Top 10 Best right-arm pacers in cricket history

2. Courtney Walsh (West Indies):

Courtney Walsh is probably the most dangerous fast bowler a batsman has ever faced. The pacers of the then West Indies team were feared on the fields of cricket due to this man. Wisden noted his “three distinct speeds, all delivered with the same action”, and his “sparing use of the bouncer, his shorter deliveries generally threatening the batsman’s rib-cage, a tactic which, allied to change of pace, produced many catches in the short-leg area off splice or glove.” His partnership with Courtney Ambrose was one of the best bowling pairs West Indies has ever had. They both have combined wicket share of 421 wickets when they played together. He himself has a whopping 519 wickets to his name in the 132 Test matches he has played with an average of just 24.44.
