Hey Cricket Lovers 🏏, what is your favourite memory of Courtney Walsh?

Underrated Legend of the game. I said underrated as the Current generation barely knows about this legend! Love Courtney's Bowling!

Thanks so much for this celebration of Courtney Walsh's cricket playing career. It's keenly appreciated and was much enjoyed.

He has an amazong record, but top players actually said that they didnt fear him as much as Ambrose, and ambrose was easily the deadlier bowler of the two. This is why he isnt spoken of in the same breath as ambrose, marshall, mcgrath, akram. Very consistent but not threatening

When most fast bowlers (especially those from the West Indies) were concentrating on speed, Walsh was more about accuracy and a the best way to outsmart the batsmen. He was one of the first to use the "three card tricks ," two leaving the batsmen and the third cutting back in to the batsmen. He would also do it in reverse. Two cutting back just outside off and then the third would leave the batsmen just enough to get the edge. Marvelous craftsmanship. No wonder he is one of the best the world has ever seen.

His bowling action was pretty simple and hence more repeatable, he didn't even bend his back all the way through, mainly because he didn't have to due to his natural strength. Always a legend, Walsh! Would love to see a video on Arvinda De Silva as well.

2:32 i watched the match with graham Thorpe . He bowled two balls like this and got him in both innings. The exact same bawl lol. Thorpe was afraid of his bouncers.

I still remember...during my childhood..Best bowling figures in ODIs. C Walsh 5/1 vs Srilanka

The Jamaican legend is known for his deception. Huge respect for his service to WI Cricket...

it was unbelievable how he generated that pace and bounce with such a smooth action. As 90s kids, i tried copying his action, only to find that my bowling speed would turn into that of a leg spinner ...lol

If I had to pick one between Ambrose and Walsh for Tests, I would readily pick Walsh because he has taken a lot more top-order wickets than Ambrose. Also, Walsh was a work-horse that would toil very hard and bowl long spells to provide break-throughs even in unhelpful conditions. An under-appreciated genius! P.S.: For ODI's, I would pick Ambrose ahead of Walsh as he was much harder to score off of...

Walsh and Ambrose were deadly. I remember watching West Indies at edgbaston with the school I went to.

These big tall guys with big hands who generally move the ball into the bat also get leg cut on the ball as a natural variation. With Walsh's height and accuracy that's a nightmare ball to any right hander. That's why I think he did so well in India. Some would slide in and others would grip and move away off the pitch. Tremendous bowling. His short ball also followed the batter and lifted steeply off a length.

I loved his bowling action (overall performance) of Walsh. A fantastic bowler made batsmen think twice before go for a shot. Also, a gentleman of the game. Much love from Sri Lanka

A perfect gentleman in the game of cricket, a dream bowler, a bowler whom I envy. How could be a bowler be so cool never showing any anguish in the field. Love you Walsh.

My all time favourites Walsh And Ambrose.It's Amazing

He is a legend of the game - Absolutely amazing bowler. Much underrated because of the company he was in. Truth be told, he is amongst the best bowlers ever. Played the game with blemish too. 😊👏

I remember watching a young Walsh bowling to Roshan Mahanama.. the stump went and fell near the wicket keeper... fell without a bounce, not rolled

I am break the great Walsh's record with figure of 6/0 in a local tournament in my city

One of the greatest bowler for the west indies cricket team courtney Walsh

His devotion to game of cricket is commendable.

Andy roberts , joel garner ,michael holding , malcomm marshall , curtly ambrose , courtney walsh facing them oh my god !!!! And now kids smashing 3rd grade bowlers and people consider themselves as great 🤣🤣

Real gentleman of cricket.one of all time greats .

The smoothest action after Holding's.

One of the greatest ever Courtney Walsh

How good ? Well, he was given the new ball for the first time a decade after making his debut and by then he was already 31 years old, an age at which most pace bowlers, even the greatest of them, start displaying signs of decline. But in Walsh's case, starting from becoming the new ball bowler and Ambrose's partner-in-crime to being the solitary leader of a pack of young and inexperienced pacers in his penultimate seasons, he took over 300 test wickets averaging 23 in 8 years, 180 of them coming in 39 appearances AFTER he turned 35. He didn't just soldier on, he kept getting better and better right upto the last delivery of his international career, in the process becoming the first to scale the Himalayan landmark of 500 test scalps. That's not at all the mark of a good bowler ? These are the traits of an OUTSTANDING bowler beyond doubt. Only thing going against him is he attained his peak in the aftermath of the downfall of the West Indies as world champions.

One of my all all time great... He had everything & a perfect gentleman cricketer to the core..❤🎉😂🙏🙏

Thank You!

Walsh was a magnificent and high class bowler

A legend among the greats!

Tribute to Cuddy He runs up to the wicket,ball in his hand, This white flanneled knight,Jamaican! Son of the soil,debonair, You are the epitome of who is fair! Sportsman Extraordinaire! Thousands of overs doing task Herculean, Our pride and joy ,this Lionhearted West Indian! Releasing the ball with venomous pace, Accepting disappointments with dignity and grace, Nobel Warrior of the Black Race! With total commitment you’ve bent your back, On bouncy pitches and placid tracks, Endurance rewarded with wickets galore, You insatiable appetite says more and more, Fast bowling Supremo, Champion to the core! From the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean, Your exploits are many,your achievements are grand! But of them all gentleman giant (over 6 feet five!) The one that will stand out as long as I’m alive, Is that DAY AT SABINA, WHEN YOU TOOK 435!

He is no doubt a remarabke cricketer. I can't forget his performance.

Avverage of 20 in indian wickets he is a legend

Walse was a true gentleman of the game

Someone can say he was underrated but for me he was extraordinary for his accuracy

One of the most handsome cricketers too......!

🎉🎉🎉 Great Bowling legend 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bro next video on Brendan Taylor from Zimbabwe

Walsh from one end and Ambrose from the other.......Nightmare.

I like his bowling action

He picked up 5 wickets for one run against srl odi

The silent bowler or should I say a silent great bowler very unassuming.

World no 1 bowler

The commentary is lifted directly from Wikipedia. Sorry boss.

👌👌👍

Curtly ambrose was also good

and and most handsome African man i ever seen, there is some kind DeVine spark in him only south Indians can notice.

Ajanta Winslow Mendis is a better bowler than Courtney Walsh. Ajanta Mendis is a mystery man who is unplayable for the batsmen around the world because he bowls carrom ball. Dial M for Mendis because Mendis is simply the best.

He was great not the greatest. Ambrose was way more.lethal

No consanguinity between audio and video.. weird as creep

Innocent wicket taking bowler.

Could bowl long spells very good bowler but not world class
