I am interested in knowing the names of any pace bowlers (i.e. med-fast and above) that bowl off a short or shortish run up please. Interested in any players of the 16 teams in IC10 obviously

If anyone knows of any would be much appreciated if you could post them here please :)

There aren't any. Only medium pacers bowl off a short run up.

Sorry I don't think I was clear in what I was asking. I meant in real life can you list any international pace bowlers who bowl off shortish run ups

thanks

Praveen Kumar? Dimi Mascarenhas? I'm sure there are more too.

Because I am going to update my patch with pace bowlers using a short run up

It's quite disorientating when batting as you are not expecting a 85+ mph delivery off a short run up

It just mixes up the batting and bowling experience :)

Well, I feel Praveen Kumar has got a normal run-up, not short one. I guess Styris and Ryder takes short runups. They are not specialist bowlers though.

One of the commentators from the IPL said about his short run up and when you watch him it is short compared to a Lee or Steyn run up.

Lee and Steyn have good pace and such bowlers normally take longer runup than normal. Remember Shoaib Akhtar?

Zaheer sometimes bowls with a short runup. Remember him bowling throuout the world cup with a shortened runup and yet he was bowling between 135-140 Kmph.
