And finally, we enter the shores of the Caribbean. During the 70s and most of the 80s, West Indies had the best bowling attack in the whole world. People still write odes glorifying the great West Indian bowling attack of the bygone days.

While we laud the Ambroses and Walshs, a comparatively lesser known bowling pair was responsible for West Indies winning the inaugural edition of the World Cup.

As a pair, they took 20 wickets in the 5 games they played together—which is an astonishing 40% of the possible wickets they could have taken. Not only that, their sheer pace was the source of immense intimidation for batsmen.
