Full Pace There's a cricket world cup underway. India is doing quite well, much better than I had expected. It's been many years since I played cricket but I used to be obsessed with the game. While cricket is usually considered to be a batsman's game, I preferred bowling to batting. I was a decent enough fast bowler, modeling my run up and action on the great West Indian pacer, Malcolm Marshall. Watching Marshall bowl and then copying him, I understood why the curved run-up was superior to the straight one for many purposes.
