Never.

The umpire will allow a certain number of beamers but won't let a bowler do it constantly. He will have to put in some "normal" balls as well. It's considered poor form just to kill the batsman without giving him a fair chance.

A few into the ribs, or head at ninety odd miles an hour certainly gets the Batsman thinking what's going on.

You're not allowed to bowl beamers.

A beamer is when a ball is aimed at a batsman above stump level and is strictly forbidden, a full toss is where the ball is aimed is below stump level and is allowed but hardly practiced because any batsman worth his salt would dispatch it for four runs.

Bouncers, where the ball hits the pitch before twatting a batsman in the heid, are fine and subject to no restrictions at test level but you can only do one per over in one-day games.

That's very much tempered by the good reason as to why there is no silent 'S' in ECB.

I mean, if a Yemeni national made a bold statement declaring this World Cup to be a resounding success from an African standpoint, I'd have to take it at face value.

It's only polite.

And if you're one thing it's someone who takes things at face value and is polite to a fault.

It's a burden.
