Quote:Wisden overview
[size=12pt]It is the stock question for international batsmen. Who is the quickest and nastiest? Graham Gooch did not mind the pace, but he says the only time he has been in fear of his wellbeing was at Sabina Park in February 1986 when, on a grassy pitch, Test debutant Patrick "Patto" Patterson hurtled his inelegant bow-legged way up the hill, thrust his leading leg high, studs at the batsman, stamped down hard enough to measure on the Richter Scale, and, bowling like the devil in front of his home crowd, put the wind up England's finest. He took 4 for 29 on his first day in Tests, 7 for 73 in the match, and for a few years, until his rhythm deserted him (his movement became awkward, and he relied on sheer muscularity), he was as fast as anything in the world and a nasty proposition on pitches offering any pace or lift.

  [left]Rest of the World tour of England, 1968 ;

At Lords  Wes Hall and Peter Pollock achieved fine speed and control.

But the almost unknown Randolph Ramnarace, from Guyana, bowling medium pace swing ,

dismissed Chappell, Walters and Sheahan in quick succession to steal much of the honour.  8) [/left]

well I never knew if he was measured.  and I don't supposes he was the fastest ever.  akhtar was really fast.  but Patto in the discussion fuh sure.  somewhere up  there around 160

did ramnarace ever play a test fuh west indies...or was it Ivan madray?

I always mix up dem 2

Ramnarace was the only UNcapped player ever to play for ROW !

Methink was Colin Cowdrey, whom had spotted his outswingers in Guyana got him in ...

correct is rite, Ketch!! 

Ramnarace was a genuine allrounder, inventor of the reverse swing.  Agile close up fielder too.  I saw him dive and took a catch inches from the batsman BAT on the pitch.
