STORY  of  FEARSOME  FOURSOME --  ROBERTS,  HOLDING,  CROFT  &  GARNER  (later MARSHALL).

Four Quality Fast Bowlers were introduced for the very first time in a Test Cricket Team. Rest is the golden part of the glorious history. At that period (from mid 1970's to mid 1980's) people of many countries who usually don't interested much in cricket or don't like cricket as much as many other sports also used to take part in watching, enjoying, gossiping & collecting news of mighty WEST INDIES  TEAM's Rare & Breathtaking individual talents and their unbelievable team work and success out of fierce passion or keen curiosity or love or respect for this glorious uncertain game. Their presence, their influence, their revered performance, their heroic success are larger than that of our cricketing imagination right now, also much more bigger than that how we see this game now-a-days and even greater than that of their career statistics. Because cricket has evolved and modified a lot under many rules and regulations for the sake of trade and commercial purposes. This high class fast bowling quartet were such exceptionally gifted & extremely revolutionised that they never had to manipulate any situation against any batsman by any kind of sledging. They achieved unbelievable success by dint of sheer talent, skill, attitude, vision and  finally wonderful team work.
