You wouldn't fear injury. A dimension was lacking.

In the current ashes series [2013], there had been excellent fast-medium bowling, most strikingly from Jimmy Anderson and Ryan Harris, but where were the men who can bowl at 90 mph and over? were was the sheer pace and hostility of those earlier years. Eight or nine fast bowlers played, and against most of them, for almost all the time, you wouldn't fear injury. A dimension was lacking.
