Fire in Babylon - a film on West Indies cricket in the 1970s and 1980s releases in India on Friday. Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan, who faced some of the best West Indian fast bowlers during his playing career, talks to Clayton Murzello about how the Caribbean quicks crushed body and spirit with their searing pace putting the best out of business, and what it took to take them on. More from Mid-Day.
You faced them all - Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Colin Croft, Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall. Who was the complete fast bowler?
On his day, no one could beat Michael Holding. He was out and out the most devastating fast bowler ever. When he was on song, I can say he was the best fast bowler ever seen. Number two… Malcolm Marshall. He was a complete fast bowler too.
