10 bowlers from the 90s era who we would have loved to watch in the IPL

#10 Courtney Walsh

Courtney Walsh hung his boots after claiming more than 500 test wickets

For becoming the first bowler to break the barrier of 500 test wickets, Courtney Walsh’s name will be etched in the annals of cricket history forever. Walsh was one of the very few silver linings for the West Indies team of the 1990s that fell to bottomless depths from stratospheric heights. Since his debut in 1984, the Jamaican always remained a vital cog in the wheel of the West Indian bowling attack.

By the time the former Windies skipper called it a day in 2001, Walsh had bowled a whopping 5000 overs in test cricket in a career that spanned 17 years which is a testimony to his immense physical stamina. Along with Curtly Ambrose, Walsh formed one of the best bowling partnerships ever.

Walsh claimed 227 wickets in 205 ODIs and 519 wickets in 132 tests. The numbers clearly demonstrate that Walsh enjoyed greater success in tests than in ODIs. However, Walsh was one of those very few bowlers who could boast of an economy rate of less than 4 in ODIs, which would have made him a hot property in the IPL.
