Seam bowling is generally classed as a subtype of fast bowling, although the bowling speeds at which seam can be a factor include medium-pace bowling. Although there are specialist seamers that make deliberate use of off-cutters and leg-cutters at the expense of bowling slower than regular fast bowlers, most bowlers employ the seam to some effect so therefore the terms "seamer" and "fast bowler" are largely synonymous.
