Summary

Intimidation. Cunning. Distain. The greatest pace bowlers have an arsenal of weapons at their disposal. Australian quicks have perfected the art of helping to re-arrange batsmen's rib-cages and life-priorities. Death stares and old-fashion lip are used in combination with explosive pace, tactical guile and the ability to make the ball do unprecedentedly vicious things. The Quicks profiles the most successful, frighteningly-fast and charismatic Australian bowlers to ever terrorise the Poms... and every other cricketing nation. From Lillee and Thomson, to McGrath, Johnson and the modern menace of Stark, Cummins and Hazelwood, author Robert Drane tells the stories of the men who have captivated the Australian sporting public
