Natural blunderers should therefore always be bowlers. 'Slow bowler': one who opens the bowling for an English cricket team. 'Fast bowler': one who bowls to an Australian opening batsman. It will at once be apparent from the preceding definitions that one man may be both a slow and a fast bowler at the same time. Do not allow this to puzzle you - the game has its own metaphysics as well as its ritual and its regalia.
