Fast bowlers

Postby OnSong » Mon Oct 18, 2010 12:07 pm

It has always bugged me how fast bowlers at international level are classified.
For instance, Jason Gillespie, Darren Gough, Wasim Akram etc were all classed as medium-fast.
Why is that? How do you distinguish between fast and medium fast?

The only bowlers I remember being classed as fast were Lee, Akhtar, Steyn, Johnson and Tait.
Right in front of me. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

I guess it would be average speed

ala 145+ would be a fast bowler
145-140km would be a fast medium
140-135km would be a medium fast
135-130km would be medium

A certain Alan Donald, may feel left out, when you go back to the Gough, Akram vintage. Maybe Shane Bond too. ;)

I've seen them classified like this (Using Australia's current squad members as examples)-

Fast- 145km+ (Shaun Tait)
Fast Medium- 135km-144km (Doug Bollinger)
Medium Fast- 125km-134km (Shane Watson)
Medium- 115km-124km (Mike Hussey)

and if you want to take it further,

Slow Medium- 105km-114km
Slow- 95km-104km (Hence Slow Left Arm)

Nice video MP but you can't really rate him and that wicket in a topic about BOWLING SPEEDS. That's just one of those freakishly bad things that only cricket can produce, nothing more.

Wasn't that just a long hop from a leg spinner?

Yes it was, you see it all the time, in every level of cricket. Carl Hoopers catch was the actual highlight.
