Jan 15, 2008, 18:25 Are you naturally a genuine pacer or did you acquire that pace by doing extra exercises like gym? (from Shahbaz) I actually get asked this question a lot. My pace is natural though you can help your body by going in the gym and doing the right exercises to keep your body strong. But I think you don't just become fast from doing gym work, you need a natural ability to bowl fast. Jan 14, 2008, 14:04 What is the fastest you have bowled and do you plan on going even quicker? (from Waleed (?) and Bobby (?)) The fastest recorded delivery I have bowled is 160.2 kmh in an ODI against New Zealand at the MCG on February 6, 2007. But I reckon I have bowled faster when the speed gun was not working, like in the Twenty20 match against New Zealand in Perth last year. So I suppose I still think I can bowl faster, yes. Jan 14, 2008, 13:57 Hi Shaun, I want to ask you what you take in a food that makes you a muscle man to deliver such extreme pace bowling? What is your diet to keep you fit? (from Vipin) I eat just about anything really though I try to cut out fatty foods and keep a balanced diet, but there are still times we need fatty and sugary foods, but in moderation.
