Host Barnaby Read is joined by Ajit Vijaykumar and Joy Chakravarty for this week’s Talking Cricket podcast that zeroes in on the art of fast bowling.

The team share how they first fell in love with quick bowlers, while Joy explains how he used to open the bowling at college, dreaming of making batsmen hop at the crease.

While recalling some of their favourite memories of fast bowlers throughout history, the guys also discuss the evolution of the art.

From the near mythical figures of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s through to the modern balance between three formats of demanding cricket, they also talk injury risks and pose the question; Are there any genuine out and out rapid bowlers these days?

Finally, Barny interviews Pakistan’s Wahab Riaz and the team share their thoughts on the best fast bowler in the world right now.
