Ian Bishop reveals his favourite pacer

Ian Bishop, who had been a nightmare for many batsmen during his playing days, stated that the last two years had witnessed a rise in fast bowlers. When asked about the top fast bowlers he is most keen to watch in action, the giant West Indian was quick to pick Barbados-born Jofra Archer, who has taken the cricketing world by storm with his raw pace.

“There are so many. Jofra Archer. I almost feel when he’s on song that it’s the perfect streamlined technique. Naseem Shah. Jasprit Bumrah. Mohammed Shami – oh god, I love Shami! That whole core group of what India bring, where I don’t want to pick anyone and say, “This one more than the other,” Ian Bishop said to ESPNCricinfo.

“Kagiso Rabada. Kemar Roach – I love watching Kemar. He has developed into a fantastic bowler. He’s not fast, he has lost pace, but with Jason Holder, that’s two excellent fast-medium bowlers. Lockie Ferguson… there are too many! I want to say Neil Wagner, but I don’t know how Wagner does what he does! All of those guys provide a cutting edge that excites me,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ian Bishop is currently in India for his commentary stint in the series between India and Bangladesh. Both teams will lock horns in three-match T20I series starting from December 6 followed by the same number of ODIs.
