[@BlairBoyd-fs1xk]

As I said before it does not matter what you guys is going to say, that the experts said. It is all nonsense that they are talking, because not one of those so called experts are not fast bowlers. So they does not have any idea of what they are talking about, they are only going by who they likes most. They are not going by stats and, if you are not going by stats. Then me and you cannot see eyes in eyes at all, because how are you is. Going compared the leading wickets taker of all times for the wi team, plus Walsh was the very first bowler in test cricket. To ever to take over 519 wickets so, how are you going to put baby Marshall and other above the legendary fast bowler. A bowler with stamina and class,this is not some was given to him on platter. It is something through hard works and dedication, to let him achieve this mile stones. Walsh is the only wi fast bowler also spin to the 500 club ,so he is a different class all by himself. It does not matter what public opinion said, it is not relevant at all. I know that everytime that I said something which is true, you have a lot of cyber bullies trying. To get into confrontational with me, because they are just ignorant of the facts.

[@rcummings2357]

Just to say Sir W. W. Hall has to be in this mix. Certainly Patrick Patterson and Kemar Roach are deserving

[@marcusbosch4325]

This list is much more sensible than the one on the video. I’ve watched all these guys except for Hall and Griffiths, but their reputation and figures definitely put them in this list. And what Garner could do with the ball was amazing, and his average also show he should be right near the top. And much as I loved watching Andy Roberts, Allan Border was very straightforward answering the question “who was the best bowler you ever faced?” -it was Malcolm Marshall.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Malcolm Marshall was legendary rip to the great man.

There is absolutely no way you can include Winston Benjamin in this list, in front of Kemar Roach. At his best, Kemar was faster than Winston, more hostile,more accurate and swung the ball both ways, in addition to the skill of reverse swing. Then his longevity is beyond comparison, especially after coming back from numerous serious injuries.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your insightful feedback. We agree that Roach is one of the top bowlers West Indies ever produced. He was a tough miss on our list, in addition to some other prominent names. We were thinking of doing a top 20 list so we could include all the players we couldn't. 😅

[@DavidThompson-qt3ri]

Wes Hall must be on the list.

We can't disagree there. He was our number 11 and Winston Davis 12. Who would you take out of our current list to replace with Wes Hall?

[@DavidThompson-qt3ri]

[@dmvbay2535]

Roach can be replaced by either Benjamin or Clarke

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Not a bad suggestion

[@dmvbay2535]

I think a lot of people are sleeping on Sylvester Clarke. He was a very mean and dangerous fast bowler but had a shortish career.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

That was the reason why we couldn't include him. His talents were simply outstanding.

[@daltonforrester8235]

How can you have Winston Benjamin as top 10 and no Wes Hall? Malcolm Marshall is no. 1, Croft higher than Ambrose, Garner Holding?

[@thereversescoopUSA]

We focused mostly on skillsets as a fast bowler over pace, and this is the order we landed on. Wes Hall, however, could easily have come in for Taylor or Benjamin.

[@blairboyd5617]

Listening to you guys comments you are only looking for likes, to start up a very controversial conversation. Because it is your opinions but facts and opinions is two different things, opinions is an assumption of what you think about a person but. It is not the true identity of what the person did in real life, because it is only one wi fast bowler in the 500 Walsh the all wickets taker. So how you would rated a bowler with a lower wickets tally, than the bowler with the all time leading bowler. You can see the biasness with these guys, because what they are saying it is all nonsense. I have watched all of the wi bowlers bowled from Wes Hall and Charlie Griffiths, from in the 1960s to this present time. I couldn't say about the 1950s, because I was too young to understand the game. They can say what they want to say with their stupidity, because anybody with any form of sense. They will know that they are talking a lot of nonsense, because when you put the all time leading wickets taker at 7 then you can realized, that they are very, very biased. I would like to know what is their criteria of selection, rather than selecting the bowlers according by the amount of wickets they took during their career playing for the wi team . It is not something someone is giving it to you because of favoritism, it is something that you worked for. Because if I make the most marks in my exam, the teacher cannot give the lower student the scholarship over me. Because I would haveto challenge it by the administration, because the rules said. That the student with the highest marks, should awarded the scholarship, so I don't know where you got your understanding from talking a lot of trash 🗑️.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

I love your passion and commitment to West Indies cricket, and though I may be younger than you, it doesn't make me ignorant to the fact that West Indies has a great legacy. Your point about stats is okay, but you have to weigh the performances on a scale on impact. Then we know tjr true value of those runs and wickets.

[@ashtongoorachan5168]

Top4 Marshall,Garner,Ambrose,Walsh.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

That's a great top 4.

