Quickest part time bowler

[TheJediBrah]

Craig McMillan could bowl the odd quicker ball.

This would be the quickest mentioned IMO. Steve Waugh was a genuine all-rounder back when he bowled a bit so don't think he qualifies.

McMillan used to bounce people out

 

[TheJediBrah]

Blewett a really good shout. Definitely quicker than many would initially think

Was bowling very well around 2002-03 when he was trying to get into the ODI team as an all-rounder, reckon he hit 130. Missed out on the WC squad by a whisker IIRC it was between him and Symonds for that replacement spot and Symonds just got the nod.

Would you consider Ted Dexter part time?

Mark was quicker than Steve but never appeared to take it that seriously

Basically just walked back to where he felt okay and then ran in

Good enough to open bowling for NSW

I thought of Andre Russell but he's a genuine allrounder so wouldn't qualify. It is just that he looks like a part-timer when he gets the ball and starts his run up. He's genuinely fast.

 

[Prince EWS]

Blewett immediately came to mind but he's already been mentioned. Jesse Ryder was properly sharp at times.

Greg Mail was randomly quick for a wicket keeper - he eventually gave up keeping and became a regular bowler in grade cricket instead though.

He’s as fragile as house of cards.

Martin Crowe was apparently pretty quick in his younger days (well before he injured his knee).

Fast though

Martin Crowe was apparently pretty quick in his younger days (well before he injured his knee).

I watched highlights of the 1985/86 series in Australia and Crowe honestly looked more like a proper bowler than Martin Snedden. Better run up, action, looked quicker and more athletic.

Scotty the Hotty after his knee went became a part timer but sent it down in the 130s seam up still. Then he blew the knee again and returned for the 07 World Cup bowling strictly 115-120s with a lot of cutters.

abdul razzaq in ricky ponting international cricket 2005 bowls 155kph.

 

[the big bambino]

Saw Gooch hurry up Mark Waugh one time in Brisbane.

 

[honestbharani]

Dwayne Smith and Wavell Hinds used to hit early to mid 130s kph pretty consistently.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Calling Dwayne Smith a part timer is a bit harsh

 

[Blenkinsop]

Garry Cosier, Ken Mackay, are 2 names that come to mind. Shane Watson maybe another

Shane Watson was a 140kph+ bowler early in his career but I wouldn't have called him a part timer. Ditto Craig White.

Thread is an absolute shambles, most bowlers mentioned weren’t part timers at all and seem to have been mentioned specifically because they were slow (and so seemed less like ‘real bowlers’), so basically the opposite of what the thread’s about.

 

[Starfighter]

I'd have gone for Bill Edrich, but he'd be borderline with allrounder, so not sure.

Garry Cosier, Ken Mackay, are 2 names that come to mind. Shane Watson maybe another

Cosier wasn't quick, and having just watched a couple of hours of '61 Ashes highlight I'd say Slasher (aside from being an allrounder rather than part-timer) was definitely slower than Dexter.

This is accurate. Ganguly, Kohli and Cosier are probably among the slowest seam up bowlers I've ever seen

Crowe certainly looked a very useful bowler in his younger days, but you're setting the bar low by comparing him to Snedden, who looked a like a grade third seamer.

Yet another thread where the answer is Jadeja.
