Quick left armers who move it away. Doesn't matter how much I'm in, I always feel I'm fighting to keep my wicket intact.

Don't fear it as such but I don't like people, especially when I play mid-week who come on just bowling at you in order to hurt you!

[Warneymonster]

I have been accused of fear or fast bowling, I have always thought this was because I am offside dominated and look to make room. I admit when I was young I hated pace bowling but I worked hard to get more into line and work it to leg. Now I am solid to pace, I find I am weaker against slow medium swing due to over aggression and being early on the shot.

Now I'm sure a few of you will agree tat we fear getting out to that 13 yr old who's bowling and were trying to smash him put of the park. Mostly because of the stick you know you'll get from your team if you get out to them

The old veteran that bowls slow loopy balls but seems to always appear on the most wickets chart at the end of the season...

I dislike the old veterans also! And guys who bowl the one that looks like it's going down the legside then hoops back in and smacks you on the leg

Bowlers with unorthodox actions. Just can't find any timing with these type of bowlers

[Gingerbusiness]

Kids, OAPs, one-armed bowlers... Anyone which is not 'normal' is usually mocked by team mates!

[AverageCricketer]

We have an off spinner in our team that has an action exactly like Paul Adams. So annoying to face, especially with that slow wrong un he bowls.

[BigBlueMachine]

Left arm over... I struggle with the angle.

Any bowler who consistently puts it on a nagging line and length. Not bothered if fast, medium or slow. I would rather someone fast or does loads with it (swing or spin) as long as I know I'll get that loose ball. I hate getting bogged down and with those bowlers that give you nothing I tend to try and force it and be my own worst enemy.

Seconded.

The blokes that have played on the same track for 30 years and know exactly where to put it, no pace, guile, just on the mark...

[Danny1981]

Slow spinners especially at the start of my innings when my feet seem to refuse to move

Same here. It's a constant battle with temptation to not go for the big hit because some of their deliveries look prime for putting out the ground, but then it comes slower than you think and then bang - caught out...

Don't have an issue with quicks, expect one left arm bowler at our club who is quick and has an action that let's him swing the ball sharply in at right handers. When he pitches it up he's tough to play, but he has a propensity to start pitching it short.

Spin is always a fun challenge early in an innings. But when I get set I become more comfortable with it. I don't get out much to spinners though.
