Examples of bowler in a Sentence

1. Cheteshwar Pujara:

   It’s tough, especially losing Jadeja because we are one bowler short at the moment, we need to pick up a couple of wickets in the morning and not allow them too many runs in the first session.

2. Jeff Thomson:

   I think Jasprit Bumrah is very, very interesting. He runs off a very short run-up. He jogs and then bowls with a very short run. He has got straight arms. His bowling is not textbook by any means, but it works. He is very different from other pace bowlers, which reminds me of another fast bowler of my era, who was very different from everyone else
