There was a time when cricket had legends like Glenn McGrath, Shaun Pollock, and Wasim Akram, known for their pinpoint accuracy rather than sheer speed. Their precise line and length made them formidable, and they didn't rely on pace alone. Personally, I admired these three bowlers greatly and doubted anyone could surpass them.
Later, bowlers like Lasith Malinga and Dale Steyn emerged, famous for their fast bowling. However, the modern era, with its batsman- friendly pitches, made me skeptical that another great fast bowler could rise to the level of McGrath or Akram. Mitchell Starc and Trent Boult are good, but they lack that magical touch.
