Raw pace and nastiness to go with it

Jo Doors was Rapid come to think about it when I faced him about 11-12 years ago, a little nasty with it as well from memory, probably my fault for chirping him as a mouthy cocky teen lol

Lopsy Tsotsobe. In a recent ODI against the Netherlands he was bowling well over 150kph in the nets.

Also I heard the bloke who was running them around and looking after the teams kit saying that he needed the biggest abdo guard he'd ever seen.

Big Bird Joel Garner... Big, fast and unforgiving.... Or Curtly Ambrose
Have to agree with this. Curtly - 90+ mph and at 6'7, eek...

Malinga. Don't fancy 85mph 'slingers' and can mix it up with the short ball and very fast, accurate yorkers.

When did you play against him? He was at Bickley with me for a while. I remember going down to St Lawrence after a week of 30 degrees to find a wet, slow, low green one!!!!

Malinger as I would hate another broken toe caused by an inswinging Yorker.
Or Steyn as he is the best bowler for a reason!
Also would have hated to face Warne as I wouldn't have had a Scooby how to play him!

any of the west indies bowlers from the 80's. They could put it on a good length and make it bounce at your chest. Self preservation for me.

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,

Did this chap move up North to Warks by any chance?

Was a fair few seasons ago, about 2003 or so I would have thought. May have even been against Bickley Park to be honest.
