5 times tailenders surprised everyone with their batting in Test cricket

#3 Courtney Walsh

Courtney Walsh is still regarded as one of the all-time pace bowling greats, as he has devastated batting lineups with his extreme pace and bounce. He was quite a character on the field, and went on to be one of the most successful captains in West Indian cricket. He took 519 wickets in Test cricket, which stands only second to Mcgrath's 563.

Walsh was always a sitting duck while batting, as he recorded a whopping 43 ducks in Test cricket. However, he did his country proud with the bat, when he helped Brian Lara carry his side home to victory against Australia in Bridgetown during the 1999 tour. Walsh came in with 6 runs required for a win and successfully played out 14 deliveries, as West Indies claimed a remarkable victory that day.
