5 bowlers who bowled with extreme pace despite having an unusually short run-up

#4 Craig White

Craig White

England's former all-rounder Craig White was a fixture in the side in the late 1990s and early noughties.

He played 30 Tests and 51 one day internationals for England and was a vital cog in the team's bowling attack. White bowled from a short run up and it almost looked as if that he was going to deliver tepid medium pace, but his bowling had genuine venom as far as pace was concerned, which is why he was often asked to bowl first change by the captains under whom he played.

His average speed was around 90 miles per hour and in addition to that, his action was slingy which made life difficult for the batsmen.

With the older ball, White had the ability to generate reverse swing as well and that coupled with his pace made him a pretty difficult customer to face.
