If Bolt played cricket instead of athletics ?

Question

what would it be like facing him as a fast bowler?

and would it advantage the west Indies or disadvantage them in running between the wickets?

Answer 1

He'd go alright. Most of the West Indian fast bowlers - were/are tall and lean - Joel garner, Michael Holding, etc if he could bowl accurate as well as quick, then he could be deadly - as for running between the wickets it shouldn't be a problem it's only 20 metres.  

Answer 2

bolt is a runner not bowler.he may run fast but may not bowl too well.he will run fast batween the wicket.

Answer 3

then he would not be able to take two runs , but he will never run out on a single

Answer 4

he wpuld be awful completly different baseball he would be cgood

Answer 5

Michael Holding was a champion sprinter and was for a long time the fastest bowler of his era.

I was also a pretty good sprinter with a few sub 11's but I bowled a little faster than Shane Warne and a little slower than snow fall.  

So you really can't tell!!

As for running between the wickets - that's about communication and ability to turn well and 'read' a run - not speed (though it helps a little)
