10 players with the highest number of wickets in Test cricket

#5. Courtney Walsh

Maybe the last great pace bowler produced by West Indies, Courtney Walsh was fast, ferocious and terrifying when on the song. His success mantra was simple, run fast, bowl faster without flinching and bowl in the right areas.

He was a true workhorse who could bowl for long spells without dropping his pace. His fit and steel-like body helped him in delivering sensational performances and the pace bowler enjoyed a long career that spanned for 17 years.

In 242 Test innings, he claimed 519 wickets at an average of 24.44. His bowling partnership with Curtly Ambrose was sensational as the duo was one of the most feared bowling combinations ever assembled in Test cricket.
