Pace bowling
Pace bowling is a style of cricket bowling where a bowler delivers the ball at high speeds, typically over 80 miles per hour, aiming to challenge the batter with speed and movement. The goal is to generate enough pace to make it difficult for the batsman to predict and time their shot, often combined with variations like swing or seam movement to deceive the batter. Pace bowlers rely on strength, rhythm, and precision to maintain consistent speed and control, creating pressure that can result in wickets or boundary breakthroughs.