[@vmsballer]

Malcolm Marshall was easily the most skillful. Probably didn't need to research anyone. If you gave Roberts number one for that reason I can't see you omitting Wes Hall as he was the first of the great Windies bowlers.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Yea Wes Hall probably shouldn't have missed out on our list. Now that we think back, one of Winston Benjamin or Jerome Taylor, should have missed out. Thanks for the great feedback and being part of our community 😊. Stay tuned for more historical rankings in West Indies cricket 🏏

[@vmsballer]

@@thereversescoopUSA Courtney is severely underrated as players have said he was probably the best old ball bowler. I witnessed him bowl an entire day (52 overs) in a FC game taking 6 wickets. MA said he could move the ball in and out but what he did late in his career was straighten the ball from wide of the crease. This accounted for many of the wickets in the last part of his career. Roach could have been considered in the top 10 also.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Courtney Walsh found a way to be on cruise control and did the heavy lifting for WI cricket. What a servant of the game.

Why were Wes Hall & Charlie Griffith not on the list these are two great pace bowlers.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

It was a tough task nailing down the top 10. The criteria we used was based on the skillset. Wes Hall or Chalie Griffith could have easily replaced a Jerome Taylor or Winston Benjamin.

[@edwardshaw8312]

Thank you! Wes Hall and Griffiths are great fast bowlers of my era!

[@DonavonSimms-gf2ko]

What criteria used to come up with this list

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Our criteria were to look at the skillsets of bowlers first and then their records, era's, impact, and pace. But above all, the skillset was the main criteria.

[@DavidLouisson]

Difficult for me to choose between Ambrose and Marshall as my #1. I also rate Holding, Roberts, Garner and Walsh very highly. That's out of all of the bowlers I've actually seen live. Just my opinion,

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Those are some legendary names right there. Great list.

Marshall #1 Marshall #2....then anyone can be # 3

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Haha thats a noce way to put it 😅

[@Calypsocalover]

Another interesting list, but I cannot accept it without the mention of either Hall or Griffith. Jerome Taylor would have to go. Did he not have action issues? There was also a short guy from Jamaica, can't remember his name now, but put absolute fear in opposing batsmen. He had discipline and attitude issues so he didn't play long either. But the circumstances and conditions under which he played and the quality of opposing batsmen must be taken into account as with the older guys. 1 and 2 would be debatable. I have no problem with either one.

[@michaelaustin-xx7cu]

Ninsense.... 134 wickets at 34 runs apiece is NOTHING to get excited about.Can't even get into the top 20.Many more fast bowlers have MORE wickets than him at BETTER averages too.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

It's about the criteria here, was ge quick?

[@johnkennedy8640]

Personal feelings doesn't justify Roberts being number one! Why would Croft be rated above Holding? He didn't even play that many matches, or take that many wickets. Even in the bowling order of the most dominant West Indies quintet, Croft was 4th-5th in the order. Did Croft really face the same quality of batsmen that Holding and Roberts faced? Mostly, by the time Croft got into the game, batsmen are usually well softened and the remaining batting order is less potent.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your feedback. Some great points you made there.

[@romeldphillips3146]

Thank you for your feedback. Jerome Taylor made our Quickest WI bowlers of all time. Our initial top 10 was based on the skillset, and Marshall arguably is #1. However, we wanted to highlight Andy Roberts. But I totally feel you, as Marshall was the goat 🐐

[@nkosiwilson9179]

Number 10 have to be Kemal roach

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your feedback. He is still an active player. Hence, we didn't include. What does your top 10 look like?

[@PunanyChemist]

Winston Benjamin was not a fast bowler. He was a medium pacer. Therefore, he shouldn't even be counted. Jerome Taylor please, this guy wouldn't make the top 30. I think you are missing Charlie Griffith, Sylvester Clarke, Gilchrist, Winston Davis,Patrick Patterson, Martindale, Constantine and Wes Hall. Lastly Marshall surpassed Roberts the teacher. Marshall is the number one bowler of all time.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

The names you mentioned will be part of our list on the fastest West Indies bowlers of all time. Stay tuned for those rankings, and thanks for watching and being part of our community .

Solid top 5

[@josephellis658]

Where is Alf Valentine

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Unfortunately, I couldn't fit him in our top 10. What does your top 10 look like?

[@arunminnas]

Interesting analysis and list. Andy and Malcolm Marshall are really numbers 1 and 2, does not matter who you have as the number 1. Colin Croft at 3 is interesting. I would have had Mikey Holding there, just for longevity. Crofty had a short career. Joel Garner being on the list is a given so also Ambrose and Walsh. Curious why you left out Wes Hall, Griffith and Sylvester Clarke.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we emphasized skillset during the selection criteria over extreme pace. Hence, other players made the list over some you mentioned. We will do a list with Pace as our main criteria as well.

[@christopherthompson6467]

You cannot make the case for top speed without Patrick Patterson. Ask Jeffery Dujon. He affirmed Patterson was the quickest he had ever kept to. Sylvester Clark was also feared by many batsmen for his sheer pace.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

This list is based on skillset first and then pace. We will do a list in the near future with Pace as the main criteria. In this list, who would you replace for Patrick Paterson?

[@GavinSmith1234]

garner has to be top three ... like what? @@thereversescoopUSA

[@thereversescoopUSA]

@GavinSmith1234 a case could be made. But the top 3 would be a tough for Garner.

[@GavinSmith1234]

@thereversescoopUSA brother... garner S average, skills and success alone puts him there.. do you know what a 20 bowling average means? And an average under 20 in odi?? He's better than roberts and croft. Marshall Garner Ambrose Roberts that's the top 4.

