Best Fast Bowlers

[ElwoodBlues1]

I was a bit of a cricket tragic as a kid but went off it a bit after the World Series cricket.
Nowadays I hardly watch it.
As a youngster I enjoyed watching the 'Demon' Fred Spofforth
But the player who had the most impact was Lillee.

John Snow terrorised us in one series early in the 70s and was probably the most impressive opposition player while I was watching.

Agree on Snow, I had a copy of his book " The Art of Bowling"  when I was a kid and it was the most practical useful cricket book I ever read in terms of grips on the ball, getting your runup right and having your body in the right position to bowl every type of delivery whether you were a spinner, medium pacer or fast bowler.
He had a deadly bouncer, was hated by Aus crowds with one spectator grabbing Snow on the boundary and then tried to remonstrate with him .He was a nasty bloke with a cricket ball in his hand. I think he hit Terry Jenner in the head from memory and finished Bill Lawry's career. Jimmy Anderson might go down as maybe the greatest English quick in terms of wickets, tests played etc but he wasnt/isnt half as good as Snow was imho.
