We all have that one bowler on the international circuit who absolutely terrifies you, gives you sleepless nights and you fear may well murder you given half the chance.

For me, Dale Steyn is that guy. The man has no soul, he gives me nightmares which I could probably seek counselling for.

Then again, that is probably why I play club cricket and not international cricket. (apart from the obvious).

Who is your nightmare?

Same.

That guys has everything and I'd certainly not be seen on the same wicket as him. I'd just refuse

Steyn would be tough but I'd have worse nightmares about Morkel.  At least at Steyn's height the short one has to be proper short, where as Morkel can get it up nastily from just back of a length.

If brett lee was running in when he was in his prime i would be tempted to hit my wickets!!

[compstallcc]

i think Johnson if he is bowling like he currently is, slingy action would be hard to pick up too

[mussaduq]

One name only, Shoaib Akhtar !

[The_Bird]

Malcolm Marshall would've been hideous to face i'd imagine.

I played a second eleven game against tymal mills at Essex and although he isnt really "on the international stage" the lad has serious serious pace!!

Wouldnt fancy facing Tait on a juicy one either... if he doesnt know where its going how is the batsman supposed to!

I faced Luke Wright in a county 2nd XI game... He was clocking close to 90mph and because he is short, it is horrible!

[toenails97]

That bowler would be Mitchell Johnson, he's rapid then again as is dale steyn

[Gerry SA]

Marchant de Lange for me.

Bowls 150-155kph. But unlike Morne Morkel, who bowls to short, de Lange bowls fuller and gets alarming bounce.

I've kept wicket to both of them and Mills would definitely be my choice

Warne as he would make me look like a muppet,

a fella at our club 2seasons ago was at Durham for a while and I netted with him just before he was going to be viewed by the coaches there to decide of they wanted to keep him, he was bowling avg 85mph and that was serious brown pants time, a great experience but serious pace and he wasn't the tallest so everything was waist to rib cage height.

Funny but when I kept to him it never seemed to bad from my point of view but that was the only time I faced him bowling full pace, he was even chirping me to get himself going,

[ajmw89]

Someone like Michael Beer or Xavier Doherty... Would have to hang myself if they got me out!

Big Bird Joel Garner... Big, fast and unforgiving.... Or Curtly Ambrose
