West Indies bowling coach Corey Collymore Wednesday expressed confidence that his four-pronged pace attack will pose problems for a fancied England side in their upcoming ICC World Cup match.
West Indies take on hosts and tournament favourites England at the Hampshire Bowl on Friday.
"We have quick bowlers too so it should be a lively game," said bowling coach Collymore - who also used to bowl around the 90mph mark in his early career.
"We have shown what we can do with our fast bowlers, we are good enough to take wickets with the new ball and then go from there," he was quoted as saying in the ICC website.
West Indies are coming off their defeat to Australia while England easily saw off Bangladesh in the last game.
Speaking further on fast bowling, Collymore said, "I don't think many people like the short stuff, whether it is England or the West Indies. If you find a batsman that has a weakness to it, then you go after that.
"The West Indies have always produced fast bowlers. The two nations that has always had talented fast bowlers for me are the West Indies and Pakistan.
"From years gone by, that was something we prided ourselves on and now you see we have some more coming through."
