Fast-medium
It seems to me that Garner is better described as “fast-medium” than “fast.” For instance, Glenn McGrath is considered fast-medium, and bowled around 80 mph -- but would seem deceptively fast because he could generate considerable bounce and significant vertical velocity, which a speed gun can’t quite measure. Garner was apparently similar. According to Wisden, “Garner, in fact, is not really fast. The top men generate speed through the air of between 90 and 95 miles an hour, if the scientific measurements are to be believed. Garner would be between 75 and 80. Where he is most awkward is in the sharp lift he can achieve from his immense height. The steeper the lift, the more difficult it becomes to counter – hence Garner’s success.” Tejas Subramaniam (talk) 19:53, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
