Quickest part time bowler

[Jayro]

I think Mark waugh used to bowl with a decent pace, other then him who do you think has played in a team primarily as a batsman and had a good pace to his bowling?

There’s another dude from Bangladesh, played mostly as a batsman, built like a bull.

Ziaur Rahman

 

[Xuhaib]

Mudassar nazar.

Not sure he was really a part timer especially in the 2-3 Yr period when Imran could not bowl and played as just a batter Muddy was the designated all rounder in that period.

Matt Wade. Don't know if it was anomaly but he got up to 82-83mph when (very briefly) bowling v SL many years ago. Not sure how much to read into it and whether he could sustain that

More seriously, wasn't Steve Waugh quite sharp when he first started out? I have no tangible evidence but anecdotally I've heard he was slippery and used to bowl quick bumpers

 

[Tom Flint]

Seen mccullum and Dhoni get it down quite quick

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Craig McMillan could bowl the odd quicker ball.

I think when Steve Waugh was quick, he wasn’t a part timer, and by the time he became dibbly dobbly he was.

Didn’t Greg Blewett bowl in the 130s?

Young Jesse Ryder bowled low 130s pretty effortlessly. Craig McMillan had a phase of bowling 130kph bouncers but within a few years was down to 115-120.

Marlon Samuels at times used to hit 130 km/h

Yeah but wasn't he more like a fairly regular bowler, part time thrower

[ParwazHaiJunoon]

Boom Boom!

Younis Khan was also fast medium pacer.

 

[JBMAC]

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

Jimmy Anderson

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