Join Damien Fleming for a Bowlology deep dive into the greatest touring fast bowlers to visit Australia since 1979. From the swing kings to the relentless enforcers, Flem breaks down what made these quicks so dangerous on Aussie wickets.
Featuring legends including:
🏏 Wasim Akram – the Sultan of Swing who made the Kookaburra talk
🏏 Ian Bishop – pace, bounce and perfect wrist position
🏏 Curtly Ambrose – the silent assassin who terrorised Australian top orders
🏏 Jasprit Bumrah – the modern master with an unplayable skill set
🏏 Richard Hadlee – the great technician who could dismantle any batting lineup
Expect stories, analysis, a few scars from past encounters… and plenty of classic Bowlology humour.
