I remember during the '96 world cup, the broadcaster had a very strict criteria for displaying someone as a "fast bowler" as opposed to a "fast medium bowler" on TV
IIRC, the only ones called "Fast" were the West Indian 3 (Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop), McGrath, Wasim/Waqar, Donald and oddly enough one Ravindra Pushpakumara from Sri lanka
I was not sure what the criteria was but now I think it was somenone who could reach 150 kph
