	Fast bowling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fast bowling, sometimes known as pace bowling, is one of the two approaches to bowling in the sport of cricket.
		The main aim of fast bowling is to bowl the hard cricket ball at high speed and to induce it to bounce off the pitch in an erratic fashion or move sideways through the air, the combination of these factors making it difficult for the batsman to hit the ball cleanly.
		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.

	DM's Explanation of Cricket - Bowling Styles
		Fast bowlers generally hold the ball with the seam vertical, aligned down the pitch, and deliver it so that the ball rotates to keep the seam upright as it travels through the air.
		Bowlers who use a fast bowling style but bowl the ball more slowly are called medium pace bowlers - these are often players included in a team primarily for their batting.
		Fast bowling is generally considered to be when the ball is bowled at speeds in the range 130-150+ km/h.

	The Fast-Medium Bowler: Sports Biomechanics and Technical Analysis Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		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 bowler should have a bowling technique that enables him / her to increase the front knee angle or at worst maintain the front knee angle during the release of the cricket ball.
		The fast bowler should have a bowling technique that enables him / her to flex slightly at FFC, absorbing the high peak GRF's, followed by an increase the front knee angle or at worst maintain the front knee angle during the release of the cricket ball.

	ECB Fast Bowling Match Directives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption have been bowled from the same end.
		He can exceed the maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end.
		If he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast.

	BowlingFans.com: Tom Blasco's Expert Bowling Tips - Fast Feet
		"Fast Feet" is when the feet are ahead of the swing during or at the end of the approach.
		"Fast Feet" may also effect other areas of the bowler's game; dropping the shoulder, inconsistent releases, lack of follow through and inability to stay down with the shot and maintain balance at the foul line in the post position.
		Poor placement in regards to "fast feet" is directly related to the key step - 1st step in a four step delivery and 2nd step in a five step delivery.

	Fast Electrons, Bremsstrahlung, & Bowling
		The theory of relativity and many years of observing fast particles have shown that a particle's velocity can become arbitrarily close to the speed of light as its energy increases, but it cannot reach or exceed the speed of light.
		Despite the high velocity of the electrons accelerated in flares, the bowling ball carries much more energy than the electron because of the tiny mass of the electron compared to that of the ball.
		Since the bowling ball only has up to 10 pins to collide with, it usually retains some of its energy after the collisions and loses the rest of it to the back wall of the alley.

	Seam and Swing Bowling
		With underarm bowling it could not have been of any consequence and we may safely say that it played no part in cricket before the legalisation of overarm bowling in 1864.
		Fast or medium-pace bowlers operated as long as they reasonably could, whereupon, the fielding captain often resorted to negative bowling and field placing with other bowlers until a new ball could be taken again.
		The fast bowler, who had to be satisfied with one new ball in 200 runs in scorching dry heat at Adelaide when the turf was flint hard, not unreasonably thought that he was harshly treated compared with the slow bowler.
