maaki Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry Yantra i left the speed gun at home.. I dont think they measure speeds during his time.. Remember it was during Kapil Dev Gavasakar era.. Also Karsan Gavri would have been quicker than a lot of the bowlers listed ... Maaki, do you have any proof, that R Kulkarni was quiker then Srinath? effectively that means he was close to 160kmph or 100mph. Link to comment
Yantra Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 It is pity that we indian did not produce many bowlers of express pace, That's why these people like Lilee, Bruce Yardly and Aqib Javed dared to say that you indian perticularly hindus don't have it in you to bowl fast, one of the reason Aqib gave is that because we don't eat red meat. I wish we can produce couple of quality express bowlers and shut these guys mouth off. Link to comment
Yantra Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Maaki, I have seen Raju Kulkarni and I think he was nowhere close to 150, he was may be around 140eis, he may look quick compare to the bowler we had at that time, kapil, binny, madan, they were all medium pace. I remember him as the bowler who always fell down ones in the spell, but in that match he played against windies, bowlers from windies looked much quicker then him. Link to comment

gator Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yantra, u might need to add Ishant.... He clocked 143.7 in the 3rd test at Perth... Link to comment
dial_100 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 is this a list of adult bowlers only? if not why not a kid like Ishant Sharma? Link to comment
Rajan Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Prashanth vaidya- of vidharba, and who featured in a few one day matches too, albeit after he lost his pace due to injuries, used to be very fast during the early to mid 1990's. IMHO Javagal Srinath's fastest spell was in his first series in south africa in 1992-93, when kiran more who was the keeper told media that srinath was faster than donald. TA Shekar( TAP according to cricinfo) was couple of yards faster than Kapil Dev, when he played a test against pakistan in pakistan. also in 3 one day matches against england in india. but unfortunately, he was dropped because of team politics(read kapil dev as the reason).

cricket_is_life Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 top ten indian bowlers I was a hard core cricket fan and would never missed a single delivery, I am watching regular cricket since 1986, and here are the mileage of the indian bowlers I notices, 1, J Srinath - 156Kmph (99, Africa tour) 2, A Nehra - 149 Kmph (2003 World cup) 3, S Sreesanth - 149 Kmph (Kuwalmpur tri series 2006) 4, RP Singh - 147 Kmph ( Recent Aus series) 5, A Agarkar - 146 Kmph (when he made his debut around 2001-2002) 6, Z Khan - 146 Kmph ( 2003 world cup) 7, A Bhandari - 145 Kmph (2004 Aus tour-this guy was really good strong bowler with good action in his early days, but unfortunate one) 8, VRV Singh - 145 Kmph (2006 Africa tour) 9, Munaf Patel - 143 Kmph (early 2006) 10, L Balaji - 140 Kmph (2004 Pakistan tour) All the above bowler have legal bowling action not like Shoaib or Bret who have suspect action, Apart from these recorded speed I guess Salil Ankola was also very quick, Kapil dev was quick in 79-82 era, If you know some one who was missed from this list you can suggest here, i dont think anyone was left out n by the way it is brett not bret Link to comment

Bowling once a ball at 145kmph wont make him a fast bowler. They are all medium pace bowlers. Link to comment

msb1991 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 None of these bowlers are fast bowlers. Bowling once a ball at 145kmph wont make him a fast bowler. They are all medium pace bowlers. I think Srinath could be classed as a fast bowler. Link to comment
Ram Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think a more relevant stat would be the average speeds, rather than the top speed ever recorded. Based on what I have seen, and I really dont remember too many speed numbers from Srinath, I would say Sreesanth is the fastest ever bowler India has produced. Link to comment

Based on what I have seen, and I really dont remember too many speed numbers from Srinath, I would say Sreesanth is the fastest ever bowler India has produced. not yet.. i have followed Srinath's bowling wen speed guns WERE there and he would consistently clock around 150 with top speed around 155.... he was consistently operating at tht speed for around 2-3 yrs... Sreesanth needs to do tht for atleast 2-3 yrs and has to clock around 150 more consistently to beat Srinath... nowadays he averages around 145... Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 India has fast bowlers??? Since when?? I am wondering the same. SS and RPS are abt as medium fast as they get for us. Link to comment

Gats, are you really sure ? The times I have seen Srinath, which is from 1996 onwards, I have never seen him bowl that fast. And speed guns came in at much much later than that. Link to comment
Shehezaada Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ishant Sharma clocks in at 147.2 Link to comment
