In my other poll, Sobers is leading comfortably in regards to who is the greatest ever West Indies cricketer.

Now who do all you think is the greatest ever West Indies bowler?

For me it just had to be Mikey - an absolutely fantastic bowler and a Derbyshire man to boot.

Can we have a poll so I can vote for Lawrence Rowe too?

Marshall is arguably the greatest fast bowler ever and hence I consider him to be the greatest West Indian bowler as well.

Oh absolutely! They are both beyond mere polls, in that zone where no ordinary mortals dare trespass...:lol: :lol: :lol:

Its amazing how many great fast bowlers WI have produced, Holding, Roberts, Garner, Ambrose, Hall, Marshall are all number one in my opinion, very difficult to choose between them. Even bowlers like Croft, Clark, Walsh are pretty damn good.

For me its Curtley mon.
Just gets it over Malcom Marshall , I really cant split those two but I saw more of Ambrose so I'll go with him.

no doubt in my mind that Marshall was the best WI's bowler...and by quite a margin as far as I am concerned

Marshall, then (in no particular order) Ambrose, Roberts, Holding Garner, Croft (under-rated IMO), Hall, Griffith, Walsh.

Malcolm Marshall for mine is the best bowler ever from any country, so therefore takes the title for best Windian bowler.

As for who is second best, you're not losing much whether you choose Holding, Garner, Ambrose, Roberts, Hall or Walsh......

I'd probably take Garner for his pure consistency. (Never failed to wicket in a test match and from memory only had a dozen or so where he failed to take 3).
