Consistency, not just pace is what fast bowlers should strive for: Shane Bond

At the peak of his career, Shane Bond was considered a worthy successor to New Zealand bowling legend Sir Richard Hadlee. His fastest recorded delivery of 156.4 km/h in the 2003 World Cup would have sent danger signals to most batting line-ups around the world and also marked him for greater heights of achievement in the future. To date he has the second best strike-rate in Test cricket amongst bowlers who have bowled a minimum of 2,500 deliveries.

When Richard Hadlee denied himself a 10-wicket innings haul by putting team over personal milestone

Three decades ago, international cricket featured some of the greatest all-rounders ever, whose presence elevated cricket of that era to exceptional heights. Imran Khan, Ian Botham, Kapil Dev and Richard Hadlee could single-handedly win a game with the bat or ball. While there were other stalwarts in Pakistan, India and England, New Zealand depended heavily on Hadlee.
