New Zealand speedster Lockie Ferguson is famous for picking wickets in the middle overs. With his high speeds and excellent accuracy, he doesn't allow the batsmen to settle at the crease. Ferguson has so far taken 36 wickets in 21 one-day internationals. He is one of New Zealand's best fast bowlers and just needs to work on his consistency.

In his short career, he has troubled multiple world-class batsmen with his impressive speed. Ferguson is regularly bowling in the 140s. He can even bowl the ball at speeds of more than 150 kmph. He's considered to be very aggressive, and he does not concede many runs during his spells.

Short pitch bowling is the greatest strength of Ferguson, and he utilizes it well to take wickets. As he is still relatively young and with his pace being natural there is always a chance for his speed to increase.
