Bouncer 1 or Bouncer 2?
This is not so much a request for advice as an opinion thread.
Which type of bouncer do you people think is more effective. Basically, if you had all the tools in the box, which would you bowl?
1. The Glenn McGrath bouncer clocks low on the speed gun (130kph) but gets steep bounce. It relies on keeping an upright position and use of long levels to push the ball from a large height into the pitch. The laws of physics simply state that because it has come down from a height, it will likely rise to such a height too.

2. The 'fast bowler' bouncer is a much simpler act. It simply certails bowling as fast as you can, whilst aiming into the pitch. Literally banging the ball in, the body usually follows the arm into the pitch and the follow through is much more vigourous. This ball is usually around the 140kph area. However, it often does not hit the right length nor gets up to the right height (either too high or too low) and is occasionally pulled comfortably for four. When you get it right though, it most certainly troubles the best of batsmen and may draw blood.