[@GavinSmith1234]

And how does "skill set" make sense without success?? TAYLOR has a terrible bowling average in tests of over 34.. kemar roach has an average of 27 after 80 matches , kemar is skilled at this moment and much better than Taylor and Benjamin.. the only bowler who took more wickets per deliveries than Garner is Marshall. Doesn't matter how skilled someone claims to be, it's who performs the best.

[@irvinelawrence2733]

You ever heard of Roy Gilchrist? Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith? Patrick Balfour Patterson or Sylvester Clarke? Is Kemar Roach left out because he still playing? Croft is too high...

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Yes, we didn't want to include active players in our list. that's why Roach was left out. But some of the other names could perhaps come in for Benjamin and Taylor, which just depends on the point of view.

[@irvinelawrence2733]

WE'LL have to do another video for that I guess..lol but check our quickest WI bowlers of all time video.

Wess Hall was way better that Ian Bishop and Jerome Brown, and Heuton Dowe should be on this list!

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thanks for your feedback. Some great suggestions there.

[@jerome4038]

The knock on Winston was he would change the delivery having beat the batsman with the previous ball he would ease the pressure on batsmen without any rhyme or reason. Shalom

Haha, sometimes I wonder what goes through a bowlers head..lol

What happen to Wes Hall Charlie Griffiths Keith Boyse Bernard Julian Patrick patterson

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Some wonderful players. I think we should do a top 20 list to fit all these great bowlers in? Thoughts?

[@mustafac9136]

Wrong Roberts was ok but not on marshalls wavelength

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Cant disagree there, the reason Andy Roberts is # 1 for us is because he set up the legacy of WI fast bowling that was to come. He was the master for his students.

West Hall instead of Winston Benjamin

That's the community consensus, it seems. Great suggestion.

I believe you two are young..Wes Hall not included???? Poppycock😊

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Perhaps Wes Hall should have been in there over Winston Benjamin. Thank you for watching and being part of our community 😊

[@ianbynoe6515]

Take out Benjamin, Taylor and replace them with hall, Griffith or clark. Then your list is perfect. Dont forget your title, you said fast bowlers. Benjamin and Taylor were medium pacers.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, any of the names you mentioned could have made the list. Our main criteria was looking at the skillset first and then pace. We will do a ranking of fast bowlers with pace as the main criteria in the near future.

[@malidan1196]

Benjamin and Taylor 9 and 10 😂😂😂😂 These guy don't know what they are talking about . Windies has a battery of bowlers better through the 70'and 80's 90's No mention Hall, Griffith, Sobers ,Roach, Holder, Boyce , Patterson, Clarke Daniels

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your feedback. Some wonderful names you mentioned there.

[@christopheroliver571]

Winston Benjamin would not make my list. Macko is #1 Wesley Hall should be on the list. Roach has to be on the list. 261 wickets. Surviving injury and still playing.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Roach is an active player, so we didn't consider him. As of Wes Hall, you are correct, he could have come in for Benjamin.

[@TumeshwarBasdeo]

I would put Sylvester Clarke at number 10 instead of Winston Benjamin

[@thereversescoopUSA]

That would be a reasonable pick. Would you make any other changes to the list?

[@churchillsmythe4284]

Marshall and Ambrose are 1 and 2 or 2 and 1...

[@sheldonmanning5216]

Benjamin and Taylor in front of Hall and Gibbs? Pure madness! Marshall at number 2? More madness. Roberts was very good, better than Marshall? Nah!

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your feedback. Make sure to check put our other rankings on West Indies fast bowling.

[@zeptongreaves5738]

Totally disagree with list! Marshall has to be #1 Ambrose #2 . Peterson, West Hall and someone you guys don’t know much about is Frank Mason from St.Vincent has to be in the top ten. When West Indies went to England in the Fifties Peter May met them at the air port and his first Question was where is the tall guy from the Windwards Frankie said he didn’t make it. His reply was that the first mistake you made.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Wow, thank you for that great insight

[@zeptongreaves5738]

My list would be: Marshall, Ambrose, Holding, Roberts, Croft, Walsh, Garner, Bishop, F. Mason,and W. Hall. Sorry l couldn’t find room for Gilchrist and Peterson.

[@thereversescoopUSA]

What a great list. Thank you for watching and being part of our community 😊. Make sure to check out our other ranking videos on WI cricket.

[@keithphillip8538]

Marshal … Ambrose….Roberts/Croft…Holding….Garner…Walsh….Not sure Taylor and Benjamin would be in my 10. I’ll find a place for Wes Hall. Bishop’s stress fracture robbed him of greatness. He raced to 100 test wickets in record tests , after not bowling in his first test which was washed out, even with great bowler in the team but recurring back injury had the last say 😢

[@thereversescoopUSA]

Thank you for your insightful comment, your list makes perfect sense, and as you mentioned the consensus within the community is the Benjamin and Taylor probably dont fit. Thank you for being part of our community and don't forget to check out our other videos on WI rankings.
