Fast bowling

Fast bowling is a technique in cricket where bowlers deliver the ball at high speeds, typically exceeding 85 miles per hour (137 km/h). The aim is to outpace the batsman, making it difficult for them to hit the ball effectively. Fast bowlers use a combination of speed, bounce, and swing to create challenges for batsmen. They often employ variations, such as seam movement or yorkers, to enhance their effectiveness. Fast bowlers play a crucial role in the game, as striking out batsmen can change the course of a match and put pressure on the opposing team.
