Speed may be a game changer in cricket. The decreased reaction time enables a fast bowler to scare the batters, make them make an error, and produce edges. Bowlers such as Brett Lee, Shaun Tait, and Shoaib Akhtar made it their mode to break the partnership and dominate a session with the help of pace. But speed does not always make the difference, it is important to manage with control, change of movement with variation. Pace is deadly on its own, when bowlers combine it, as in the case with bowlers such as Dale Steyn and Mitchell Starc, it is even more lethal. However, the fast bowlers also need to take fitness into consideration since bowling at high speeds hurts the body in the long run.
