West Indies have produced some fine fast bowlers over the year. Once they had a formidable pace bowling lineup in form of Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose. They were fast and lethal and always kept their opposition batting lineup in fear. They broke several bones while playing at their peak.

Fidel Edwards

Fidel Edwards is one of those pacers who emerged from the West Indies and is known for his furious pace. Although he wasn’t playing cricket for the national team for quite a while but recently made his international return against Sri Lanka.

Edwards has produced several memorable spells over the years and left batsmen clueless with his sheer pace. Recently, a video of one such ball was going around on the internet where he produced an absolute peach of a delivery.

He is active in County Cricket in England and plays there regularly. The video is from County Cricket, where he bowled a ball, which first moved away in the air before coming back to crash into the stumps. The batsman had no clue where the ball was heading and missed the ball by some distance. He looked at the ball in shock and couldn’t understand what just happened.

The 39-year-old pacer made his international return during the T20I series against Sri Lanka in March. He looked good and is in the scheme of the West Indian board. He will try to cement his place in the playing XI and will target a spot in the team, which will turn up in the T20 World Cup to defend the title.

West Indies won the last T20 World Cup in 2016 and will be hoping to have a successful campaign this time around as well. The tournament is scheduled to take place in India in the October-November window but the ICC is yet to take a final call keeping India’s current coronavirus situation in mind.
