How do fast bowlers achieve such high speeds?

[sportzbuzz]

Fast bowlers are assisted by a combination of strength, technique, and rhythm to bring out high speeds. They all add speed on their run-up, rotation of the body and arm action. This strain is supported with heavy legs and a well-developed core, which can keep the pace and stay steady on the delivery stride. Training, fitness and flexibility are very important too. It is not just about speed because bowlers need to make their delivery lines and lengths and control them.
