My top favorite 3 fast bowlers have been retired from the international cricket, but their actions and deliveries used to be totally cracker!
1. Shoaib Akhtar
Top speed: 161.3 km/h
Shoaid Akhtar constantly bowled over 150 km/h during his career. He used to take a long run up and release the bowl from the top of his hand. It was his action that produced such top speeds. He was the first bowler to reach the speed 100 miles an hour in official ICC match.
2. Bret Lee
Top speed: 161.1 km/h
There was a time when this Australian pacer was the top gun of OZ. When he would come to ball, batsmen used to get terrorized. His bowling action was very simple, smooth and effective.
3. Shane Bond
Top speed: 156.4 km/h
This lad single-handedly destroyed the formidable batting line-up of Australia in 2003 world cup. His smooth run up and bowling action used to be constant threat to batsmen all around the world.
Jusprit Bumrah has a good bowling action. He is one of the dangerous & fast bowlers in the world of cricket.
He has snatched many matches from the opponent team by his bowling skill. He is simply great.
That’s how it has always been. Like since inception, cricket
has been perceived as more appealing than other sports. And with personalities
like that of Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Azhar, Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Dhoni
and more, its popularity only spiked high.
As far the other sports are concerned, in recent times, they
did have climbed up in the spotlight. Like football, MMA, tennis and even
badminton boasts a massive following today. Nothing, however, comparable to
cricket.
Media always focus more on cricket. Sponsors always put more
money in cricket matches. So people get to hear, see more of cricket. And since
more people are watching this sport, more sponsors and media will invest in and
talk about it. It’s like a cycle.
But it’s not bad. We shouldn’t be complaining about it. Like
in Brazil, Soccer is more popular; in USA, Football (rugby) is at the top;
people in Canada obsess Ice Hockey. Every country leans toward particular sport.
