on wars to show who is big.

There is a short documentary on you tube about him
Not true he was at my house 6 month a go he is living in a good house good community , he's just broke
@@oneilsmith9393thank you for giving real information about him
@@oneilsmith9393 I am happy to hear such news that he is good. I hope something can be done about his financial status.
If the legendary Jeff Dujon said that Patterson was the fastest of them all then he definitely was the fastest.
But only on a couple of occasions... Jeff Dujon told story at Lords Tarverner's dinner he also told a funny story of about how Patterson threatened to kill Australian batsmen after they troubled him while he was batting.
Also Sachin Tendulkar said the same. Reporter asked Sachin about Bret Lee & shoaib akter, who is fastest.. Sachin replied Patterson
Yes. !! Who is more qualified than Dujon to say that.
Since legendary Jeff Thomason, this West Indian great fast bowler has the most beautiful bowling action.
Jeff Thomson had a horrible bowling action
Malcolm Marshall 🙏
@@Warlock786 Learn some biomechanics. He had the most efficient fast bowling action hence the speeds he generated. The problem is it requires incredible strength and flexibility and most can't replicate it.
Most beautiful bowling action it's Michael holding
Far out. That is fast.
and BP Patterson was the FIFTH spoke in the great West Indies of the 80s bowling wheel. UNBELIEVABLE!! 😳
I saw him live on a hard and fast wicket in Napier New Zealand anout this time, he was the fastest i ever saw, 10ks plus faster than Garner, or even Curtly
When are we going to see the old west indies😢
Please upload also Curtly ambrose spell in long term
Will do mate. Are you after a specific spell or just any Ambrose content?
@@fromashestoarchive1861If possible Sachin Vs Ambrose
WACA 1993 for sure

The commentator is Ian Chappell ffs,he knows abit about the game .I see your point though.
And to think patto was dropped for the next test for roger harper. Who only bowked couple of overs with no success. Patto got a raw deal in wi cricket
Bill lorry is all time best commentator, my favourite too.
It says a lot about the heat generated by the bowler when an established opener is made to look like a tail ender.
Awesome bowling
West Indian delivery of the ball is quick mostly some of them just trott to the bowling crease but Deliver ball like a thunder bolt
The man we called "Rambo"...
Balfour Patrick Paterson...

Exceptionally quick but gun barrel straight was Patrick.
Whenever Aussies up against strong sides, they falter
What a load of bollocks!!!

Ever faced 150 ks plus, I can assure you it bothers modern batsman just as much. Border was an all time great
