Raw Pace but Sprays It All Over

[slowfinger]

I don't remember ever seeing Devon Malcolm as he was but seeing him on Youtube and his career statistics surely has to be #1. Or was he really poorly captained ?

A lot of tests against arguably Australia’s best ever batting line up didn’t help his average.

I've just been re-reading Michael Atherton's autobiography. He felt that Malcolm was badly treated by some of the coaches and selectors, and it undermined his confidence. Whereas Chris Lewis for example was just impossible to captain effectively.

Mark Taylor rated him as fast as anyone he faced when he was on song. I think M Waugh said the same

For a non-atg example, Mark Wood the past few years has been genuinely express without spraying it around too much.

It's just the areas he's good at hitting aren't the best areas for taking wickets.

He's improved.

Haris Rauf is still not proven at test match level though

What's changed? Did he lose his pace or did he stop spraying it all over? I haven't seen him bowl for a little while.

From what I have seen in the MLC, there's hardly any spraying going on from him. The dude hits the bat really hard.

Fair enough. Seems to have gone the journey every game there but T20 can be high variance like that.

Yeah, it's the nature of the game. Last night, Jason Roy tore into him...but he eventually got the last laugh, dismissing Roy with a slower delivery.

It's the first time that he actually got Roy's wicket in any game. His celebration was over-the-top. Speaks volume

Fiery allegedly bowled 140+. When asked to prove it in person by @HeathDavisSpeed he of course chickened out but who knows? The man had two degrees after all.

I found this thread in the end. Truly abysmal posturing from Fiery.

Dushmantha Chameera and Lahiru Kumara , I hope they can remain fit and focus more on accuracy, they often get carried away bowling 150+ , when they get it right they can be tough to handle .

Umran Malik is nothing but pace atm

I thought of Van Troost straight away upon seeing this thread - didn't he 'famously' injure Jimmy Adams?

Also a 'memorable' beamer in a match on TV back in the day. No danger of that bouncing!!

Couldn't troost him to bowl a hoop down a hill
