10 most feared fast bowlers in cricket history

#4 Andy Roberts (West Indies)

Roberts was most popular for his bouncers

Andy Roberts is one of the scariest fast bowlers to have set foot on a cricket field. Such was the West Indians fast bowling prowess that he had floored many a batsman in his time. He derived his pace from the extremely powerful pair of shoulders that he possessed and he is also among the best exponents of the bouncer.

However, he did not depend on his pace alone; he also had a shrewd head upon his shoulders. He was one of the first few bowlers in the cricketing world who used the slower delivery to great effect in Test matches as he fooled batsmen who mostly expected a bullet coming out of his hand.

Towards the fag end of his career though, his pace fell off drastically and he was left to rely on the movement he derived off the pitch. But he will always be remembered for being part of an exclusive league of deadly fast bowlers.
