This is a celebration of the "fast men" of cricket, each with his own depth of craft and guile. The book deals not only with the fastest, those blessed with express speed, but the pacemen who relied more on swing and cut, taking the reader through a century of pace bowling from every major cricket playing nation - the West Indies, India, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, England, Australia and even a bowler from the USA.
