:medium. The record books enter the fast bowlers in the following category acc-
:ordinight arm fast]  Waqar, Ambrose
:RFM [right arm fast medium] Kapil, Aquib,
:RMF [right arm medium fast] Mudassar, Madan lal, S. Waugh

        Hey, you are confussing people, the fast bowling is categorized
        as given below:
    1) Fast ex: Thomson, Lille, Holding, Bishop, Patterson,Waqar etc.
    2) Medium-Fast ex: Srinath, Chris Lewis, Merv Hughes, Mcdormett etc.
        Note: Wasim Arkram and C.Ambrose are somewhere in the border
              of medium-fast and Fast, hence they get refered as both.
    3) Fast-Medium: Kapil, Botham, Defretias[sp.] etc
    4) Medium : Prabhakar, Aquid Javeed etc.
    5) Military/Slow Medium: Tendulkar etc.

    Note: Don't get confused by Medium-Fast and Fast-medium. They are
          just the usage of the English language. The first word is
          always the adjective which describes the noun. For example
          Black-Cow, black is the color of the cow. Similarly
          Medium-Fast is "Fast", but of medium type in the "Fast" category and
          Fast-Medium is "Medium", but of fast type in the "Medium" category.

I still believe what I said earlier was right. I have seen career record
figures and these bowlers have listed exactly the way I wrote  earlier. I
guess we need a third party here. Anyone with a better reference??
