 Topic: Fast mediums and medium fastsPosted: 19 January 2007 at 11:55pm |

Are these two different types of bowlers because in cricket captain they have two different types of bowlers for the medium fasts/fast mediums. If there is a difference could someone please give an example of a fast medium bowler and a medium fast bowler. And also if they are different which one is faster?

I am also bit puzzle about and also the fast men, as example some one like Flintop is rated as fast (he is bowling arround 140Km/ph). Som bowlers operating in same speeds are rated as medium fasts or fast mediums

In the game cricket captain RMF/LMF bowlers bowl at speeds of 70 - 79 mp/h or 113 - 129 km/h. RFM/LFM bowlers bowl at speeds of 80 - 89 mp/h 129 - 145 km/h. So Fast medium bowlers are faster than medium fast bowlers.

This is a completely false distinction. I would suggest it is only relevant in games like cricket captain.

Fast mediums are quicker than medium fasts. People like vaas are classed as medium fast while people like say D powell who bowls around like 81 - 86. It ain't wise to say what they are though as they tend to change what pace they bowl through out the match so lets just call them all pacers.

Precisely. In real life cricket it is a false distinction. Vaas is very good example.

But fast mediums have a short run up in the game and medium fasts have a long one, I assumed it was the other way round.
MP, that website is rubbish. John Lewis bowls around 78mph and is considered a medium pacer. |

there's no point in FM and MF, they're basically the same thing
