Best ever West Indies pace bowler in tests?

[mr_mister]

These 9 happen to be the best ever for the West Indies going by test bowling average.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Considering at least 85% of Cricketweb posters would have Marshall as the greatest fast bowler ever I suspect there'll be a lack of suspense in this poll.

Sylvers missing!!!

Marshall > Ambrose > Holding = Garner = Roberts = Walsh

 

[Migara]

Marshall, Roberts, Garner and then the rest of them.

 

[fredfertang]

Marshall > Ambrose > Holding = Garner = Roberts = Walsh

This, after Sylvers, obviously

 

[Zinzan]

Marshall > Ambrose > Holding = Garner = Roberts = Walsh

Almost entirely agree, except Walsh is a whisker below the Robert's group for mine, in spite of his longevity.

 

[kingkallis]

Longevity is the sole reason he made it to that group. It needs serious efforts and fitness for a fast bowler to play 130 tests.

[The Battlers Prince]

Wes Hall was a great bowler, not sure if I'd rate him the best but he was a quick aggressive West Indian

Tino Best

Them's fighting words. I would say it is well under half.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Marshall followed by Ambrose for me.

 

[watson]

Wes Hall winding up against John Edrich and a cool batsman called Brian Bolus who should have played more.

 

[watson]

A little bit of Sylvester Clarke bowling to Graeme Pollock and Clive Rice.

Wish there was more rebel tour footage around.
