[@andrewcampbell1129]

When West Indies cricket was respected world wide!! Begging u to return to greatness!!! Die hard WI fan I am!!!

[@rasheedrehman4694]

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

[@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 .

[@ibrahimaamna5739]

I agreed with u

[@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.

[@jonathanhull8175]

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

[@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

[@saravanan-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

[@Timberwolf1992]

1. Marshall 2. Ambrose 3. Garner 4. Roberts 5. Walsh(Revaluate his career and you'll only respect him, not just as a crafty bowler but also a professional cricketer) 6. Holding 7. Hall 8. Croft 9. Bishop 10. Clarke(he had the measure of the best RSA batsmen on rebel tours and enjoyed an outstanding stint with Surrey)

[@syedsuhailkhalid6405]

This list is incomplete without Patrick Patterson.

[@வசூல்_வடை]

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

[@colingeddes2172]

Its amazing how many great fast bowlers the windies have had, and unsurprisingly marshall was the best of them all. The greatest fast bowler of all time imo.

[@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

[@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.

[@chakrapanipundi697]

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

[@manoharthakur244]

Ambrose was dangerous bowler

[@krishnakumars.p8876]

Those west Indian legends were a nightmare to any team particularly when no 1 bouncer in 1 over wasn't there. They are highly skilled deadly instilled fear to any batsman and a pride for west indies. Nowadays cricket is batsman oriented particularly after the invention of t20 cricket. Kudos Windies guys. People of this generation would not know them.

[@cookloo-e9g]

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

[@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

[@johndasilva2686]

God put gold ✨️ in africa. 🛢 oil in the middle east . Football ⚽️ in Brazil . Hollywood stars 🌟 in america and cricket 🏏 in the west Indies. We were blessed to have so many fast bowling immortals in the 1980s. Holding Roberts garner marshall croft Davis Clarke etc.

[@blackrose474]

This anchor person is really great He rightly placed Waseem and Waqar at top position. Well done. Rest is story 👏

[@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!!

[@prabodhharsole450]

Charlie Griffith, Patric Patterson, Winston devis are missing

[@umeshkamble9094]

Great fast boller .....

[@shoaibmatin911]

Excellent post.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@alwaystruereality3753]

What I feel Malcom Marshall was fastest among all west Indians! When he used to bowls you cant miss your eye's!

[@MrSuzykhan]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@AuthenticSelector64]

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

[@rsramaswamy5292]

Where is Gilchrist?

[@jsmkumar2916]

Great cricketers

[@ashtongoorachan5168]

Marshall undisputed champion❤

[@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

[@kiranbitra1546]

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

[@RashmirekhaBorgohain-jb4dr]

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

[@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

[@ajayupadhye6333]

THE GREAT FAST BOWLERS

[@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

[@anjamma5333]

Where is patric Peterson.

[@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.

[@surajitchakraborty2383]

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

[@സ്വാമിഇഡലിപ്രിയാനന്ദൻ]

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

[@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.

[@asifsheikh6594]

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

[@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

[@gavinscott8903]

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

[@ranjitvedajna4705]

Your list is incomplete with the exclusion of Roy Gilchrist & Charlie Griffith the 2 deadly pacers .

[@johnmaguire7361]

I think Marshall was the GOAT

[@LesterFelix-i7g]

What about sylvester clarke,patrick patterson,germaine lawson.

[@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.

[@predator-we2zx]

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

[@sanjay_679]

Forgot Patterson, Wayne Daniel, Sylvester clark.

[@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!

[@LesterFelix-i7g]

This present crop they cannot bowl,because they bowls one way.Their ego is ahead of them

[@718Philo]

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

[@rambo3984]

Were is wes Hall ?

[@ericakshinthala]

I think at 9

[@manoharthakur244]

Paterson not played 20 test

[@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.

[@LesterFelix-i7g]

Yes wayne daniel was very good but came around in the wrong time when we really had good pacers.I would even rate milton small and cameron cuffy ahead of roach.Just look at the calibre of batsmen roach took his wickets against,medicore.Although eldine baptiste and vanburn holder were fast medium i also rate them ahead of him.Everyone of the aforementioned bowled out sides and won test matches,what has he done.Annoying.

[@blairboyd5617]

BThis man blogger makes me sick to heart him talking a lot of trash 🗑️, because he does not respect the number of wickets a bowler took during their career. Because if Courtney Walsh is the leading wickets taker bowler of all times,how can you putting other bowlers with lesser wickets a head of him are you crazy or what. I would like to know what is this blogger criteria,in order to select the bowlers in line. I would like to know how he access these bowlers,by the amount of wickets they took during their career or what. Because Walsh is the very first bowler in the world to take 500 test wickets in test cricket 🏏, so how are you comparing other with Walsh and. Rating Marshall as the number one bowler of the wi team, you are very biased.I know when all of the 10 bowlers started to play for their country and, the wi team during their career and.I know that you have some cyber bullies out there who does not understand the intricacies of cricket, you cannot be the greatest batsman or bowlers without the numbers to your name ok.
