	Fast bowling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		It is possible for a bowler to concentrate solely on speed, especially when young, but as fast bowlers mature they pick up new skills and tend to rely more on swing bowling or seam bowling techniques.
		Fast bowling differs fundamentally from spin bowling in that the bowler does not use particular finger or wrist motions to impart spin to the ball.
		Fast bowlers are generally given the task of opening the bowling with a new cricket ball.

	Types of bowlers in cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pace bowlers rely mostly on the speed of the ball to dismiss batsmen, whereas spin bowlers rely on the rotation of the ball.
		Bowlers in the slow and slow-medium range are non-existent in professional cricket as a batsman will find it very easy to hit the ball at that speed.
		Swing bowlers are pace bowlers who, apart from being fast, use the seam of the ball to make it travel in a curved path through the air.

		The basic fast bowling grip to achieve maximum speed is to hold the ball with the seam upright and to place the index and middle fingers close together at the top of the seam with the thumb gripping the ball at the bottom of the seam.
		Bowlers who persistantly run onto the pitch can be warned, with three warnings disqualifiying a bowler from bowling again during the innings.
		Swing bowlers attempt to cause the ball to move while it is in the air instead of off the pitch like a seam bowler.

	GPSports - Fast Bowlers & Injury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Four elite fast bowlers were classified as either front-on or side-on based on the angle of their rear foot and the alignment of their shoulders, both in relation to the direction down the centre of the pitch, and both at the time of back foot impact (BFI) at the beginning of the delivery stride.
		Foster et al.(1989) defined a front-on bowler for the purpose of classification as one having a shoulder alignment >200* at BFI or front foot impact (FFI) and a side-on bowler being one having a shoulder alignment <190* at BFI or FFI.
		Therefore a young fast bowler is more likely to develop a fracture in one or both sides of the pars interarticularis (spondylolysis) due to the nature of fast bowling where the trunk experiences high degrees of lateral flexion, hyperextension, and rotation (Elliott et al.,1992).

	Cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bowler delivers the ball toward the batsmen, using what is known as a bowling action: the elbow may be held at any angle and may bend further, but may not straighten out during the action.
		Bowlers must release the ball with their entire back foot and some part of the front foot inside the area bounded by the creases to prevent it from being called a no-ball.
		Kwik cricket is a form of the sport where the bowler does not have to wait for the batsman to be ready before a delivery, leading to a faster, more exhausting game which is often used in school PE lessons.

		Fast bowlers with a history of back injuries should particularly avoid landing with a braced front leg because of the impact loads transmitted to the lower lumbar region (Portus et al., 2004).

		The tolerance levels were set based on a number of studies done on fast, fast-medium, slow, and spin bowlers, not only on fast bowlers.
		The bottom line is that in the case of fast bowlers anything under 10 would not be noticeable to the naked eye.
		The ICC is not stretching the law to accommodate fast bowers, it is only recognising that research has shown that the stresses placed on the body of a fast bowler reasonably call for a certain level of tolerance.

		That usually meant two fast bowlers, a medium pacer who was usually the allrounder and two spin bowlers, five specialist batsmen and the wicketkeeper.
		The four pronged pace attack was most successful when there were four fast men, truly fast bowlers, who could be rotated so that they were as frightening at the end of the day as they were at the start.
		Batsmen too, had been playing an increasing number of fast bowlers and while speed was still a potent weapon, technique against it improved and the four pacemen would only be successful, if the four were of the highest class.

		All fast bowlers like seeing the batsman at the other end of the pitch, ducking and weaving due to the pace of an express delivery.
		However, England captain of the time Douglas Jardine, was able to present the coveted Ashes, back to the men of the Long Room at the MCC by using the Bodyline method.
		But, when you have a pair of champion fast bowlers to lead your attack, there is, as long as injury doesn’t interfere, a great basis for a dominant team.

	Glenn McGrath
		Glenn McGrath (born 9 February, 1970) is an Australian cricket player, one of the best fast bowlers in the country's cricketing history, and a primary contributor to Australia's domination of world cricket during the 1990s and into the 2000s.
		Born in country New South Wales, McGrath was picked for his state team in the 1992/93 season, and by the next Australian summer was in the national side.
		Not the quickest bowler, even at the start of his career, he instead relies on unerring accuracy, and the ability to make the ball seam a little off the pitch.

		In the pace versus spin battle for honours, men in the fast lane have stolen a big march over those who practice the tantalizing art of slow bowling in the first two weeks of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
		However, the overall picture that has emerged is that fast bowlers are calling the shots, with the slow bowlers waiting for their day under the sun, which may not be too far away with the wickets affording some turn even as the tournament is fast entering its second phase.

	Fast bowlers await verdict - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au
		A "scary" exhibition of fast bowling from Brett Lee and Michael Kasprowicz's expertise with the old ball means Jason Gillespie's place in the Australian side is in jeopardy, but it appears that only two days out from the first Ashes Test, selectors are yet to settle on the team.
		Both captain Ricky Ponting and West Australian batsman Chris Rogers, whose double century in the drawn first-class match against Leicestershire frustrated the Australians' Ashes preparation, were glowing in their praise of Lee, who seems certain to resume his Test career after 18 months on the sidelines and take the new ball from Thursday.
		Ponting, who stood in the slips for much of Sunday in order to monitor the form of both bowlers, and vice-captain Adam Gilchrist were due to report to the selectors, who must make an agonising decision between two men who have served their country with distinction over a long period of time.

	Crisis as Australia's fast bowlers drop like flies - www.smh.com.au
		As debate rages about the depth of bowling talent after the loss of frontline bowlers Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee and Stuart MacGill, and the wisdom of playing a Test series in October, state squads are battling to find fit bowlers for the start of the domestic season.
		"You can't expect fast bowlers to play Test matches in the middle of July and a few one-dayers, and then have a few months off and then have back-to-back Test matches at the start of the season without having played any first-class matches," he said.
		Hughes said it would have been better for the Australian bowlers if the coming triangular one-day series in India was scheduled as the start of the domestic season.

		Bowlers go into a match thinking they can work it off, but 9 out of 10 times, it makes the injury worse.
		Some bowlers, especially subcon fast bowlers, are also guilty of hiding their injuries, no matter how small, in the fear that they might be replaced for good.

	Fast Men Do Best on Marsh's Fast Track
		Fast bowlers will continue to be fast-tracked in the England set-up.
		And it is now accepted that Test series are won by extremes of pace and spin, that is by genuinely fast bowlers or slow bowlers who turn the ball prodigiously, wrist spinners or unconventional off-spinners.
		Though Marsh had no say in last year's intake and made no profound technical advances with the fast bowlers in his charge, what he did do was toughen them up, both physically and mentally, for the demands of international cricket.

		I am prepared to wager that once Walsh and Ambrose have left the scene and the young bowlers are entrusted (without benefit of safety-net), they will fulfil their true potential.
