My Take
Courtney Walsh is a bowler I hold in genuine reverence. Two decades representing the West Indies, captaincy in 22 Tests, and that legendary opening partnership with Curtly Ambrose mark him as an all-time great. What strikes me most is his endurance, the relentless, metronomic threat he posed to batsmen across eras. Cricket rarely gets attention in Japan, but greatness of this order transcends borders. The Wisden honour and the Order of Jamaica feel almost like footnotes to a career that simply refused to fade. A model of longevity and quiet ferocity.
