This is what i meant when i said in the other thread that back in the day Gillespie was consistently a much quicker bowler than srinath and the opposition and pundits rated him as such .

an article from when shoaib and lee reignited the pace wars.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/cricinfoat20/content/current/story/661125.html

 

watch this. This is much quicker than Gillespie ever bowled. Gillespie never made batsmen hop and jump. Only bowlers who did that in last 10-15 years are Lee, Shoaib, Harmison, Starc, Johnson and they all clocked 150 when they did that.

In the absence of speed guns we have to go with the batsmen's view.

In this instance the batsmen are the likes of Hussain , thorpe and stewart .

They all have mentioned the pace of waqar , donald . I havent heard them say srinath .

He is bowling sharp here but its more the cut off the seam than sheer air speed .

You guys are underestimating Gillespie . He lost a lot of pace later on but he 2

 was very sharp at one point.

Gillespie was fast medium at best like Bumrah (same pace range) and not genuine fast.  Regarding the above video. Check the bouncers, they have not cuts look how batsmen are jumping and hopping.

No .

Gillespie clocked over 150 kph several times in test matches even upto 153 kph.

Bumrah doesnt even play test matches and has not clocked anything above 150 kph.

Lolz.... Suddenly, why are we jumping to Gillespie? Hehehehe... You clearly said that Wasim and Waqar were faster, and just a few posts above you said they bowled faster than Srinath in 2003 WC. Please provide your proof

My proof is the countless matches from the carlton and united series and others they played together .

Not to mentiom opposition testimonies .

Waqar is widely regarded as the fastest bowler of the 90s much quicker than srinath .

What's your proof again , internet expert lol ??

Waqar was the quickest bowler from 1989 to 1994 or thereabouts.   He was really fast in this period.   His reputation was true and augmented due to his high quality toe-crushers. But his pace reduced after that due to injuries.

 

Srinath was at his quickest from 1995 to 1997 .... hit those 157 k, 156 k speeds in this period and was quicker than Waqar during this period. Then had his shoulder surgery.

 

The lives of fast bowlers are tough .... No-one stays the fastest bowler for a decade and injuries are inevitable.

1.  Every Indian knows that Prasad and Mohanty are 2 of our slowest seamers in the last 25 years.... what is the point of giving their reference  ?  Moreover, Prasad bowled upto 130 k but somehow becomes 120 k   

 

2.  Not a single speed of Srinath is shown in his opening spell or middle spell.  All speeds are 43 over onwards .... when Srinath was bowling slowish-cutters and slower balls almost all  the time.

 

3. Srinath was nowhere near his top speed in the 2000s.

 

3.  Akram and Waqar are not seen bowling in this video. The 130 k - 135 k guy was Razzak.

 

4. Wasim was 34 and Waqar 29 in year 2000 .... none of them were 40.

Wrong

Srinath is not bowling cutters but rather fast yorkers.

You need to watch again if you cant see anyone other than razzak .

Akram is bowling quicker than srinath .

Lol waqars age is not acurate .

Don't worry, we all know that lying and cheating comes naturally to Pakistani cricketers, so no surprises there. Whats hilarious is, someone trying to win an argument by proving they had cheated about their age!

Lol i am not trying to win any argument . I am just stating a fact here .

Not really indian cricketers are just as big if not bigger cheaters . 

Not as good at cricket though.

Indian pacers do bowl fast in the forums dont know why they trundle in an actual india pakistan game.

Most deliveries bowled by him are either slower cutters or slower balls .

Find a proper video if you want to prove your point.

 

Saw again and they may have shown 1 delivery of Akram at the beginning.  No Waqar.

 

While Srinath's speed has not been shown in his opening spell, where he used to bowl the fastest.  Slog overs are very bad times to gauge speeds unless you are a yorker specialist.

Happens with so many cricketers in Pakistan ..... but he was nowhere near 40 ... may have been 31 or 32 actually
