According to Cricinfo Yadav and Finn bowl as fast as Kulasekara and Ian Butler bowls faster.

You have made a very good point here. This topic deserves a separate thread. You can make it . Cricinfo is definitely an anti Indian bowler website for sure. According to them -- Umesh , who bowls 137 to 150 k , is Fast Medium !! Aaron , who bowls similar speeds, is medium. !! Shami is medium, !! Srinath, who was at times quicker than Donald, is Fast-medium. !! NCN, who bowls 135 to 142 k, is Fast. Cricinfo's classification cannot be trusted.

Why this partiality from the best website on cricket in the planet on two of the biggest cricket markets. WHY ?

So, Kulasekhara and Matthews are quicker than Aaron and same pace as Srinath ! ! Philander is the same pace as Umesh and Finn. ! ! Cricinfo. :((

but but..they are saying Junaid is phast while Yadav is not... :protest:

[saneindian]

lol fast medium, medium fast, medium, fast, slow - does it really matter? Didn't check they mention such things in player profile. Watch the matches, watch the speed gun, decide for yourself.

one thing i realised is Srinath has put on a lot of weight since retirement.

There are so many debates going on, based on information and classifications on Cricinfo on cricinfo, that this faux pas cannot be ignored. We have to remember that not everyone can watch a lot of cricket. They form their opinion by referring to info on Cricinfo. Youngsters get an idea about players of yesteryears by referring to this website. These anomalies need rectification.

So Mathews and Kulasekara are as fast as Finn, Yadav and Aaron?

[SLICKR392]

This one's even worse-

[MCcricket]

Umesh, Aaron, Suyal, Shukla are all fast, Shami f/m, Ishant has regressed to f/m , YES there r diff standards as far as qualifying Indian pacers

[saneindian]

Am yet to across a debate on internet or elsewhere where these Cricinfo profile related information is used as a fact! Not even on ICF. In an earlier era when speed gun was not there, there could have been a case of such information giving people a false opinion. Not so in the modern era where even domestic matches have got speed guns. In fact even on Radio commentary, these days the bowling speeds have started to find a mention!

Why cat it be accurate like everything else they publish after all they are the cricket worlds bible.

You know something is wrong when yadav and kulasekara are grouped together :giggle: Maybe " Blade-Runner" has something to do with it :--D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mathews, Kula :hatsoff: always knew they were quite quick.

[vamos_rafa]

I hope he answers.

Looking into it...

[vamos_rafa]

Most of this data is fed by the editors... I would certainly ask this to them if I catch someone.

[rkt.india]

Butler used to be fast once but injuries took a huge toll on him and he is now mainly medium fast, not even fast medium.

[Hafeez]

Told u Guys Many Time before Junaid And Irfan both are Far faster than B.Kumar Soon B.Kumar will became 125kph Bowler like Most Indian Fast bowler To be honest Yadav is 140kph Bowler Right arm Fast
