More speed in delivery, without thorough command of the ball, is worse than useless. The wear and tear of catcher, the tedious character of play it introduces in a match, and the cost in called and passed balls, not to mention injuries to batsmen who get hit with the ball, are all costly drawbacks which doubly offset what slight advantages the speedy delivery presents in outs on strikes.
