Walsh proclaimed king
KINGSTON. Mar 28 (Agencies): West Indies' Courtney Walsh admitted to being drained' after be-coming Test cricket's record wicket-taker of all time.
It had been a long time in coming —16 years, in fact. But Walsh knew Monday was going to be his day to break the world Test wicket-taking record.
"I felt that today was the day.” Walsh said after taking his 435th wicket and eclipsing Indian Kapil Dev's record 16 years after his first international Test. "It was a sigh of re -lief, finally to do it. I've been on a long journey.”
After quickly removing both Zimbabwean openers. Trevor Gripper and Grant Flower. Walsh watched from the outfield as his pace colleagues re -duced Zimbabwe's Innings to ruins and the remaining wicket opportunities became limited.
But Walsh's new captain, fellow Jamaican Jimmy Adams. summoned him for a third spell with two wickets left to fall.
"I said to the skipper that I'd love to bowl, but reminded him the Test match comes first and we need to win the game." Walsh said. "But I was very happy when he came up to me and asked me how felt. He showed confidence in me by giving me the ball."
The tension continued as. after a maiden over by Walsh. Franklyn Rose dismissed Bryan Strang at the other end to leave just one Zimbabwe wicket remaining.
Walsh summoned all of his energy and. with the fifth ball of his 16th over, created history with the wicket of Henry Olonga. The dreadlocked Zimbabwean prodded to short leg. where Wavell Hinds latched onto the offering with his left
The paceman was embraced by his teammates and celebrated by kissing the ground.
Walsh, who was given a standing ovation as he led his teammates off the field and was hugged by his mother Joan Wol -laston.
"When the wickets started tumbling it got a bit dicey and 1 wondered would 1 get it." he said, donned In a cap with '435' emblazoned on it.
It was the paceman's third dismissal of the innings, following the wickets of Trevor Gripper, caught behind by Ridley Jacobs for a duck and Grant Flower, taken by Sherwin Campbell at second slip for 11.
Having taken two for 46 in the tourists' first innings of 308 all out. Walsh soon wreaked havoc second time around reducing Zimbabwe to 14 for two.
But he had to wait another four hours before making his mark on history.
Walsh passed the milestone in his 114th Test, some 17 Tests less than former India skipper Kapil, who congratulated the West Indian via phone link from Dubai.
"Records are there to be broken.” Kapil said. "I'm very, very-happy to know Courtney has done it because it's not easy to play for as long as he has con -tinued to do and you have to be very strong-minded person to last that long.
"I have played a lot against him and I'm glad he’s done it.
"When vou break a record it's a time for celebration and I’m happy Courtney has done It in the country where he g:< w up." he added on Sky Snorts.
"I am delighted not only in this performance, but in the amount of tributes that have been paid to him at this time," a beaming Wollaston said. Jamaican Prime Minister PJ Patterson. Sports Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and West In -dies Cricket Board President Pat Rousseau offered their praise, and Dev congratulated Walsh by telephone.
Walsh said he was still focusing on the Test, rather than on extending his new record.
"The most important thing still is winning this Test match." Walsh said. "Once we can win this Test match, then (the record) will be Icing on the cake. 1'11 be a lot more elated then."
Walsh. 37. said he wants to play the upcoming three-match series in Pakistan and in England in the summer, but would not answer when reporters asked how long he will continue in cricket.
"That's as far as I'm looking now." he said. "During England, you can ask that question again."
As soon as Walsh achieved the milestones, congratulatory' messages started pouring in.
'Whenever things don't go well. I've always said 'remember Courtney'." said his grateful captain Adams.
Australian skipper Steve Waugh and his vice-captain Shane Warne Tuesday broke from their own record celebra -tions here to praise Walsh.
Waugh and Warne joined in the praise for the bowler, who made his debut against Australia in 1984-85.
"It's great he's got it. He's well respected and dedicated and it's a great effort for a fast bowler to stay fit and keep going for over a decade." Waugh said.
"He's also a nice fellow so I think a lot of people will be pleased he broke it. He's played It tough and competitive but he's a good man as well."
Warne, who became Australia's most successful bowler earlier this month when he claimed his 356th wicket said Walsh was setting a record that would be tough to beat.
"He's raised the bar and the rest of us have to chase him." Warne said.
"For him to be the No 1 wicket-taker in the history of the game is fair Justice.
"He's an all-time great fellow and an all-time great bowler and I would like to think that we could have a beer or two together when we next catch up.
"He's as fierce as they come on the field but off the field he's a bit of a softie.”
Former England captain Mike Atherton believes Walsh's contribution to Caribbean cricket transcends his technical excellence.
"Returning to the West Indies in 1998. it struck me that Courtney epitomised and car -ried on that tradition of West Indian leaders from the likes of Sir Frank Worrell to Clive Lloyd who put regional solidarity before island rivalry." he said.
"He always troubled me the most." said former England wicketkeeper Jack Russell, a long-time team mate of Walsh at Gloucestershire.
"Ambling in off that smooth run you just don't know when he will produce that 'effort' ball, the one that appears to be bowled with the same action but picks up pace, angling In at the batsman, sending the 'keeper off balance as he tries to get the ball jagging back."
The Jamaican, who played for more than a decade with Gloucestershire and was handed a benefit with the county in 1992, made his Test debut against Australia in November 1984.
Some 15-and-a-half years later, the man who stands more than 6ft 5ins tall, is looking down upon some of the game's all-time greats.
