Cricket has bees so fast now, as we can only see show from the batsmen side, but in the past their were bowlers who bowl like a speed of 150kph and we have seen them they have long hairs and when they entered the ground mostly the batters on the ground will be frightened as we can saw that Shoaib Akhter from Pakistan's Team. Not only he there were too many these days, we have also seen Bret Lee when he came to bowling mostly the batsmen will also be in the pressure position. Also Dale Steyn was one of the best bowlers of his era.

But now we didn't see the charm in the bowlers and we can't see those bowlers who have some long hairs and have some stamina to bowl like what they have to do in the past against different teams. Now we can only see sixes everywhere and runs everywhere.

I agree with you that cricket has changed Nowadays. At present the focus is more on the batsmen and their ability to hit sixes and score runs. In the past we have bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar Brett Lee and Dale Steyn who were not only fast bowlers but also have a aggressive bowling style. When they on the pitch they mostly pressurized the batsman.

Being a Pakistani we really miss Shoaib Akhtar. He was a good bowler. I remember that match in which he bowled and the batsman was Sourav Ganguly and Shoaib Akhtar Broke the Ribs of him.
By the way we saw in the world cup now the 300 runs are nothing but in the past 300 runs was a big figure. And now 350 to 400 runs target is mostly common.
