Re: Need Help : Bowling style ?
Offbreak or Offspin - the ball spins from off to leg stump (i.e. the ball comes into you)
Legbreak - ball spins from leg to off stump (i.e. the ball spins away from you)
Googly - legbreak bowler bowling an off spin i.e. ball spins from off to leg stump
Chinaman - offbreak bowler bowling a leg spin i.e. ball spins from leg to off stump
Fast is classified as 90+mph (145+kph)
Fast-Medium 80-90mph (128-145 kph)
Medium-Fast 70-80mph (113-128 kph)
Medium 60-70mph (97-113kph)
Most pace bowlers are medium-fast to fast in top level cricket. In general, bowlers of this type are described as right arm or left arm “fast”, or right arm or left arm “fast-medium”, and so on. Though Jeff “Thommo” Thomson of Australia was long regarded as the fastest bowler in the world (with a fastest ball clocked at 99.7 mph and rumoured to have broken the 100 mph barrier. The fastest delivery that has ever been officially recorded clocked in at 101.8 mph and was bowled by Shoaib Akhtar Pakistan during a match against India.

BTW => I got the Offbreak and Legbreak style BUT didn’t get the nuance between Offbreak and Googly [the ball spins from off to leg stump]; Legbreak to Chinaman [the ball spins from leg to off stumps]**
