The West Indies have had plenty of super fast bowling duos, but it would have been a delight to watch two of their greatest fast bowlers, Andy Roberts and Curtly Ambrose, work together.

Batsmen would not have enjoyed it very much - while Roberts had fearsome pace, swing, a variety of bouncers, and the intelligence to identify a batsman's weakness early, Ambrose could simply blast into batsmen with his seam movement, bounce and the ability to cut the ball off at a good length.

Considering their sterling records across two different eras, they would have made a truly fearsome fast bowling duo if they had ever bowled together.
