Slowest West Indian fast bowler

[TheJediBrah]

Has to be a specialist bowler, so no Dwayne Smith, Phil Simmons etc.

Corey Collymore? Ian Bradshaw? Vasbert Drakes? Darren Sammy probably has a strong case if he counts as a bowler

Jason Holder

Adam Sanford was pretty slow from memory

 

[Prince EWS]

Drakes is harsh because he was properly quick when he was younger.

I immediately thought of Sammy but I'm not sure he ever would've played if he couldn't bat.

Shepherd is a good call but I think he may have been picked partly for batting too?

 

[CricAddict]

Dwayne Bravo? His entire bowling was just bowling slower and slower.

 

[Aritro]

Was Sammy always a good bat? I remember him as a terrible bowler who suddenly became a successful white ball all rounder

"Bowling allrounder" even when selected originally.

Probably not any moreso than Sammy. Generally came on first change and bowled a lot of overs (58.5 in an innings once).

I think he counts if he would've been selected at any time if he batted like McGrath, but I'm not sure if that's true for either him or Sammy. "Maybe" for both I think.

Genuine all-rounder, not a bowler

So how about Samuel Badree? Can't bat and always opened the bowling for west indies.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Stop looking for loopholes! Needs to be a seam-up bowler

Can't be a chucker either so no Narine

 

[honestbharani]

I dont think I had seen anyone bowl slower who was supposed to be a "quick" bowler than Adam Sanford.

 

[Migara]

Corey Collimore, Ottis Gibson, Vanburn Holder or Ian Bradshaw

 

[mr_mister]

Kenny Benjamin was considerably slower than his brother Winston Benjamin (no relation). So maybe him though I think Winston was pretty fast so who knows

John Shepherd

Yeah, there were a few contenders in the very late 1960s and very early 1970s.

 

[trundler]

Holder is pretty slow.

Collymore was hitting around 74 mph with the new ball at one stage on a tour of England, Pietersen came down the wicket to him a few times in one innings.
