Raw pace and bounce. Trust me, I was a fast bowler in my college days. I can tell by looking at a batsman becoz they are scared of getting hit on their body. A batsman only loses his wicket if he struggles against spin swing or seam. But getting hit by a cricket ball which is bowled at pace is d most scary part in cricket.

Depending on pitch & conditions.

IMO, spin bowling is difficult to face. The batsman doesn't know where the ball turns.

Personally being a right hander left arm fast bowler.. he doesn't have to swing bothways lol even angling itself was uncomfortable for me.

RHB perspective - Off Spinner with a doosra

Personally i have faced left arm fast bowlers and they are most difficult to play with the ball coming in. Spin is not a problem as you can smash them all over. 1)Left arm fast bowler swinging both ways. 2)Fast bowler with Slower ball/cutter variations. 3)Right arm fast bowler swinging both ways. 4)Raw pace and bounce. 5)Reverse swing. 6)Offspinner with Doosra. 7)Leg spinner with Googly.

Everything if u have a poor technique. Reverse swing Left arm fast bowler swinging both ways(If u r sehwag or vijay) Right arm fast bowler swinging both ways(Most Indians) Raw pace and bounce(if u r raina)

Those Lethal fast boilers from Pakistan. :afraid: A Left Arm Quick like Zaheer Wasim, Junaid. Someone who can bowl reverse and swing it both way.

[BeautifulGame]

Really depends on the strength of the batsman .Dont think u can give assertive answers fro these sort of questions imo

Here is my view: Fast bowler swinging both ways is the toughest to face. For right handers its left arm fast bowler and vice versa. First the batsman sees the bowler on his wrong side, coming round the wicket (mostly) and invaribly some balls pitches on the blind spot. Secondly its difficlut to judge which way the ball will swing based on the wrist action. Most of the pace bowlers swing in the air which makes it that much more difficult. Thrid - Since its pace bowling it gives less time to adjust if you cannot judge which way the ball will swing. Spinner with doosra/googly - Can be picked easily from the wrist and since the bowl comes slowly it gives time to adjust. Raw pace with bounce - Not that tough to handle because faster you bowl...quicker it goes.

Left arm Quicks who can bring the ball back in especially with the angle that the ball is bowled with.
