Colin "funky" Miller bowled spin after starting out as a pacer and was a regular in the Aussie side for a stretch. During that stretch he would also bowl pace based on conditions. Johan Botha was a pacer first. Our own Mohammed Rafique used to be a pacer in the Dhaka Premiere League which means he made the grade through all the ranks as a pacer. It was some international cricketer's suggestion that made him switch to spin. That's why he was quick through the air. Apparently Riyadh was a pacer to but I have not been able to substantiate that. Last but certainly not least, India's ratna and our not-so-much-treasure, Tendu and Ash can both bowl mixes of leggie, offie and seam up and Mash bowled off-break in a few matches when injured.
