A Quote by Shahid Afridi

Fast bowling is not an easy job. Especially if you are also a batsman as well as being a fast bowler, a fast bowler has to work harder than any other cricketer on his fitness.

Bowling in sub-continental conditions is not easy for a fast bowler. You have to be consistent and persistent to succeed, especially when you are bowling to the likes of Sangakkara, Mahela, Samaraweera, and Dilshan.

S. Sreesanth

Green wickets. That is why everybody wants to be a fast bowler instead of being a spinner or a batsman.

Wasim Akram

If you've got one bowler - particularly a fast bowler - who is really aggressive, all over the opposition, he brings the rest of the team along with him.

Glenn McGrath

If you ask me, a batsman has very few opportunities as compared to a bowler. A bowler knows, if he gets hit for a six or a boundary, he has another delivery left to get back and take a wicket. For a batsman, one loose shot, and you are out. A bowler will always have 24 opportunities.

Gautam Gambhir

There's little that's subtle about Hardus Viljoen - he's a broad-chested, broad-shouldered fast bowler, who simply trundles up to the wicket and hurls it down as fast as possible.

Jonathan Agnew

It is one thing being scrutinised for playing a bad shot as a batsman or bowling a bad spell as a bowler, but the captaincy adds an extra dimension. The criticism is slightly harder to take.

Andrew Flintoff

How many diamonds can you retrieve from one single mine; there has to be an end somewhere. I don't see any natural fast bowler after me.

Shoaib Akhtar

As a fast bowler if you're not going to bowl well on a Perth wicket you're going to struggle in Australia.

Glenn McGrath

One of my aims is to be the fastest and regarded as the best fast bowler in the world.

Fidel Edwards

For a fast bowler, not much stress goes through my body.

James Anderson

When I started playing cricket, I knew that my physique is not at all like a typical fast bowler. My body language is also different, and I am not aggressive by nature; thus, my focus was always on my skills.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The Flash could do everything twice as fast. Except you never saw him think twice as fast or speak twice as fast. Could he do math faster than the other superheroes? Could he compute the tip for the bill twice as fast?

Ira Glass

Whether you're a batsman, bowler, or an all-rounder, fitness is tough if you follow your regimen religiously.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Zen is a very fast path to enlightenment, fast in comparison to some other paths, not fast for the person who practices it. There is no sense of speed.

Frederick Lenz

Walking was not fast enough, so we ran. Running was not fast enough, so we galloped. Galloping was not fast enough, so we sailed. Sailing was not fast enough, so we rolled merrily along on long metal tracks. Long metal tracks were not fast enough, so we drove. Driving was not fast enough, so we flew. Flying isn't fast enough for us. We want to get there faster. Get where? Wherever we are not. But a human soul can only go as fast as a man can walk, they used to say. In that case, where are all the souls? Left behind.
