Strike bowling is the term usually applied to bowlers who are used primarily to take wickets rather than restrict runs. Typically, strike bowlers work in short spells, either at the start of an innings or to confront new batters, although they are also employed tactically at other times.<ref>{{cite book |last=Rundell |first=Michael |date=2006 |title=The Wisden Dictionary of Cricket |edition=3rd |location=London |publisher=Wisden |isbn=0713679158 |page=178}}</ref> For fast bowlers, results can be achieved through sheer speed and aggression, rather than by trying to make the ball move through the air ([[swing bowling]]) or off the pitch ([[seam bowling]]). More commonly, however, a combined approach is adopted to produce balls that the batter finds difficult or impossible to play, whatever the speed at which they are delivered. In this respect, the inswinging [[yorker]] is a good example of delivery that, even when bowled relatively slowly, can nevertheless be highly effective.
