Fast as well as Spin Bowler.

Sort of tangentially related, Mark Wood gets a pretty decent pace off a run that's not much longer than the average spinner's.

Only other chap who regularly touched 90mph with such a truncated approach I can recall was 90s Franco-Victorian back strain enthusiast Craig White.

EDIT: actually Chalky used to bowl offies originally, didn't he?

Hanif Mohammed bowled slow left and right arm in a test and I think a Sri Lankan has done the same in an ODI. Dawson bowls left but throws right handed. Not sure if he can also bowl right handed but you would think he could.

Good spot I'm sure he bowled both. Giles started as a seamers.

International Captain
Monty Noble mixed pace and spin, i think.

If he really did, then three of the greatest all round cricketers , noble, sobers and k.miller, and another terrific all-rounder tony grieg, belong to this group. This particular skill is probably not suitable for full time bowlers.
