Speed and Height !

*The Question On The Short Heightened Speedster’ s Sheer Pace…. Shit….!
( On M Marshel and Waqar Yunus who were just 5.11 feet tall as the speedster and the question is raised in a social media group West Indies Cricket that a short height bowler who could generate sheer pace how can it possible. The fan says that it might be due to the banned drugs . So the fan is not agreed that M Marshel was a great fast bowler. M Marshel got death due to cancer and the certain reason behind was that that he could generate the genuine pace. A fan objected and refute the reaction by saying it is an insult of the former and passed away bowling great. The fan gave example of stripping the award and medal of some sprinter O Powel and Ben Johnson who used the prohibited energetic pills or drugs. Yes it might be because in that era there was no such case exposed because the game was fair and professionalism was not in their blood and they were honest in this concern . The question is how can a short man 5.9 can bowl with 100 plus speed . Oh yes there is myth that only a tall 6 feet at least and plus height holder can bowl fast. No ,there is no measure of power with height . We have seen that short height heavyweight M Tyson destroyed many giants and monsters on the floor of boxing ring. A 5.5 height holder person can lift 200 kg in weight lifting. He can run so fast. Can beat in wrestling. Can throw juvellion so far . Yes can jump. I mean the height isn’t issue there. It is the physical power that plays the role in it. Yes according to philosophy the height plays the role of bonus and that’s why in the army and police there is a certain criteria for selection . But you can see a bitter truth that a Nepali Sherpoy can climb so swiftly and easily upward the mountain . It’s mule who can climb easily up to the hill but the horse can’t . So power is not the patrimony of anybody and it can be in a short person such as the tall person. Brushley wasn’t tall and giant stature person but had more power and fragility than a giant person .
So we should respect M Marshall’s feat and can’t be defame him to point out his height and genuine bowling speed.
We know the famous tale of minnow David and mammoth Gulliath.
Here I do say to the fan who pointed out the height of M Marshell but he wasn’t short height bowler . Yes he was 5.11 inch tall it means just 1 inch less than 6 feet. So how can he be considered short heighten bowler. Yes his compatriots were giant in height like M Holding ,G Garner,I Bishop, C Craft,C Ambros, C Walsh ,P Peterson ,A Roberts who were 6 feet plus tall so comparatively he was bit short to them but had the stout shoulders and specific rhythmic bowling run up and action and above it the will and passion to bowl fast so he could generate extra pace. Yes the height isn’t the guarantee to be the bowl fast. Yes there are many bowlers who were so tall yeah plus 6.5 but alas they were not able to generate extra pace. In this concern India’s Venkatesh Prasad who was almost 7 feet but could reach 125 plus only . And some speedster like Henry Olanga, Yograj Singh had the speed but couldn’t control the length. So M Marshall is the greatest speedster of the world .
