In cricket, a player is a master of a field or style. Every batsman has his own style to play a bowler. Players like AB de Villiers have the ability to hit the ball at every nook and corner of the ground. Whereas talking about bowlers, they have two styles to pick the wicket either by spinning the bowl or bowling with speed and accuracy.
There are a few former cricketers who possessed rare versatility. These players could bowl both medium pace and spin while they have also been successful at times. Here, in this article, we’ll take a look at the five bowlers who mastered the dual form of bowling and delivered spin and pace bowling in the same match.
5 Bowlers Who Bowled Spin And Pace In The Same Game:
5. Colin Miller:
Former Australian cricketer Colin Miller has the special ability to spin the bowl as well as deliver the ball at a fast-medium pace. He was the off-spinner who also used to pick the wickets with his fast bowling. Though he has not played only 18 Test matches, his special quality is mainly remembered.
In March 2000 against New Zealand, he, first, bowled spin against Stephen Fleming, and when Matthew Sinclair came to the crease on the last ball of the over, he completed the over with medium-fast bowling.
