Yeah, Walsh was seen as kind of average for a WI quick in the early 90s.
are you sure?

Graham Gooch played test cricket for 22 years till the age of 42. Jayasuriya played one day cricket for 22 years till the age of 42. So Tendulkar is not that old in terms of age for international cricket.

Yeah, Courtney was amazing at the end of his career, especially when you consider that Ambrose wasn't always available (due to injury and then retirement). He averaged under 21 in his last 30 test matches (21 of which were played against Australia, South Africa and Pakistan).

Spot on. What a weaponAmong fast bowlers, Courtney Walsh has to be a name to be mentioned here
519 test wickets, 1807 FC wickets, 18 years of test cricket - and importantly all that while bowling fast...First line in his cricinfo profile is apt - "A physiological phenomenon, Courtney Walsh probably bowled faster for longer than any man in history."
Still remember those 8-over spells in full flow during summer in sub-continent...and repeated time and again throughout the day...test after test...

doesn't matter if the pitch is flat and has just uneven bounce, coz reverse swing can make all the difference here.
hence for once im expecting zaheer khan to do well
if however he fails here, he's seriously finished too

what baffles me is that why dhoni doesn't bat like this in the death overs of an ODI etc..
is it due to fear of failure..?
