A fast bowler is a type of cricket player who specializes in delivering the ball at high speeds. Their primary goal is to outpace the batsman, making it difficult for them to hit the ball effectively. Fast bowlers use a combination of speed, bounce, and swing to challenge the batsman, often aiming for the stumps or the edges of the bat. Fast bowlers typically run in from a distance to generate momentum before releasing the ball. They can be categorized into different types, such as fast-medium and express fast, depending on their bowling speed. Notable fast bowlers include legends like Shane Warne and Brett Lee.
