Nortje bowls with a front on action and he goes alright ?

Front on is meant to be easier on your back but it won't allow you to swing the ball away. A lot of the Windies greats were front on bowlers too so being side on isnt essential I agree.
Nortje seems to do it easy too, strolls in first ball at @147k, never looks In a sweat either and was doing laps of the MCG pre game in the heat. He is consistently the quickest bowler in the world by a long way and very fit as well. Think he clocked 155k yesterday in that heat  at one stage which is scary stuff.
If he had a smarter captain who bowled him at the crunch times with good plans he would have even better results.
